Rose Amoanimaa Yeboah: A golden year of excellence in athletics. Congratulations to Rose Amoanimaa Yeboah on being honoured as the Sports Personality of the Year and Female Athlete of the Year at the 49th SWAG Awards. This well-deserved recognition comes as no surprise, given her stellar achievements in 2024. Rose’s exceptional performances on both national and international stages have firmly established her as a leading figure in Ghanaian athletics and an inspiration to aspiring athletes.
In 2024, Rose’s brilliance in the high jump was evident in several record-breaking performances. On June 8, she made history by setting a new Ghanaian high jump record at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Representing the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, she cleared an incredible height of 1.97 meters, a feat that placed her among the world’s elite high jumpers. This achievement not only showcased her extraordinary talent but also brought pride to her university and country.
Earlier in the year, Rose demonstrated her remarkable consistency and determination by breaking her own national indoor high jump record. On January 28, during the Illini Challenge in the United States, she achieved a leap of 1.88 meters, further solidifying her reputation as a dominant force in the sport. This performance underscored her ability to continually push boundaries and set new standards for excellence.
Rose’s dominance extended to the continental stage as well. On March 19, 2024, she defended her African Games high jump title in Accra, Ghana. Clearing a height of 1.90 meters, she once again proved her mettle as a top-tier athlete in Africa. Her victory was not only a personal triumph but also a significant contribution to Ghana’s success at the Games.
These accomplishments highlight Rose’s exceptional talent, unwavering dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Her achievements in 2024 are a testament to her hard work and commitment to her craft. Beyond the records and titles, Rose’s journey serves as an inspiration to many young athletes, particularly in Ghana, demonstrating that with perseverance and determination, great heights can be achieved—both literally and figuratively.
