US star hired by Ghana to compete against Tobi Amusan in the 100-meter hurdles

Leading American hurdler Evonne Britton became a Ghanaian citizen and is now Tobi Amusan's main rival in Africa. Evonne Britton, an American speed hurdler, accomplished her nationality conversion to Ghana and is expected to be Tobi Amusan of Nigeria's major adversary on the continent.At the 2010 World Junior Championships, Britton competed for the United States and won the bronze medal in the 400 metres. However, her medal was eventually changed to a silver because Katsiaryna Artyukh, the race winner, was disqualified due to drugs. The multi-talented hurdler was also a standout college athlete for Pennslyvania State University. Her career-ending scare came at the end of her second year when she had meniscus surgery on her left knee due to a fall while hurdling. However, she will end her college scholarship as an eight-time outdoor and indoor NCAA championship meet qualifier.With her college success, Britton made a statement at the 2016 US Olympic Trials, where she clocked a Personal Best (PB) of 12.78s in the 100mH but didn't make the final, and in 2019 claimed her first senior US podium finish when she finished 2nd in the 60m Hurdles at the USA Indoor Track and Field Championships.
