FROM TREYSTI’S WEBSITE:
A large group from Treysti left for Iceland today to compete and train. As early as tomorrow, five girls will take part as guests in the Icelandic Championships for children aged 11–14. The five girls are: Birita Ryan, Maria Biskopstø, Óluva Allansdóttir Joensen, Maria Josephsen and Vibeka Sivertsen.
The Icelandic Championships take place in the new indoor hall in Hafnarfjörður. This afternoon they had a light training session in very good conditions in Kaplakriki, as the hall is called.
Next week the athletes from Treysti will train together with FH, the club in Hafnarfjörður.
Among other things, the trip is preparation for the Danish Youth Championships, which take place at the beginning of March. Hopefully some of them will achieve the qualification standards for it.
Because this is the Icelandic Championships, they will not receive any medals, even if they finish in the top three.
Their schedule for tomorrow looks like this:
10:00 High jump Maria Biskopstø
10:00 Long jump Maria Josephsen
10:40 60 m Vibeka Sivertsen
11:55 60 m Maria Josephsen
12:25 60 m Birita Ryan
12:50 Shot put Birita Ryan and Óluva A. Joensen
14:35 600 m Maria Josephsen
15:05 600 m Vibeka Sivertsen
15:20 800 m Maria Biskopstø
and on Sunday:
10:00 Long jump Birita Ryan, Maria Biskopstø and Óluva A. Joensen
12:00 Shot put Maria Josephsen
Next weekend they will compete in Stórmót ÍR, which is being held for the 20th time this year. Around 20 athletes from Treysti will take part. Athletes from Bragdið and Hvirlan will also be competing.
As in previous years, the group is staying at the Faroese Seamen’s Home, Hotel Ørkin.
MARNA ALSO COMPETING
Tomorrow the Danish Championships in long-course cross-country take place. Our strong Marna Egholm will be taking part, and it will be very exciting to see how she does. The race takes place in Esbjerg, and most of the very strongest runners in Denmark will be competing.
Marna has trained a lot recently. Although the training has been heavy, her form is good, and we hope Marna manages to work her way as far up into the top 10 as possible.
FÍF wishes everyone a good competition and the best of luck.
