LIMASSOL LIZARDS – CYPRUS U18 CHAMPIONSHIPS REVIEW

This weekend, 13–14 June, our athletes competed at the Cyprus U18 Championships, and we are very pleased with the overall results. We saw personal bests, podium finishes, valuable experience gained, and some athletes returning to competition in great form.

A special mention goes to our senior athletes who also competed in additional races:

Antonis Diamantakis won the 400m and achieved a new personal best.

Elijah Gould ran and won with a personal best of 1:51 in the 800m.

Overall, we are very happy with the performances. Several athletes achieved personal bests, many gained important championship experience, and the team represented the Limassol Lizards with pride and determination.

For most of our athletes, the season has now come to an end. We have one final competition remaining in two weeks' time, when our senior men and women return to the track.

Congratulations to all athletes for their hard work throughout the season, and thank you to the parents and supporters who continue to support the team every step of the way.
