The event, which took place on the tracks of Bayaguana and La Romana, served as a platform to identify the most outstanding athletes. The athletes who achieved the best marks in this championship will be considered to be part of the national pre-selections.

We are focused on the Central American Games where we will bring our best to the track to raise the tricolor flag in the regional event.
