Athletics: Hamajam, others storm Calabar
Jul 3rd 2013, 23:02, by YEMI OLUS

Triple-gold winner at last month's national athletics trials, Soudi Hamajam, is one of the top athletes expected at the third edition of the South South Track and Field Championships which starts today at the UJ Esuene Stadium in Calabar, Cross River State.

Hamajam, who was unarguably the best male athlete at the trials, picked gold in the 800m, 1,500m and 3,000m steeplechase events while guartermiler and Cross River State athlete, Patience Okon, who won the 400m silver behind USA-based Regina George at the trials, would also feature in the competition.

The championships organised by Cross River State and supported by the Niger Delta Development Corporation (NDDC) will end on Saturday.

Commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mr. Patrick Ugbe, said in Calabar yesterday that the championships was open to all the six states in the South South of Nigeria. "It will be for all the states in our region at the primary and secondary school levels while the elite leg is open to all elite athletes in Nigeria," Ugbe explained.

"We are glad that the NDDC has supported our desire to develop sports in the state, the South South region and the country while positively engaging our teeming youths. "This effort is also in furtherance of the development of athletes as part of the sports development programme initiated by Governor Liyel Imoke."
