Hundred to compete for IAAF ticket
Over Hundred home-based Ghanaian athletes will, this weekend, be battling qualification for this year’s IAAF World Championship to be held in London.
These Athletes will all assemble at the Baba Yara Sports stadium from the 10 regions culled from security services, Ghana Education Service and some tertiary institutions.
The competition is the Ghana Athletics Association’s third leg of five National Athletics Circuit Championship outings for home-based potentials.
The GAA will also use the event to hunt for athletes into the national athletics team as well as get a team for the Youth Championship in Kenya.
Meanwhile, reigning circuit 100m champion Shadrack Opoku Agyemang is hoping to use the competition to reduce his personal best and meet the qualification standard for the world Championship.
“This is the opportunity for locally based athletes to make it to the various international competitions and I’m ready to make use of the opportunity. Am hoping to use to reduce my personal best and make the qualification standard for the world championship,” he told Starr Sports.
