The winners of the gold medals were Waheed Dodoo, Dallas Awenyese, Lambert Fiazuku, Frank Terkpor, Daniel Quansah, Abdul Rahman Dodoo, Kelvin Deladem Amenuku, Elizabeth Oduro, Evelyn Dzato, Blessing Hammond, and Divina Dodoo.
The bronze medal winners were Eugene Boateng and Isaac Williams.
He announced that the African Championship, a competition that contributes towards the Olympic qualification process, would take place in La Cote d’Ivoire in June.
