The two footballers of the college who are also seen very well in athletics
did show to all their talent today at the Len Clay sports stadium.
The two heroes of Prempeh College came unto the field today to win laurels for the
college in the 110m hurdles.
As was expected, the whole place went
wild. Ahmed is known by all the athletes from the various
schools. While the ladies were screaming his name, the few Prempeh guys who
went there were also praising Collins so as to give both of them the
inspiration to run. Though the race was very tough, Collins came out first
followed closely by Ahmed. The judges could not tell who actually came first as they
finished on the line at the same time. Nevertheless, the 9 points awarded
was in the name of the college.
Prempeh's quartet for the 4 x 400m race, however, could not pick the maximum
points at stake as they came second while Kumasi Anglican took the first
position. The contest that has seen everyone yelling and which of course is
the last for the day, the 4 x 100m, featured a Prempeh team spearheaded by Eric
Goloe, the fastest youth runner in Ghana. Our quartet took the first position.
Some old boys were present today to cheer the boys up. Atiso Amoroso who completed
school last year was there and a host of Amanfoo who work at the Obuasi
Goldfields were also present.
In the end, Prempeh came first with a maximum of 175 points while the second
school, Tepa Secondary had 95 points with Kumasi Anglican taking up the third
place with 65 points. The difference between the score of Prempeh and that of
the 1st runner up tells how equipped our boys are.
