From 21 to 24 January, the Indoor Polish Championships for Juniors and Younger Juniors were held in Spała. Seven athletes from MKS Bolesłavia took part in the competition: Katarzyna Romaszko, Alicja Kaczmarska, Maciej Chojnacki, Patryk Pieczarka, Marcin Zgodziński, Maciej Parobczak and Wojciech Kowalski.
The greatest success was achieved by Katarzyna Romaszko, an athlete coached by Ryszard Posacki. The MKS Bolesłavia athlete won the silver medal in the long jump with a result of 5.59 m. It is worth mentioning that Kasia reached the final with the last qualifying result. The competition was fought for every centimetre and was very close. In her penultimate jump, our athlete achieved a result that put her in first place. In the final round, a rival overtook her and recorded the best result of the entire contest.
Alicja Kaczmarska finished 10th in the 1,500 m race. Twenty athletes competed in this distance. The third of coach Posacki’s athletes, Maciej Chojnacki, competed in the 60 m hurdles. He recorded a time of 8.65, which gave him 12th place.
The multi-event athletes also competed at the indoor championships. Maciej Zgodziński, who trains at the School of Sports Championship in Wrocław under national team coach Dariusz Łoś, achieved an excellent 5th place. Meanwhile, Patryk Pieczarka, coached by Bartosz Gruman, finished 7th.
Wojciech Kowalski, a middle-distance runner coached by Małgorzata Markowska, finished 17th. Sprinter Maciej Parobczak was less fortunate. The athlete was disqualified in the 200 m race.
