Kwofie’s dominance at the 2025 Super Zonals is hardly a surprise to those who’ve followed his meteoric rise.
Already the holder of the Central Region’s 100m and 200m records—clocking a blistering 10.02 seconds and 20.8 seconds, respectively—the Mfantsipim star has been rewriting the record books since his first year. Earlier in the day, he breezed to victory in the 200m final with a time of 21.31 seconds, further solidifying his claim as the region’s premier sprinter.
His performance in the 4x200m only added to the legend, proving he’s not just a solo act but a team player who thrives under pressure.
The Kotokraba boys’ triumph was a collective effort, with Kwofie quick to praise his teammates. “We’ve been working hard together,” he said, catching his breath after the race.
“The handoffs were perfect, and everyone gave their all. I just had to finish what they started.” Coach Kwame Appiah, beaming with pride, hailed the team’s chemistry, noting, “Joseph is our spark, but this win belongs to all of them. They ran like champions.”
For Mfantsipim, a school with a storied athletic tradition, the 4x200m win is another feather in their cap as they aim to dominate the Super-Zonals leaderboard.
