<p>Team Ghana had endured a disappointing start to the Championships when they dropped the baton and&nbsp;subsequently&nbsp;finished last in their heat on Day 1.</p>

<p>However, the quartet of Ibrahim Fuseini, Isaac Botsio, Benjamin Azamati, and Joseph Paul Amoah made amends when they took to the tracks on Day 2.</p>

<p>Team Ghana dominated Heart 2 from the start, with Amoah running the anchor leg to finish&nbsp;with a time of&nbsp;38.29 seconds – a personal best.</p>
