PREGANZIOL. Virginia Scardanzan is still the protagonist Oltreocecano. On the evening of Friday 11 March, in Pittsburg, Kansas (United States), the athlete of Atletica Silca Conegliano climbed the podium again in the finals of the NCAA Division II Indoor Championship, the national finals of the American university championship. The 24-year-old under the Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, won the bronze in the pole vault competition where she crossed the bar at 4.15 meters. The size is the same as the two athletes who preceded her on the podium, Kyla Davis and Ellianne Kimes, who made fewer mistakes.

Yet another great performance for Scardanzan, who last year managed to get on the same podium of the NCAA twice, then in second place, both in the indoor and outdoor review, as well as

that to graduate absolute Italian vice champion in pole vaulting at the Italian athletics championships staged in Rovereto at the end of June. In 2021 in the country with stars and stripes, Scardanzan also won the auction competition at the MIAA Outdoor Championships, was nominated twice as student-athlete of her Washburn University in Topeka, where she graduated in kinesiology and was elected female athlete of the Central American Region of the Year by the US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Also in America, last May in Kearney, Nebraska, the Preganziol student rose to 4.35, a measure that earned her eighth place in the Italian auction list of all time. She is currently studying for a Masters in Business, also at Washburn University.

“Another good performance for our Virginia Scardanzan, who is regaining confidence with the auction after a period of stoppage due to a back injury – comments the president of Atletica Silca Conegliano, Francesco Piccin – we know that Virginia is an athlete with a great competitive role and he knows how to get excited in particular when you play the medals that matter. She, too, on Friday, although still not in her ideal physical condition, she gave the best of herself, still confirming herself as a protagonist in the United States. We are sure that also this season you will be giving us a lot of satisfaction ».
