Young female sprint sensation, Kate Agyemang, at the Sekondi Sports stadium last Saturday, beat a quality field in the 200m final, clinching first place in a time of 24.04s ahead of Happy Abruyah, who came second in 24.12s and Josephine Anokye who took third place in 24.17s.
Agnes Abrokwah crossed the finish line in 24.33s while Cecilia Asekiya and Dorcas Gyimah settled for fifth and sixth in 24.42 and 24.50 respectively.
Running in lane five, Kate Agyeman- a former student of Kumasi based Aduman Senior High School – run a splendid curve and caught up with Agnes Abrokwah (in lane 6) after about 100m before powering home aplomb, leaving her more illustrious seniors Dorcas Gyimah and Cecilia Asekiya in her shadow.
Her victory adds to a very entertaining season which has seen two different winners in the 200m final.
Dorcas Gyimah won the 200m final at the first leg of the Circuit held at Bolgatanga before Cecilia Asekiya won the second leg encounter at the Koforidua Stadium.
The stage is now set for the fourth and final leg of the National Circuit Championships to be held at the newly built Cape Coast stadium in May to determine who wins the overall 200m crown this season.
