Happy birthday to the following student, we hope you have a great day!

We are very proud of all of our students, their commitment to training and the race. Students prepared well both in physical and mental stamina and development of technique.
Well done to all students who rose to the challenge of the day ... you were absolutely fantastic. Its a pity not all students were present. We had at least one place getter in every age level which is fabulous achievement.
