“Welcome to the Trojan Family, Justina Eyakpobeyan,” the school posted via X.
“The Paris Olympian has picked up gold medals at the Senior African Games, Senior African Championships, Commonwealth Youth Games, and African U-18 Championships.”
Both athletes were part of Nigeria’s women’s 4x100m relay team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
While Ojajide didn’t get a competitive feel of the track inside the Stade de France at the Olympics, Eyakpobeyan ran the first leg during the heats, but the quartet failed to reach the final despite running a season’s best time of 42.70s.
Olajide and Eyakpobeyan were integral to the women’s 4x100m in the 2024 season, winning gold at the Africa Games and the African Championships, as well as qualifying for the Olympics.
