Azeezat Muhammed-Raji is a passionate and goal-driven young athlete who is already making a name for herself. The young athlete who only started running in 2022, would go out of her way to train and attend competitions, despite push backs from her parents. Prior to competing at #MTNChamps Ibadan Season 1, she had won the title of the fastest school girl in Oyo state.
Coming to compete at MTN CHAMPS Ibadan, and representing Olivet Baptist, Azeezat was determined to not drop the ball. She participated in the Youth Girls’ 100m and 200m events, winning her 100m heat and semifinal race, and eventually settling for 4th in the final. She enjoyed a better performance in the 200m where she claimed a Silver medal.
Her performance at the Ibadan leg earned her a chance to replicate similar achievements at the Grand Final in Abuja.
Azeezat clocked the fastest time in her heat and semifinal rounds of the Youth Girls’ 200m event at the Grand Final, running a personal best of 25.89s in the former. She eventually settled for 5th in the final.
Her hard work and big performance in the third and final leg of MTN CHAMPS Season 1 has earned her a GOLDEN TICKET to join #TeamMTN at the Making of Champions Athletics Academy.
