The 27-year-old University of South Florida athlete improved his previous best time by 0.02 seconds at McEachern High School, cementing his position as Ghana's fastest man ever.
Fellow Ghanaian Mustapha Bokpin finished second in the race with a time of 10.09 seconds, making it a strong showing for Ghana's sprinting programme.
