Having competed at last week’s Warri Relays, most Nigerian athletes now have their sights set on the two days Nigerian Championships which would only guarantee a passage to the 2015 World Championships.

It wasn’t the best of performances from some of these athletes at the meet, but one can understand if they are keeping their best for the real deal, knowing that any little niggle could mar their ambitions of being in China. With the weather not being the best to compete in, some of them just trudged along to the finish line, not really bothered about the times they returned.
