A special mention goes to Olivia Buchan and Farid Azizi, who were crowned age group champions in their respective categories. Farid clinched gold in the boys' 18-20 years 200m, along with four silver medals in the 100m, long jump, triple jump, and 4x100m relay. Olivia took home gold in the girls' 17 years triple jump, silver in both the 200m and long jump, and bronze in the 400m and 4x100m relay. Both athletes demonstrated exceptional talent and determination—congratulations to you both!
We also want to highlight the incredible achievement of Kazadi Kadima, who set two new records on the day. Kazadi broke the boys' 15 years 800m record, which had stood since 1997, and the boys' 15 years 1500m record, set in 1998. In a truly remarkable performance, Kazadi shaved 10 seconds off the existing 1500m record, finishing in a time of 4:17.82. This is an outstanding feat—well done, Kazadi!
What an incredible day for ÃÛÌÒÅ®º¢ athletics!
