Ungheni's runners bring home three golds from the national athletics championships: Cernat and Buzulan, senior champions

At the Republic of Moldova senior athletics championships, held on 30 June–1 July at the Dinamo Stadium in Chișinău, the athletes from Ungheni came home with three gold medals and one bronze. Ecaterina Cernat won the 5000 m by more than two minutes, and Gheorghe Buzulan took the 3000 m steeplechase — both senior titles. The third gold and the bronze came from the youth races, where Ion Baran ran the fastest time in the 1500 m final. It is a haul from a small town that climbs onto the podium alongside the country's biggest sports schools.
