Tima Godbless won her first senior title at the National Sports Festival in Asaba.
Never in doubt, considering she was the highest-ranked athlete coming to Asaba, Tima Godbless lived up to fans' expectations winning the National Sports Festival 100m title.
The Bayelsa state athlete was unbeaten in all the rounds and topped it with a brilliant performance in the final, outclassing the rest of the field in a time of 11.32s. In second and third place was Delta’s duo of Faith Okpo and Praise Ofoku, clocking 11.50s and 11.57s respectively.
Godbless was a Bronze medallist at the 20th edition in Edo State and has now secured the main prize winning her first senior National title in grand style, running her fastest times on Nigerian soil from the heat stages to the final.
The 18-year-old will now have her eyes set on acheiveing a sprints double by competing in the 200m and perhaps medal in the relays with her state.
After this, she will be going on a college scholarship at Louisiana State University, joining Favour Ofili.
