Ghana won a total of 24 medals in the track and field events at the recently held Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) II Senior Championship at the Stade de Kegue in Lome, Togo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the championship, Ghana won 14 gold, eight silver, and two bronze medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were among the top performers at the championship, which included countries like Liberia, Benin, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Niger, Ivory Coast, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team Ghana also dominated the 100-metre dash final after Barnabas Aggerh and Sarfo Ansah came 1st and 2nd, respectively, with times of 10.40s and 10.49s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
