National 100m record-holder, Benjamin Azamati has signaled at discontent, indicating that he wants to break and set more records for himself.
In what has been a historic breakout season for the Ghanaian sprinter, Azamati has already written his name in the history of Ghana athletics by shattering a 22-year national record.
Earlier this year, Azamati run a time of 9.97 to break Leo Myles Mills' time of 9.98. Besides tearing down Myles Mills' time, the West Texas A&M sprinter run the five-fastest times in NCAA DII history.
He also became NCAADII's first athlete to run under 10 seconds and break Darell Green’s 10.08 seconds record set in 1983.
Year-long the sprinter was also prominent in the 200m event as he now wields the record for the top three best times in the 200m dash. He also features four times in the top 10 best times of the 200m category.
The 23-year old, who holds further records to his name, is currently back in Ghana for the 'Junior Olympics' organized by the Legon Creatives Athletics Club.
He informs JoySports that he is yearning to do some more.
"I feel it's been really a good season for me. I know for sure it has not been my best season yet and I know there's more to come and all. But it has been a season of records. It got to a time every time I run, it has to be a record and all that.
"I'm proud of it and I want to move on with the same standards for myself. Every time I run, I want records to be broken. There's Commonwealth games coming up, there's World Championship coming up [and] I'm training and practising towards all those games. I just don't want to go there to go represent. This time I want to go there, go get something - go get laurels."
