Abigail Abugire shatters Ghana’s 1500m record at Bryan clay invitational 


Ghanaian middle-distance runner, Abigail Abugire has etched her name into the history books after setting a new national record in the women’s 1500 metres.

The former Aduman Senior High School runner clocked an impressive time of 4:13.03 at the Bryan Clay Invitational over the weekend, breaking the previous record of 4:17.75 set by Agnes Abu in 2017.

Abugire, who now competes for West Texas A&M University, delivered a remarkable performance that underscores her rapid rise on the international stage.

Just a day before her record-breaking feat, the young athlete dominated the women’s 800 metres, running from start to finish to secure victory in a stunning time of 2:01.79.

The performance ranks as the second-fastest ever recorded in NCAA Division II history.
