Nigerian hurdler Janet Deleme Sunday has continued her impressive rise on the track, delivering a strong performance in the women’s 100m hurdles at the AFN Golden League.
The talented athlete, who represents Arenas Academy, produced a standout run to clock a new personal best of 13.67 seconds, marking a promising start to the new athletics season.
Sunday had already shown flashes of brilliance last year, and her latest performance suggests she has carried that momentum into the current campaign.
The personal best time highlights her steady progress and the effectiveness of the work being done behind the scenes with her coaching team.
Competing against a competitive field, the Nigerian hurdler demonstrated improved rhythm, speed, and technical control over the barriers—key elements that contributed to her breakthrough performance.
The AFN Golden League has increasingly become an important platform for emerging Nigerian athletes to test their form and gain competitive exposure, and Sunday’s performance stands out as one of the early highlights of the event.
For the Arenas Academy athlete, the result is more than just a personal milestone. It signals that she is building strong form ahead of a demanding outdoor season that will feature several high-level competitions both locally and internationally.
Early-season performances often provide a strong indication of what to expect in the months ahead, and Sunday’s 13.67-second run suggests she could be on course for further improvements as the year progresses.
With confidence growing and momentum already on her side, the young hurdler is quickly establishing herself as one of the athletes to watch in Nigerian athletics this season.
If her current trajectory continues, Janet Deleme Sunday could emerge as one of the breakout performers in the women’s hurdles as the outdoor campaign unfolds.
