Boitshepho Moloi proved she is currently the fastest woman in Botswana after she emerged as the overall winner of the 100m sprint during the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) series held at the National Stadium last weekend.

The Lion’s Den Athletics Club sprinter pushed hard to beat veteran sprinter Loungo Matlhaku to win the women’s 100m heat, recording a personal best (PB) of 11.87.

It has been a steady journey on the track for Moloi who started running when she was a student at Naledi Senior Secondary School in 2017. “My interest in athletics stems from the Botswana Integrated Sport Association (BISA) days when I was a high school student but I turned professional two years ago after I met my current coach, Phenyo Semumu,” she said.
