Over 150 schools battled for honours at the second leg of Season 2 of MTN CHAMPS, which in a groundbreaking move, took place at two different locations concurrently; the University of Ibadan Sports Complex and Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan from 5th to 8th April 2024.

While they swept all the sprints, Goodnews Saturday proved to be very instrumental to the Anglican Comprehensive High team, scoring big hits by winning the Girls 100m and 200m double on the final day of competition. Eniola Fasasi led a 1-2 finish with Abigael Ogunbowale over 400m and they all combined to bring home GOLD in the 4x100m final.

On the Boys’ side, United Secondary Agugu topped the final standings, scoring 26 points and narrowly beating Anwar-Ul-Islam to the team title as the latter also returned the same number of points. The tie-breaker was the number of participants that represented the former.
