Nigeria's best 400m and 400mH talents Samuel Ogazi and Ezekiel Nathaniel ended their NCAA campaigns this season with top 3 finishes.
University of Alabama freshman Samuel Ogazi is steadily climbing the ladder to be a world-beater in a few years after clocking another age-18 World Best in the 400m final at the NCAA Championships.
Ogazi made pre-race favourite Christopher Morales Williams dig deep in the last 30m as the Canadian rising star edged him at the finish line in 44.47s.

The talented Nigerian clocked a new lifetime and age-18 world best of 44.52s, while University of Florida's JeVaughn Powell was third in 44.54s.
By doing this, Ogazi has lowered his best every time he's competed in the past month, and he'll be hoping he can take the same form to the Nigerian Olympic trials and Paris Games, where he'll be gunning to at least make the final.
