Competing in Indianapolis, Caleb looked in control as he stormed through his race, reinforcing his status as the man to beat in tomorrow’s showdown.

With the fastest qualifying time, Caleb heads into the final as the top favourite for the title, but with Olatunde also in fine form, Nigeria’s presence in the sprint event promises to be exciting. The final is set to be a thrilling contest as both sprinters aim to make history on the NCAA stage.
