GUANGZHOU, China – East Texas A&M University track and field sprinter Ibrahim Fuseini ran a blazing anchor leg to help his home country of Ghana qualify for the 4×100 meter relay at the World Athletics Championships later this year.
Fuseini (Accra, Ghana) raced for Team Ghana at the World Athletics Relay Championships over the weekend in Guangzhou. After missing out on advancement to the finals and qualifying for the World Championships on Saturday by just 0.06 seconds, Ghana ran a time of 38.32 seconds on Sunday in the second round of qualifying.
The World Athletics Championships are set for September 13-21 in Tokyo. Lion coach George Pincock served as the relays coach for Ghana during the World Athletics Championships.
Fuseini’s appearance in the World Athletics Championships later this year marks the second straight time that the Lions had a representative in the World Athletics Championships 4×100 meter relay as former Lion J.T. Smith raced for Team USA at the 2023 World Championships. Fuseini also raced for Ghana in the 4×100 meter relay at last year’s 2024 Paris Olympics.
This weekend, Fuseini returns to the US as the Lions end the 2024-25 season at the Southland Conference Championships Thursday-Saturday in Houston.
