Fasuba's daughter breaks 49-year 100m record - Punch
Annabelle, the daughter of former Nigerian sprinter Olusoji Fasuba, has achieved another feat in the UK, breaking the City of Plymouth’s 48-year 100m record on her first outdoor outing in 2025 at their Spring Warm-up Meeting at Brickfields, Devonport, Plymouth, on Sunday, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Fasuba clocked a stunning time of 11.91s to smash the record which has stood since 1976 which also puts her in the UK’s overall female top 10 in the early rankings for this year and puts her 14th on the U-15 girls’ all-time list above the likes of current Great Britain stars Dina Asher-Smith and Amy Hunt.
The previous record was set by Jill Davies in 1976.
The 13-year-old also broke her own U-15 City of Plymouth record in the process.
According to Plymouth Sports Gazette, just 20 female athletes in British history have run under 12 seconds at the U-15 level.
Fasuba, who won the English 60m indoor title earlier this year, also tried her hand at the 300m on Sunday at Brickfields, where she clocked an impressive time of 40.88, which broke another City of Plymouth record.
