Ghana has submitted four athletes for this year's African Senior Athletics Championships to be staged in Mauritius from 8-12 June 2022.

200m record holder, Joseph Paul Amoah, will lead the contingent which has sprinter Sean Safo-Antwi (100m), Rose Yeboah (High Jump), and Duncan Agyemang (400m) to the championship.

Benjamin Azamati, who has had incredible times this year, including 9.90s and 9.86s wind assisted race will not be at the competition after he committed to the NCAA D2 Championships slated for the same weekend.

Azamati absence will be a big miss for Ghana in this championship but Ghana Athletics consider the group good enough to win medals.

Leo Myles-Mills, a former national athlete is the coach of the team.

Joe Paul, who holds Ghana’s second fastest 100m time 9.94s, will compete in the 200m in Mauritius, an event where he currently holds the National Record (20.08s).

Paul has not had a good season yet in the 200m as he made 20.78s this year during a meet in Santo Damigo.

Safo-Antwi opened his outdoor season on 1st May, 2022 with a 10.29s run at the Be Fit Today Outdoor Series in London.

He last competed on 28th May 2022 at the B&S Kurpfalz Gala in Germany where he clocked 10.28s.

Duncan Agyemang, formerly of UCC, has a season best of 45.80s in the 400m, which he clocked at an NCAA D2 competition on 28th May 2022.

University of Cape Coast's Rose Yeboah who won gold in the women’s high jump at the 2019 African Games in Rabat and currently holds the second highest height in Ghana’s Women’s High Jump (1.84m) will be competing in the championship.

Ms Yeboah won gold at her last competition (1.80m) at the GAA’s National Circuit in April this year.

Jumpers Abigail Kwarteng (High Jump) and Deborah Acquah (Long Jump) who both set national records this year will miss the African Championships as a result of the NCAAs.

The athletes started arriving in Mauritius on Monday, and will be looking to improve on their outing at the last CAA Senior Championships in Asaba in 2018, where the country sent four athletes and won two medals, both by Janet Amponsah (silver in 100m and bronze in 200m).
