High jumper Omamuyovwi Erhire made a memorable debut for Texas Tech at the Sports Performance Center in Lubbock, Texas where he cleared 2.23 meters in the men’s high jump to equal his lifetime best in the event.
The mark is joint first in Africa with Kudakwashe Chadenga of Zimbabwe who also cleared the same height at the same meet and at the same centre.
The mark moves places him at 5th on the school’s all-time list while he finished ahead of Mayson Conner and Kudakwashe Chadenga, second and third on countback.
