During this Thursday morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué, together with the Undersecretary of Sports Ivana Pérez, received in his office and presented awards to four members of the Municipal Athletics School for their outstanding performances in different sports competitions at the South American level.
These are Felipe Bond, who obtained the bronze medal in the 2000 meters at the South American School Games held in Bucaramanga, Colombia; Carmela Cocco, who stood out in the U18 South American Championship, obtaining the record mark of 66.16 meters in hammer throw, making history for Argentina; Lucas Miño, who closed the year as South American champion in discus throw; and Jonathan Pucheta, who was a finalist in the 800 meters at the U18 South American Championship held in San Luis.
TALENT AND TRAINING
In this regard, Pérez expressed her pride and thanked “all the professors and the team of teachers we have at the Municipal Athletics School, as they are in charge of finding talent and working with them. This 2024 was intense and involved a lot of teamwork, but the results are visible, and that is the greatest satisfaction.”
Jonathan Pucheta did not hide his satisfaction for closing “the year in the best way, representing my country and gaining great experience.”
Carmela Cocco did not hesitate to maintain that she was able to have “the best tournament of my life, being a South American champion and at the same time holding the championship record and raising the national record bar a little higher.”
Lucas Miño detailed that his year “was quite hard, but the objectives were achieved, such as going to the South American Championship, where what happened was unexpected, but we took home a gold medal, and now we want to prepare for 2025 with everything.”
Finally, Felipe Bond expressed his satisfaction for having “achieved two medals, second and third place; I am very happy with that.”
