L’année commence sportivement pour les licenciés de l’Éveil mendois athlétisme.

As usual for the past 21 years, the year begins in Lescure d’Albigeois, with the Epiphany bullfight organized by the USCA Lescure club. There were 900 people gathered for the 5 and 10 km races. Labeled, they open access to the French championship of the discipline and attract the best sportsmen of Occitanie.

Anne Moulin and Antoine Vens were at the party and brilliantly represented the department under the colors of the Éveil mendois athlétisme Lozère club.

French Championship

Anne Moulin finished 1st female and 30th overall in the 5km race, setting a new Lozère record for the distance and the event in a very nice time of 17’20, just six months after the birth of her second child. This National 3 level performance qualifies her for the next French championship, while also earning points for the Lozère club Athlétisme Lozère.

Antoine Vens stands out in a very dense and very tough 10 km race by finishing 56th in 34’50, a personal best time.

Not forgetting the results gleaned on December 21 at the Loire et Volcans meeting in Aubière, an indoor competition in which the young members of Éveil mendois athletics participated: Ombeline Scheidecker, cadet, in the 60 m; Léa Coulomb, girl's espoir, 800 m, in 2'28'62; Héloïse Scheidecker, girl's espoir, 3.91 m in the long jump; Évan Gerbal, cadet, 800 m, in 2'17'20; Noë Raffoux, cadet, 60 m, in 8'23; Roman Valentin, cadet, 60 m, in 8 s and 4.80 m in length.

The next meetings

Next meeting, the cross of the departmental championship which will be held on January 12, in Saint-Rome-de-Tarn, with the clubs of Aveyron. This cross-country race will be the start of the qualifying series leading to the French championship, quarter-final, on January 26, in Tarn or Aude depending on whether the Occitanie athletics league authorizes the Lozériens to participate in the closest cross-country race, the one near Albi, to limit their transport costs, and on February 9, a semi-final on the grueling Vabre course, in Rodez which will allow a qualification instead for the French championship, on March 1, in Challans, in Vendée. Great challenges in perspective that these cross-country races represent, formative events and essential to any preparation for races outside the stadium.
