The three-time Nigerian national champion, who holds a personal best and national record of 1.97m, remains unbeaten this season and is in pursuit of her first outdoor title.

Following her breakthrough in 2024, when she set national records, she went on to win her first NCAA title in 2025. She also featured at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where she finished outside the podium places.

She is the second Nigerian to compete in the women’s high jump at the Olympics after Doreen Amata, who represented the country at the 2008 and 2016 Games.

Adeshina won her first NCAA title in March 2025, clearing 1.94m at the NCAA Indoor Championships held at the Virginia Beach Sports Center in Virginia, USA, becoming the first Nigerian to win an NCAA high jump title.
