Taiwo powered to a new personal best of 53.70s, finishing 2nd in her heat, narrowly behind compatriot Blessing Akintoye in an all-Nigerian battle on the track.
The time represents a massive leap forward for the Sun Devils athlete, slashing more than a second off her previous personal best of 55.14s, which she set during her freshman season last February.
Achieving such a significant improvement at this early stage of the indoor campaign underlines Taiwo’s growing confidence, strength, and technical progress over the one-lap distance.
Her performance at the Corky Classic places her firmly among the athletes to watch as the collegiate indoor season gathers momentum.
Known for her versatility across both the 400m and 400m hurdles, Taiwo’s continued development suggests even faster times are within reach as the season progresses.
With momentum building and consistency on her side, the Nigerian talent appears well poised for bigger breakthroughs in the weeks ahead.
