Ochonogor Set to Star in Women’s 100m at Baylor Invitational 2026
Tarleton State sophomore Prestina Oluchi Ochonogor will headline the women’s sprints at the Baylor Invitational 2026 on Friday, marking her first outdoor 100m appearance of the season.
The 19-year-old, already a two-time Nigerian long jump champion, has shown impressive sprinting potential after clocking a lifetime best of 7.31 seconds in the 60m earlier this year.
She will be aiming to lower her 100m personal best of 11.47 seconds, set at the Nigerian Championships last season, as she continues to follow the path of Blessing Okagbare, who successfully transitioned from jumps to sprinting.
Joining her in the women’s 100m is Tima Godbless, who will look to improve on the wind-aided 11.37 she ran at the Battle on the Bayou last week.
The women’s 200m will feature Baylor University’s Oghene Success Oyibu, who is targeting a faster mark after her wind-aided 23.11 at the TCU Alumni Invite in March.
On the men’s side, 19-year-old Joshua Caleb is listed for the 100m and will be chasing a legal personal best after running a wind-aided 10.33 at the Hurricane Collegiate Invitational in Florida last month.
