Athletes recorded impressive times at the first competition for this year’s GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human competition at the Alui Mahama Stadium, Tamale, on Saturday.
It was also characterised by a massive turnout by the youth of the North, who came to showcase their talent in running the sprint (100 meters) race.
It was Salifu Gafaru, who won the over 18 years event with a time of 10.78, while Alhassan Abdulai won the boys U-18.
The President of the Ghana Athletics Association (GAA), Afelibeik Ababu and Sir Reks Brobby, founder of Ghana’s Fastest Human, commended the young athletes for turning up in their numbers and making the meet very successful.
