Jablonica youngsters shine in Senica with individual medals and relay victory
Fast feet, powerful jumps, impressive throws and the joy of a team victory. On Sunday, 8 November 2026, fifteen of our youngest athletes competed in the opening round of the second edition of the Senica Kids' Athletics Cup. They returned from Senica with seven individual medal-winning performances and a victory in the mixed relay.
While their older club teammates competed at the cross-country championships in Šoporňa on Saturday, Sunday belonged to our youngest athletes. Organised by Atletický klub Senica in cooperation with the Slovak Athletics Federation, the competition featured three individual disciplines: the 40-metre sprint, standing long jump and vortex throw. The mixed 4 × 200-metre relay was also part of the programme.
A clean sweep for Jablonica in the 2018 age group
Our athletes claimed all three top positions in the girls' 2018 age group. Dominika Regásková won the combined event, Laura Buchancová finished second and Linda Polakovičová took third place.
The girls also delivered impressive individual performances. Dominika's vortex throw of 16.72 metres was the longest among all the girls at the competition. Laura recorded a standing long jump of 167 centimetres, matching the best result of the entire field. She was also ŠK Jablonica's fastest athlete over 40 metres, clocking 6.97 seconds.
Linda Polakovičová added an excellent jump of 162 centimetres and a sprint time of 7.17 seconds. Together, the three Jablonica athletes demonstrated their versatility across the different disciplines.
More medals for our youngest athletes
The success continued in the other age groups. Anežka Ochotnická secured third place in the girls' 2019 category.
In the combined 2020–2021 girls' category, Linda Vozárová claimed victory. Our young athlete also impressed with a 40-metre sprint time of 7.88 seconds, matching the performance of some competitors three years older than her. Nella Omastová finished third in the same category.
Jakub Búran added another medal for ŠK Jablonica, taking third place in the boys' 2020–2021 category.
A relay victory in red and blue
One of the highlights of the day was our victory in the mixed 4 × 200-metre relay.
Linda Polakovičová, Laura Buchancová, Alex Suchý and Dominika Regásková joined forces to secure first place for ŠK Jablonica. After their successful individual performances, they added a shared team triumph.
The relay captured what we love about kids' athletics: every athlete runs their own leg, but the achievement belongs to the whole team.
One round completed, more challenges ahead
ŠK Jablonica was also represented by Zina Hajdučko, Lujza Lončíková, Teodor Hajdučko, Kristián Hazucha, Tadeáš Rehák, Nina Černáková and Nikola Červinková. In addition to his relay victory, Alex Suchý produced an impressive vortex throw of 16.08 metres.
Our fifteen athletes completed a combined total of 45 individual events. Seven individual medal-winning performances and a relay victory made for an excellent start to the new edition of the Senica Kids' Athletics Cup.
Two more rounds will follow in January and March, giving our youngest athletes further opportunities to improve, gain experience and enjoy their athletics journey together.
Thank you to all our young athletes for representing the club, to our coaches for their preparation and to our families for their support. See you at the next round!
