Helena Ikpotokin

Helena Ikpotokin is a third-year science student from Dublin, Ireland. She shone at the Atlantic University Sport (AUS) Championships in Saint John, New Brunswick, this past weekend, bringing home two medals. The sprinter kicked off her impressive performance on February 21 with a victory in the women's 300m, securing gold with a time of 39.83 seconds. The following day, she sprinted to a silver medal in the women's 60m dash, clocking in at a blazing 7.90 seconds.

 

"Helena showed that she's a big-time performer who thrives in pressure situations. She has the work ethic and mindset that a champion needs, and she is just scratching the surface of what she's capable of," said associate head coach Damon MacDonald.
