Benjamin Azamati run the quickest time amongst Ghana’s track and field athletes as they pushed start their 2023 outdoor season.

Botsio’s time of 10.06s was a jump from his Texas Relays best 10.21s, set only a week ago from the event, while Manu clocked 10.08s.

Botsio, still in his freshman year at West Texas, was named an All-American in March and after his 10.06s run, was named as a national athlete of the week.
