Dradozi wins long jump title at US track and field clubs Championships

Ghana's own long jump and triple jump standout, Marc Dradozi, captured his first US national track and field clubs title in the men's long jump competing for Indiana Invaders.

Dradozi, a current pharmacy student at the prestigious Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, and former conference champion competing for Drake University said he was delighted and thrilled with this win given the enormous challenges that he has had to face juggling between school, work and athletics.
