Ghanaian sprinter, Joseph Paul Amoah, has graduated from Coppin State University in the United States with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting.
Amoah, 23, transferred to Coppin State from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in 2017 on athletic scholarship where he has excelled tremendously on the track.
In 2019, Amoah led Ghana’s 4x100m relay team to gold at the African Games in Rabat, a first gold medal in the event since 2003.
The former Prempeh College student broke Ghana’s record in the men’s 200m and is now Ghana’s record holder in the event with 20.08s.
Joe Paul’s 100m time of 10:01s, also set in 2019, is only 0.03s off Leo Myles-Mills’ National Record time of 9.98s in the event.
Amoah is one of two Ghanaian Track and Field athletes to have qualified for the now rescheduled Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, along with Triple Jumper, Nadia Eke.
