At the First Track meet in Ghana since March last year due to Covid, God’s name was praised on Saturday..
After following all Covid – 19 protocols at the Cape Coast sports stadium and running into a strong headwind that affected all the times considerably, the best of the nation in the 100 and 200 meters met for a fierce showdown, beginning their journey into trying to get a ticket to represent Ghana at the Tokyo Olympic Games this July.
When it was all said and done, the 2019 African Games Bronze medalist in the 400 meters, Grace Obuor of the GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human Athletics Club, beat all the nation’s sprinters in the 100 and 200 meters, a sprints double, to take the lead as Ghana’s Fastest Woman so far this year.
In the Men’s division, it was another sprints double win for Sarfo Ansah in the 100 and 200 meters also from the GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human Athletics Club.
The Under 18 boys was won by an amazing new talent from Adisadel College, Razak and the Under 18 Girls, by Dufie from the Ashanti region.
Accra is the next meet on April 10th, 2021. All the best sprinters in the capital must come on board to see who runs fastest to represent Ghana at Tokyo 2020.
