The Delta State born athlete has never competed in Rome meeting.

She continued her slow start to the 2016 season, running an uninspiring 11.16 seconds in the 100m at the NIKE-sponsored Prefontaine Classic IAAF Diamond League meeting in Eugene, Oregon, USA over the weekend.

This is Okagbare's worst 100m time at the meeting since she ran 11.08 seconds to place seventh in 2011.

She reached a season’s best of 6.73m in the long jump.

Before that, Okagbare ran a new 11.11 seconds personal season's best to come second at the historic IAAF Diamond League meeting in Rabat, Morocco.

In the long jump Okagbare improved by several centimetres from the rather mediocre 6.21m she jumped at the Drake Relays in April to 6.73m which has placed her 15th on the IAAF top list for 2016. That was her first jump at the meeting since she started participating in 2010 and curiously, the Nigerian is yet to win in Eugene.
