It’s so hard to choose btw her and Ofili at this point. 300m: Gabby 35.81 Vs Ofili 35.99 100m: Gabby 10.88w Vs Ofili 10.85w Both speed and endurance queens. They’re gonna run the legs out of eachother in the 200m as the season progresses tbh. https://t.co/f9Zray3ZXL [https://t.co/f9Zray3ZXL] — Love Jacob (@jay_sylda) March 30, 2024 [https://twitter.com/jay_sylda/status/1774188861091959166?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw]
