As she climbs the ranks in NCAA competition, Dogoyaro is not just making waves for Nevada, but also representing Nigeria with pride on the international stage.
Track and field enthusiasts and coaches alike will now be keeping a close eye on the talented jumper as she aims to rewrite the record books in the coming meets.
