At the GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human athletics event held last Saturday at Cape Coast for the Central, Western, Greater Accra and Bono regions, the athletes defied the morning rains to run for honours.

African Games sensation Mary ‘Jetta’ Boakye, pre-event favourite in the seniors women’s race, was beaten to second place by Central Region’s latest sensation Naseera Quansah from Sammo Senior High School in a legal fast time of 11.56 seconds.

The men’s seniors event saw Marizuk Shaibu finishing first in 10.53, while Joseph Andoh followed in second place in 10.58.

Michael Cudjoe picked the third prize after recording 10.65.

Founder of the Ghana’s Fastest Human Race project, Reks Brobby, commended the athletes highly for turning up in their numbers.
