The Under-20 Championships were held last weekend, and we came away with a few podium finishes.

Elijah finished 3rd in the 400m and 1st in the 800m. Dimitris took 2nd place in the steeplechase, and Christina finished 3rd in the 1500m.

We also had success in the 4x400m relays. Elijah was part of the boys' team that won 1st place, while Christina and Berna were part of the girls' team that finished 3rd.

It wasn't our strongest competition overall. We had athletes dealing with illness, it's exam period, and for some of our younger athletes it was a valuable learning experience. There were performances that could have been better, but that's part of sport. It's done now, and our focus shifts to what's next.

The important thing is that every competition provides experience. We will sit down, reassess, learn from our mistakes, and use those lessons to improve for the next challenge.
Well done to everyone who took part. The goal is not only to achieve results but also to learn how to be competitive, stay consistent, set goals, and handle both success and disappointment. Sport teaches us many of the same lessons that life does—there are highs and lows, victories and setbacks.

So let's keep learning, keep improving, and most importantly, let's keep running.
