Sean Safo-Antwi sets new PB in 100m dash at NEB Track Open
Ghanaian national sprinter Sean Safo-Antwi has clocked 10.12 seconds to set a new Personal Best (PB) in the 100 metres dash at the NEB Track Open in Stratford on Sunday, 14th August 2022.
Sean after a very disappointing Commonwealth Games campaign did not rest but continued to improve upon his timing in the 100m dash. The Ghana 4Ć100m relay team was disqualified after qualifying to the final due to a technical rule. The quartet was tipped for a medal in the relays but everything was overturned at the 11th hour.
According to him, he has been waiting for this day for almost eight years down the line. “8 years down the line I can finally post and say personal best. Last time I ran a PB was in 2014”, he disclosed.
