Peters coasted home in 11.58 seconds to win the gold for Delta State with the host state, Edo taking the silver and bronze medal through Praise Tejiri (11.76 seconds) and Imoisemeh Victory (11.78 seconds) respectively.
Speaking with NDG media after the race, the athlete who now has a new Personal Best (PB) after erasing her previous PB of 11.67 seconds said she never expected to run so fast.
“I’ve been praying for this moment. It’s really a great moment,” she said.
“I will say I was not expecting it, actually. But it came and I’m very excited because for me to be competing for my state is a big one for me. I just give all the glory to God.
“I also want to thank my coach, coach Emily Osakwe, for believing in me. Emerging as the best is a great opportunity for me and I am going to build on that for the future.”
