Texas Tech University's shining light in the female sprint events cannot stop winning, clocks a new SR as Godson Brume races to new 200m PB.

Another week and Rosemary Chukwuma races to a new record-breaking time, clocking 22.82s to win the 200m event at the Jarvis Scott Open in Lubbock.

Chukwuma's fantastic time smashed her Personal Best (PB) of 22.99s clocked two weeks ago, and just 0.02s shy of Mureille Ahoure's second fastest time of 22.80s in African history, as Favour Ofili leads the pack with her recently clocked African Record (AR) of 22.36s.

The Texas Tech University junior also broke the School Record (SR) set in 2015 and is now the SR holder in the 60m and 200m indoors.

Chukwuma has been in blazing form this season, racing to new PBs in every meet she has competed.

Two weeks ago, she clocked a 60m PB of 7.09s, which rose to No. 5 on the all-time Nigerian indoor list and tied for seventh in African history. This performance came after running 7.11s in her season's debut two weeks earlier.
