Alice Annum

Annum was one of many athletes through the defunct National Sports Festivals organised annually in Ghana. She benefited from the sponsorship of Ghanaian athletes by the United States and competed for the University of Tennessee. She competed in the 1964 Olympic Games but did not advance past the preliminary stages in the long jump, placing 28th with a best jump of 5.45 metres.

In 1970, she won silver at the Commonwealth Games in both 100 m and 200 m. She was honoured in 2010 for her achievements in sports by the Action Progressive Institute in Ghana.
