She followed it up with another national record in the 100m freestyle with 58.98 seconds, a performance that also earned her the Best Performance - Female Senior award based on World Aquatics Points.
Her strong form continued at the 2025 Africa Aquatics Zone 2 Championships in Accra, where she finished as the second-best female swimmer overall, amassing five medals including three gold.
"I am super honoured and proud to be a girl in Aquatic sports,” Joselle told JoySports.
