Divine Oduduru has officially become the 2nd fastest African man on the track, trailing behind Nigerian legend, Olusoji Fasuba.
He attained this feat at the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships on Friday night.
Oduduru easily won the 100 meters in 9.86 seconds and that is the fastest ever by an African since Fasuba ran a slightly faster time of 9.85 seconds 13 years ago in Doha.
About 45 minutes after his heroics in the 100m, Oduduru won the 200 meters in 19.73 seconds, both times wind-legal.
Though Oduduru was the Nigeria record-holder in the 200m before Friday’s race, he has lowered the record again with his winning time which is third fastest in the world this year.
