Oladipo Represents Vanderbilt Abroad

Takes shot put dominance home to London, finishes third

MANCHESTER, England – Divine Oladipo‘s journey to nationals led her back home to compete in the 2022 UK Athletics Championships Sunday morning.

The recent Vanderbilt track and field graduate represented the Commodores in the shot put during the British Athletics’ competition. Oladipo opened with a mark of 16.08 meters in third place. Her second attempt improved to 16.95 meters as she continued to defend her positioning. She reached 17.20 meters, her best mark, on her fourth throw.

In her lone season as a Commodore, Oladipo reset the program record for the indoor and outdoor shot put as well as the all-time mark in the discus. She is also a three-time All-American and All-SEC selection in both seasons.
