The relays are like a tradition to Nigerian athletics, but in recent times Nigerian athletes have struggled at world meets including the recent World Indoors where the 4x400m teams failed to make their presence felt.
However, according to AFN technical director, Omatseye Nesiama, the federation is working to reverse this trend.
“We are working on opening a small camp for our relay teams. This is to put them in a good shape for the world relays. We are aiming to do well in three events, the 4×100, 4×200 and 4x400m.
“The teams that represented us at the last World Indoor will form the nucleus of our team. The camp will have foreign and home based athletes,” said Navy Commodore Nesiama.
At the indoors meet the Nigerian men 4x400m team set a African indoor record of 3.07.95, but they narrowly missed the final where the US team set a new world record of 3.03. 13. It was an indication that there was still a lot of work to be done by the Nigerian quarter-milers.
The women running without the strongest leg, Regina George forced their way into the women 4x400m final, but their 3.31.59 put them in the sixth position in the race won by USA with 3.24.83 a world leading time in the event.
The IAAF World Relays will have more than just the 4x100m and 4x400m, though. Also on the programme will be the 4x200m, 4x800m and 4x1500m.
