Nigeria’s rising track star, Prosper Ekporere, has laid down a big marker early in the season.
Just a week after opening his campaign with a time of 14.47s in Texas, Ekporere delivered a stunning performance at the Battle at the Beach meet, winning the men’s 110m hurdles with a blistering time of 13.61s (+3.4 m/s wind).

The time not only marked a college personal best for the Nigerian athlete, but also propelled him to the top of the national rankings in the event.
The performance is a significant improvement and a clear statement of intent from the young hurdler, who has shown rapid progress in form and confidence.
Despite the strong tailwind, Ekporere’s execution and pace over the hurdles were impressive, underlining his potential as one of Nigeria’s top sprint hurdlers this season.
With the 2025 athletics calendar in full swing, and key events like the African Games and World Championships qualifiers on the horizon, Ekporere’s rise comes at a perfect time.
