Olympian, world champion and current Baylor Bear, freshman sprinter Imaobong Uko has done it all and just turned 18 on Sunday. Uko was called upon to compete for Nigeria in the mixed 4×400-meter in the delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which she followed with a win in the World Athletics Under-20 Championships in September.
Despite her squad not qualifying for the finals in her event, they managed to set a new African record in the event. Uko said the experience helped her develop as a runner and a person.
