A level 300 student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Solomon Baba Akumba has emerged the winner of the 2018/19 Malta Guinness Maltavator Challenge, Season 2 in Accra.
The winner braved the temperatures and a field of 40 athletes to complete three rounds of a challenging obstacle course en route to claiming a GH?5000 cash prize and the opportunity to represent Ghana at the Pan-African Maltavator Championship slated for February 24 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
He was presented with a dummy cheque and said he was delighted with his win and looking forward to conquering Africa.
He said “I won’t be complacent in my training as I prepare for the contest in South Africa.”
The winner will be joined by five others to compete in Johannesburg including Samuel Osei Mensah and Emmanuel Gyeta who completed the course in second and third place respectively. The pair received GH?3000 and GH?2000 for their performances.
The top six was completed by Daniel Abotsi, Richard Kuevorve and Precious Appiah who received GH?1000 each.
