Ghana’s top sprinter, Joseph Amoah will be in the blocks at the Aliann Pompey Invitational that is set for Saturday at the National Track and Field Centre, Leonora.

Amoah is having an outstanding 2019 season with a season’s best time at the 100 metres with a time of 10.01s that he ran on June 5th in Texas.

In addition, June 5th also produced another season’s best for Amoah, this time at the 200m with a time of 20.08s.

Guyana’s national records in the men’s 100 is 10.12s (Adam Harris) and for the 200m is 20.14s (James Wren-Gilkes). 

With just about four days to go, some of the Guyanese stars will have some time to get in better form to face the Ghanaian speedster which should make for an interesting 100m with Emanuel Archibald and Winston George recently running 10.26s and 10.36s respectively at the National Senior Championships on Saturday.
