Sirleaf Qualifies For 2020 Tokyo Games NCATAGGIES.COM Thu, Aug 15 EAST GREENSBORO – North Carolina A&T senior sprinter Akeem Sirleaf has qualified for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad, also known as the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. Sirleaf qualified 11 months ahead of the opening ceremonies. The Liberia Athletes Federation (LAF) made the announcement recently after Sirleaf put together impressive showings from March-June with many of those performances coming in an N.C. A&T uniform. Sirleaf will compete Liberia from July 24, 2020 to Aug. 9, 2020. “I’m extremely excited for Akeem,” said Duane Ross, N.C. A&T’s director of track and field programs. “He is one of the hardest working people I know, and he has earned this honor to compete at the greatest track meet in the world. He understands that the goal is to be there and win or medal, not just to participate.” When Sirleaf participated for N.C. A&T during the past indoor and outdoor seasons, he did so as one of the best sprinters in NCAA Division I. Sirleaf transferred to N.C. A&T out of Butler Community College.
