Nigeria’s quartet, Dubem Nwachukwu, Patience Okon George, Ezekiel Nathaniel, and Imaobong Nse Uko out of 4x400m mixed relay event at this year’s World Athletics Championships after finishing 7th in Heat 2.
Although they ran a season-best of 3:14:38, it however failed to claim even one of the non-automatic qualification spots.
Nwachukwu ran an impressive lead leg(1st leg) from the 9th lane, but when Okon took over Nigeria fell back. Uko who ran anchor(4th leg) couldn’t improve on the position Nathaniel was on when he handed her the baton.
Nigeria finished 12th on the log (out of 16) in the overall ranking.
