-

It will be nostalgic for athletes under SAMKAY Athletics Club when they grace the tartan track in various track and field events at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium Benin City,the capital of Edo State .

Perfect Faye, Gift Allison, Mekioniso Nathan, Ebikiemo Ikadoi, Samson Tebowei, Perezide Sigah, Faith Ezechukwu and Tokonii Itu all had their first championship experience on the track at the famous Ogbemudia Stadium.

They were thrown into the  fray at the Olympic trials in June 2024, to compete with elite athletes including Tima Godbless, Favour Ashe and Victory Godah amongst others.

However, two years after, with lots of championship experience, they are back in Benin City with team Bayelsa, not just to participate, but as some of the favourite to win laurels at the 2nd edition of the Niger Delta Games.

Perfect will be aiming to continue his exploits at the last edition of National Youth Games in Asaba, Delta State where he won both Gold and Silver in the one hundred and two hundred meters events respectively.

Mekioniso and Ebikiemo will be representing Bayelsa at the long event, while Perezide and Gift who won silver medals in the mixed and female relays will participate at the the 100 and 200 meters event.

Also, National Cadet champion in 100 and 200metres at the MTN Champs, Ebimoboere Christopher who was part of the silver winning team at the Youth Games in Asaba will also be hoping to get her chance.
