Congratulations to Karawan for winning the Israeli cross country championship.

Karawan Halabi, an MSc student in our lab, won the Israeli cross country championships for the third time in a row with the result: 41:27 minutes.

The race took place at Yarkon Park, Tel Aviv.

The race was challenging as it contained uphills, downhills, and puddles while running on grass.

Congratulations Karawan!
