T. I. Ahmadiyya Secondary School, Kumasi (REAL AMASS), the six consecutive times Super Zonals Champions, were crowned champions of Zone Four in the ongoing Ashanti Regional Inter-Schools and Colleges Athletics Competition at the Baba Yara stadium on Friday after two days of competition.
AMASS emerged champions in both the girls and boys divisions but had to ward of credible threats from some schools who pushed them to their limit. In the girls division, Islamic SHS from Abrepo Kumasi were thirty points adrift of AMASS after crossing the one hundred and forty mark to succumb to Amass. The solid challenge from Islamic SHS excited patrons at the stadium who have been longing for credible opposition to AMASS after six years of dominance in the Region.
New Edubiase SHS and Ghanamy also gave the champions worthy opposition. The dominance of AMASS in the boys division was however unquestionable with a huge gap between them and second placed Ghanamy and third placed Amaniampong SHS.
The zonal competitions will be climaxed next week as Opoku Ware and Prempeh College take their turn to set the stage for a mouth-watering Super Duper Zonals on the 26th and 27th of February, 2015.
The day however belonged to Prince Charles of O.T. (Abrempong) who produced a breath-taking performance to win the 200 and 400m race as well as anchor O.T. in the relays and medleys with amazing run. He is surely one for the future if his development will be monitored.
