Ghana Athletics will enlist the country’s best young athletes to participate in major competitions on the continent, before the National Championship in August.
In August, both senior and junior athletes will compete at the National Championships, an event that will serve as the national trials for the World Championships for competitions that have more than three athletes making the qualifying mark.
Speaking at last week’s Accra Open event, president of the governing body for athletics in the country, Bawa Fuseini, said, “We want to give the juniors more competition for the African Junior Competition in July, Nigeria. This is the final trial, so after this, we will select a team to represent Ghana at Abeokuta, Nigeria.”
Ghana and other countries in West Africa could have participated in the Regional Junior Championships, but the event was postponed indefinitely after organisers failed to secure funding for the event.
“So right from Nigeria, we will come back to do the West African Junior Championship in Accra. We were supposed to do it before the African Junior Championship, but because of time factor, we could not get enough funds for the West African Junior Championship,” Fuseini confirmed.
“So, we will do the West African Championship and come back to Ghana to do the West African Championship, and then we do our National Championship in August.”
