She then claimed gold in the event at the 2015 African Junior Athletics Championships in Addis Ababa.

Also in 2015, while making her All-Africa Games debut as an eighteen-year-old, she won the gold medal in the 100 m hurdles.

2016

In 2016, as a freshman in the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP), Amusan became the second athlete for the university to be named C-USA Female Track Athlete of the Year since UTEP joined C-USA.
