Destiny Nkeonye Vice Italian Champion in the long jump

U20 athlete Nkeonye is considered one of Italy's best hopes in the long jump. His best mark was 7.12 m, which he set this year in Merano. Today he broke his best by 20 centimeters. With 7.32 m, the flagship of the Bolzano club Athletic Club 96 achieved a strong second place. The 19-year-old from Bolzano only had to admit defeat to the new Italian champion from Livorno, Jacopo Quarratesi (7.42 m). Carlo Santacà completed the podium with 7.22 m. His teammate Nicolò Fusaro (U23) won the first South Tyrolean medal on Friday evening. The pole vaulter from Bolzano, who is studying in Padua and is celebrating his 21st birthday today, crossed 5.00 m for the first time this year and thus placed third in the U23 competition behind Leonardo Orlandi (5.10) and Andrea Martin (5.05). Fusaro narrowly missed his previous record of 5.01 m, which he achieved last year in Silandro. Federica Cavalli, however, narrowly missed the podium in the 400 m final. The 19-year-old girl from Bolzano from the South Tyrol Team Club, who ran a good time of 56.88 seconds in the preliminary run yesterday, improved again today by 24 hundredths. In the end, we finished 56.64th in 4 seconds, 36 hundredths short of the bronze medal. The victory went to exceptional runner Laura Elena Rami in 54.31 seconds. The high jumper Alberto Masera from Bolzano also took fourth place. The U4 athlete from SV Lana crossed 23 m, but then failed three times at 2.02 m. The third-placed Tiziano Feletto came in at 2.06 m. Marie Gruber took 2.06th place in the U20 shot put with 11.43 m. Kofler, Harrasser, Vikoler and Paletti... Today the two U20 talents Nathalie Kofler and Ira Harrasser also qualified for the finals in the pole vault and 200 m, respectively, which will take place tomorrow. The woman from Lanan jumped 3.35 m, the woman from Bruneck ran a good 24.72 seconds. U23 ace Isabel Vikoler (SG Eisacktal) also has a chance of a top result in the 400m hurdles tomorrow.
