Anambra State continues to demonstrate its sporting excellence, securing another remarkable victory in the Girls’ 4x100m relay at the National Youth Games. With a flawless performance, the team sprinted to their second consecutive GOLD medal, finishing the race in an impressive 48.21 seconds, firmly establishing their dominance in the competition.

Edo’s athletes put up a formidable fight, crossing the finish line just behind Anambra with a time of 48.82 seconds to claim the SILVER medal. Team Ogun followed closely, earning the BRONZE medal with a commendable time of 48.90 seconds. However, it was Anambra’s cohesive teamwork, speed, and determination that propelled them to victory once again.
What adds to the significance of this triumph is the presence of two athletes from last year’s gold-winning quartet, who returned to defend their title. Their experience and leadership were instrumental in guiding the new team to success, showing that Anambra’s track and field program is not just focused on short-term victories but on building a legacy of excellence. These returning champions proved their mettle, contributing to a seamless transition and ensuring that the team remained a step ahead of their rivals.
Anambra State’s athletics program has clearly set a high standard, consistently producing talented athletes who shine on the national stage. Their success is no accident; it reflects a well-oiled machine that continues to nurture young talent, combining rigorous training, discipline, and strategic development.
The fact that Anambra has managed to retain the GOLD in such a fiercely competitive event speaks volumes about the state’s commitment to sports development. From grassroots programs to elite coaching, it is evident that something special is happening in Anambra, and their formula for success is one that other states may seek to emulate.
As the dust settles on yet another exhilarating race, Anambra’s Girls’ 4x100m relay team stands tall, not only as champions but as symbols of sustained excellence and perseverance in Nigerian athletics.
