The four members selected into the GNPC Speedsters Club by a team of technical experts, have been introduced to the GNPC management on Thursday, November 1. At a brief ceremony in Accra, the CEO of Ghana’s Fastest Human, Mr. Rex Brobby said after combing all of Ghana with high grade competitions, the founders have settled on the following four gifted athletes:
*Edwin Gadayi* from the Volta Region – 17 years and 5ft 9 inches, he’s the first one to be selected into Pour Club, back to back. He won two gold medals for Ghana at the ECOWAS U-20 championships, lost focus at the GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human 2018 final of finals last month by not advancing from the heats, due to one problem after the other; yet he remains the country’s finest.
*Grace Obuor* from the Ashanti Region – 17 years old and 5ft 8 inches. She won a gold medal for Ghana in the 400 meters at the ECOWAS U-20 championships and also came and she came and blew all away in the 100 meters of the U-18 category, to be crowned GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human U-18 this year. She’s a final year student at the great TI AMASS SHS.
*Raymond French* from Takoradi, 19 years and 5ft 10 inches and an amazing sprinter. Watch out for this raw talent. He didn’t win anything but our technical team selected him based on his ability.
*IddrisuMusa,* 18, 6ft tall, from the Northern Region is the latest sensation. He beat all in Ghana to be crowned GNPC Ghana’s Fastest Human U-18 and has so much strength.
General Manager, Sustainability at GNPC, Dr. Kwame Baah-Nuakoh, welcoming the four into the Club, exhorted them to be committed to their calling, in order to reap the desired benefits from the programme.
