Current Ashanti’s finest athlete, Edwin Gadayi, produced stellar performance when he recorded an impressive time of 9.84 seconds in the Ashanti-BA GNPC Ghana’s Fastest meet at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in Kumasi over the weekend.
Gadayi, who has run the fastest time in 200 meters, confirmed his fine form at the Paa Joe Stadium over the weekend when he emerged the overall winner.
The female category saw Janet Mensah dominating the 100 meters event.
Founder of the GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human project, Reks Brobby, lauded the efforts of the athletes saying, “I feel fulfilled, I am excited, the level of competition was high, and I am sure it will be maintained and can’t wait for the final later in the year.
“Indeed, I can now say that my aim of reviving athletics in schools have been achieved to a large extent, more new personal and national best times have been recorded.”
All the winners went home with certificates and special prizes from sponsors like GNPC, Adiddas, Indomie, among others.
