On the women’s side, Debbie Ajagbe highlighted the weekend by finishing first in the hammer throw with a 57.78m hurl. The women’s 4 x 100m team – consisting of Jacious Spears, Alfreda Steele, Mercy Ntia-Obong and Blanca Hervas – took their race in 44.13, and Moriah Oliviera finished third in the 400m with a time of 52.36.

In the discus, Williams and Hannah Hall both came in third, throwing 53.69m in the men’s event and 52.35m in the women’s, respectively.
