The team of the Pyatigorsk Eagles student sports club took part in the All-Russian project “UniverLiga Ready for Labor and Defense” in the North Caucasus Federal District.

This large-scale event brought together the best student athletes in the district, who demonstrated impressive results. Each participant showed not only excellent physical training, but also team spirit and intellectual abilities in the field of sports.

The guys took a respectable 2nd place in the Ready for Labor and Defense multi-event competition, losing to the winners by only 8 seconds. And as it turned out, Eagles not only fly high, but also swim well. They also took silver in this stage.
