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.

ΝΕΟ ΠΑΓΚΥΠΡΙΟ ΡΕΚΟΡ Κ23 ΣΤΑ 10.000Μ. Η ΑΛΙΣΙΑ ΦΙΝΙΣ!!!
Η Αλίσια Σόφι Χάι Φίνις είναι από τα ξημερώματα τής Παρασκευής, 15 Μαΐου 2026, η νέα κάτοχος τού παγκύπριου ρεκόρ κάτω των 23 ετών, στα 10.000μ.! Η αθλήτρια τού Κρίστοφερ Μπάουστ έτρεξε για πρώτη φορά φέτος αυτήν την απόσταση, στους τελικούς τής Southland Conference (SLC), στα πανεπιστημιακά πρωταθλήματα των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών Αμερικής, στην πόλη Νακοντότσιες τού Τέξας, τερματίζοντας στη 2η θέση, σε 35:48.17, χαρίζοντας στο Τέξας Α&Μ το ασημένιο μετάλλιο. Το προηγούμενο ρεκόρ κατείχε από τις 27 Μαΐου 2017, η Ροδάμα Λαγωνίδου, με 36:37.14. Η Αλίσια Φίνις, η οποία γαλουχήθηκε στον στίβο στη Λεμεσό, από το τέλος τής περσινής χρονιάς μπορεί επίσημα να εκπροσωπεί την Κύπρο σε όλες τις διεθνείς διοργανώσεις.
Θυμίζουμε ότι την περσινή χρονιά, η Φίνις κέρδισε δύο χάλκινα μετάλλια στους τελικούς τής SLC, στα 10.000μ. (36:29.25) και στα 5.000μ. (17:12.02). Τα σημερινά 35:48.17 είναι και η 3η κορυφαία επίδοση στην ιστορία τού Τέξας Α&Μ στα 10.000μ. Επόμενες υποχρεώσεις τής 21χρονης πρωταθλήτριάς μας θα είναι ο δρόμος των 5.000μ. στο πρωτάθλημα τής SLC το Σάββατο, 16 Μαΐου 2026, ξημερώματα Κυριακής για μας στην Κύπρο.
Θερμά συγχαρητήρια Αλίσια και Κρίστοφερ Μπάουστ για το νέο παγκύπριο ρεκόρ. Καλή συνέχεια...

🏁 GYMNASIUM SCHOOL NATIONAL FINALS 🏁
Thursday
April 30th
One more race done. The Gymnasium School National Finals came to an end, and our athletes once again showed incredible determination, heart, and fighting spirit. The athletes who qualified from the regionals stepped up on the national stage and delivered some amazing performances.
🏆 1,000m Boys
🥇 — National Champion
🥈 — an incredible second place while competing against athletes two years older than him.
🏃♂️ 600m Boys
🥈 ._ — in an extremely close photo finish for second and third place.
4️⃣ Tony Yang — only 20 milliseconds away from the podium in one of the tightest races of the day.
🏃♀️ 1,000m Girls
🥉 Masha Zotova — despite being two years younger than the competition, she fought all the way to third place, finishing less than half a second from second. A true fighter with a very promising future ahead.
🏃♀️ 600m Girls
5️⃣ Chrysa Tooula— not her best race, but every competition is a lesson, an experience, and another step forward. The potential for the podium is there, and we know she’ll come back even stronger and more determined in the next races.
Proud of every single athlete for their effort, discipline, courage, and sportsmanship. Success is not only medals — it’s growth, resilience, and the willingness to keep pushing forward.
The future is bright. 💪🔥
