Ghanaian sensational long-distance athlete Lariba Sakat Juliana has won the maiden edition of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) Cross Country Championship 2022.

The race started at exactly 7:50 am and the race was very competitive. The surprise name in the starting lists was the 2019 African Games Bronze Medallist Grace Obour who was in battle with the best when it comes to distance events in Ghana.

The route was very good and perfect for a cross country race but the weather was a little hazy and dry. She finished her 2020 /2021 season unbeaten and it still continues.

Lariba started the race very well and during the first half of the race, she had the commanding lead. Sarah Koomson of the Ghana Prisons Service was very strong in the first half unfortunately she faded out and couldn’t finish the race.
