From Thursday to Friday, athletes would converge in Warri for the National Championships which will be the final audition for a place in the Nigerian team going to the 2015 World Championships in Beijing.

This is more than securing a place in the Nigerian team, as a lot will be at stake. There is a matter of pride, with some of the athletes eager to prove a point about being the best in their events. To some, it can’t come any sooner, while many will be eager to reclaim the title they lost last year, just to make a statement.
