Ghana's Para Athlete Gilbert Ampiah from St. Augustine’s College, has clinched a bronze medal in the High Jump T44 category at the prestigious Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan International Para Athletics Meeting in Marrakech, Morocco.
With an impressive jump of 1.73 meters, the 16-year-old secured his first international medal—a remarkable testament to his dedication, hard work, and perseverance.
Some of Gilbert's notable achievements include 1.60m height cleared at Ekumfi Atwa in 2023, defeating able-bodied athletes as well as a new personal best of 1.82m at St. Augustine's inter-house competition.
This achievement not only highlights Gilbert’s incredible potential but also underscores Ghana’s growing presence in the international para-athletics scene.
The Marrakech competition also serves as a qualifier for the upcoming Commonwealth and Paralympic Games, providing Gilbert with a broader platform to showcase his ever-rising talent.
