BIG 12 INDOOR ✅
BIG 12 OUTDOOR✅
Texas Tech Freshman has ticked both boxes this season with a win and will head into the Nationals as one of the favourites.
Temitope Adeshina recorded an outdoor Season Best of 1.90m in the high jump final to secure her second conference title in Waco at Baylor University.
Been a weather delay trip down in Waco for the past two days where the Big 12 Conference Championship is being held. Good to say, not yet today as the finals kick off already with the men's high jump.
We are thrilled that the medal rush is about to begin! How do you feel at your side?
We are feeling good like our boy, Erhire on his way to a conference title.
THREE-PEAT FOR ZAZA🎖️🎖️🎖️
Do you know Chinecherem Prosper Nanmdi just won his third Big 12 Conference title? Going hard on his last throw to secure a convincing victory with 80.02m. He has never lost a conference title in the Javelin since he started competing for Baylor.
The Baylor Junior now ranks 2nd nationally heading to the regionals.

FA x CHARRI🔥
Let's throw it back to one of the most Iconic displays at the recently concluded African Games in Ghana where @bigman_with_bigdreams replicated @itsshacarri signature she made at the 2023 World Championships in Budapest, specifically during the 100m heats.
Talk about the influence of one of the greatest on the younger athletes. It was Fakarri's moment during the men's 4x100m heats when Fakorede Adekalu anchored it home for Nigeria in a Sha'carri Richardson's style.
