Posted : 24 March 2025

Nigerian sprint sensation Tobi Amusan kicked off her season in style, claiming victory in the women’s 100m A final at the Velocity Fest 16 in Jamaica.


Amusan, who now trains with Racers Track Club, crossed the finish line in 11.28 seconds (-0.5), finishing ahead of Jamaica’s Serena Cole (11.45s) and Bahamian sprinter Anthonique Strachan (11.46s).


The Velocity Fest 16 marked an exciting start to the outdoor track and field season, with several athletes setting personal and season-best records.


Amusan’s victory in Jamaica reinforces her position as a top contender for upcoming international competitions, setting the tone for what promises to be another thrilling year in athletics.


The event, held at Jamaica College’s Ashenheim Stadium, saw impressive performances from other athletes as well. Ackeem Blake, representing Dynamic Speed, won the men’s 100m A final in 10.06 seconds, beating Zharnel Hughes (10.14s) and Adrian Kerr (10.29s).


Roshawn Clarke, Jamaica’s national 400m hurdles record holder, delivered a standout performance in the men’s 400m, breaking the 45-second barrier for the first time with a personal best of 44.98 seconds. Olympic 100m finalist Oblique Seville also impressed, winning the men’s 200m with a season-best time of 20.53 seconds.


Amusan’s winning start to the season is a promising sign for Nigerian athletics, and fans will be eagerly awaiting her next competition.
