2015 Milo Marathon: David Otoo wins U-15 category

A student of Breman Junior High School came first in the Under-15 category of the 2015 Accra Milo Marathon on Founder’s Day, Monday.

David Otoo clocked 58 minutes and 29 seconds in the 15-kilometre race for juniors from the Azumah Nelson (Kaneshie) Sports Complex to breast the tape at the Dansoman Carl Reindoff Park.

Nafisatu Sumanu from Dwayaw Nkwanta placed 17th, but was the first female to complete the race and will earn Ghc5000 for her feat.

Speaking to Starr Sports’ Tony Bebli at the finishing point, Otoo said: “I feel fantastic and good for coming first. I saw it coming.”

“It was quite easy for me… I really want to be an athlete and to become like Usain Bolt.”

Otoo is already looking forward to compete in the adult category in the 29th edition next year.

Otoo will take home GHc5,000.00 in cash as the winner of the junior category while the first runner-up takes home GHc2,000.00 with the second runner-up bagging GHc1,000.00.
