Perennial International Track star for Nigeria; Gloria Asumnu who is based and trains out of Houston Texas, USA took to the track on Saturday January 30th in the 60 meters dash for women.
Taking on the likes of Michelle Lee Ahye of Trinidad and Tobago Erica Alexander and Bianca Knight of the USA she had her work cut out for her as she easily qualified in her semi-final event into the finals. During her warm up for the finals the star athlete was very focused as she was not only getting ready for her final showdown for her event but seemingly the rest of the year which will culminates with the Rio Olympics in Brazil this summer.

Asumnu has been a very bright spot for Nigerian athletics in the last few years behind Blessing Okagbare and the two make up Nigeria’s mainstay for success in the relays in International circles.
Asumnu would eventually finish with a time of 7.47seconds a decent time for the start of her indoor campaign for 2016.
