Ghanaian sprinter, Joseph Andoh Kwofie shattered long-standing records in both the 100-metre and 200-metre races at the recent Central Regional Zone 3 Inter Colleges Games, held in Cape Coast.
Despite being a first-year student at Mfantsipim Senior High School in Ghana, the budding athlete left a lasting impact by obliterating records that had remained unbroken for 30 years.
Kwofie delivered an astonishing performance, clocking an impressive time of 10.4 seconds in the 100m race and 20.8 seconds in the 200m race, per Asante Forkuo.
These remarkable achievements set the stage for what promises to be an exciting and promising professional career.
Videos of the race have gone viral on social media, highlighting Kwofie effortlessly overtaking his competitors before disappearing out of sight, establishing new records in the process.
