After breaking Shaunae Miller-Uibo’s 2018 record of 16.23 seconds, the 22-year-old became the first woman to run the 150 meters in under 16 seconds.
Ofili remarked, “The Lord is good and is marvellous in my sight” in response to her triumph in the post-race interview. Every passing second astounds me. I have faith in my coach and his program, and I know that when the time is right, the Lord will do it because I know I work hard.
Ofili ran the 200-meter dash in 22.36 seconds in 2023 at the Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, Arkansas, according to the furucinovel. This was the best time ever recorded by an African. A star in the world of athletics, she has found her new footing.
