Montenegrin athlete Tara Vesna Kljajević won the gold medal in the shot put at the "ATLANTIC SUN CONFERENCE-ASUN" athletics competition, a university sports conference in which she competes for "Queens", a college in North Carolina where she studies mathematics.

At a competition in Jacksonville, Florida, the Mojkovce native threw the shot put 15.53 meters, breaking the Montenegrin records for seniors and junior seniors, which were held by former world junior champion and Tara athlete Kristina Rakočević.

Vesna, who earned the most prestigious scholarship with her results, trained in Tara with professors Marko and Danilo Ristić, and with that result, she met the standard for the European U23 Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, where she will represent our athletics next year.

The standard for participation in the shot put competition in Bydgoszcz is 14,90 meters.
