Ihemeje who placed fifth in the men's triple jump at the World Athletics Championships in July and was 12th in the Tokyo olympics, will not be returning to Oregon. Not too surprising given his jump coach, former head coach Robert Johnson, was not coming back either, and Ihemeje is clearly ready for a pro career. Still he was a lot of fun to watch competing for Oregon... a class act and his farewell video reflects that.
