Alexandra Kovács achieved a Hungarian age-group record in walking, an outstanding performance for the hopes of Békéscsaba AC.
Alexandra Kovács, a pupil of Mária Urbanikné Rosza, won the 3000m race walk and set a national short track record in the U20 field. She completed the distance in 13:07.07, breaking the previous record of 13:09.82 set by Berta Kriván in 2010.
On the first day of the U18s, DVTK's Áron Hajdu doubled his tally on Saturday, winning both the 60m flat (6.93) and long jump (711) events. Bori Rózsahegyi showed similar promise, winning the 60m on Saturday (7.57) to set the tone for her main event on Sunday, the long jump. Last year's athletes, Alexa Sulyán and Sarolta Kriszt, both opened with gold in the U20s. Sulyán won in the 60m (7.56) and Kriszt in the 400m (55.24).
Our Nyíregyháza competitors also stood out. Zsófia Sápi achieved 3rd place in the women's triple jump final with 10.99. In the men's 60m A final László Péter finished 4th with 7.09, in the women's 60m A final Dóra Bogár 4th (7.99), and in the B final Anna Körmendi Kata 2nd (8.09). In the women's High Jump final Regina Piros finished 3rd with 1.50. Nyíregyháza was also represented in the men's long jump, with Gábor Lőw's 5.65 being good enough for 8th place. In the women's 400m short course, Réka Szilágyi finished 4th with a time of 64.20.
