Fresh from her record-breaking performance at the 60th edition of the University of Ghana Inter-Halls Athletics Competition, held from Wednesday, December 11th to Friday, December 13th, 2024, Elizabeth Agyei has set her sights on one of the biggest stages in the world, the Olympics.
The Level 200 student pursuing a Diploma in Youth Development Work made history by shattering the 800 meters record, which had stood for eight years. Agyei’s blistering time of 2min:23:48 secs eclipsed the previous record of 2min:23:51 seconds set by Joycelyn Assafuah in 2016.
With her remarkable achievement, Agyei is determined to take her talents to the global level.
“I want to balance athletics and academics effectively, deliver exceptional performances at every competition, and hopefully compete at the Olympic level within the next four years or beyond,” Agyei revealed in an exclusive interview with Univers Sports.
As Elizabeth Agyei continues to chase her dreams, her determination, resilience, and passion for athletics will undoubtedly inspire a new generation of student-athletes.
With her sights firmly set on Olympic glory, the future looks bright for this talented young athlete.
