Chukwuma wins 100m race ahead of Ofili in Louisiana
Rosemary Chukwuma started her outdoor season with a strong victory at the Battle on the Bayou in Louisiana, finishing ahead of her training partner Favour Ofili and Audrey Leduc. Chukwuma clocked 10.81s, but the tailwind means it won’t count as a legal personal best. Her official PB remains 10.88s, set at the John McDonnell Field in Fayetteville, USA, in May 2024. Chukwuma has consistently represented Nigeria in major international competitions.
