Hafsatu Kamara who last represented Sierra Leone on the International Stage at the IAAF World Outdoor Championships in Beijing last August (2015) began her 2016 outdoor Campaign with a bang as she recorded a very fast time of 11.69 seconds and 24.17 seconds respectively in the 100 and 200 meters at the just concluded Mt. Sac Relays in Walnut California.

Hafsatu’s time of 24.17 seconds could have been a national record in the 200 meters eclipsing Eunice Barbers record of over 20 years had it not been for the excessive wind of 2.1 m/s. Her 100 meters time of 11.69 seconds which was also wind aided sits as the second fastest time ran by a Sierra Leone woman athlete in 2016 after Ngozi Musa’s 11.66 seconds that is now the new national record.

Hafsatu’s performance follows in the footsteps of her teammates Ngozi Musa of Harvard University, and Maggie Barrie of Ohio State University to name a few who have put up some scintillating times lately which bodes very well for the Sierra Leone national athletics team which for years had all but disappeared in Global competitions.

Hafsatu and her teammate presents a new ray of hope and some exciting times ahead for Sierra Leone Athletics.
The Sierra Leone National Team is hoping that some of these new age athletes will meet the qualifying marks for the Rio Olympic Games and subsequent competitions of the near future.

The outlook is bright but support will be badly needed from the community and some corporate bodies within and outside of the country to make the ascent to the top for these eager bunch to excel.
