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

His time of 9.99s at the Jo Meaker Classic and Multi means four Ghanaian athletes are now running under 10.10s in the 100m event already.

There was a clean sweep for Ghana in the 100m finals at the Jo Meaker Classic and Multi, as Isaac Botsio and Joseph Manu of West Texas A&M University, finished in second and third respectively.

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.
