The Nigeria relay team in the men’s 4x100m, 4x400m and women’s 4X400m have now moved focus on getting the qualification ticket in Lagos.
This happened after their failure to meet the required standard of the World Athletics.
Sequel to this, the Athletics body in Nigeria, is staging the Budapest qualifying series at the Yaba Technical College on July 14 in Lagos.
The Athletics Federation of Nigeria’s (AFN) trip to the African Region 2 relay events in Lome, Togo, did not produce the needed results at the weekend.
Only two of the teams, the women’s 4x100m and the mixed relay sides qualified for the championships.
The women’s 4x400m team ran 3.29.09 seconds, and the Men’s 4x400m team finished in 3.02.91 seconds, missing qualification time by microseconds.
