Ghanaian sprinter Gemma Acheampong is through to the final of the women’s 100m after placing second in a time of 11.60s in semi final 1 at the ongoing 20th African Senior Championships at the Kings Park Athletics Stadium in Durban-South Africa on Wednesday, 22nd June.
Gemma punched her ticket for the final after sealing one of the automatic places in the heat, behind Cote D’Ivoire’s Marie Ta Lou who crossed the finish line in 11.20s.
The U.S. based athlete had earlier won Heat 1 of the 100m in 11.84s to progress to the semis.
She has thus qualified for the final of the women’s 100m for a second consecutive time, having similarly qualified for the final at the 2014 CAA Championships where she placed 7th.
