Three medals for Lebanon at the 15th Arab Juniors Championship that held in Amman Jordan: 1 Gold and 2 bronze.
At the first day of the championship, Krystel Saneh won the 1st bronze medal for Lebanon in Long jump, jumping 5.24m behind Egypt and Tunis. In the heptathlon day 1, she was 5th with 2242 pts. Maha Al-Moallem ran a 12.23s (w) in semi-final and was qualified for the final finishing second overall after the Egyptian girl who run the 100m in 12.22s!

With a very bad start and a 12.11s, Maha could run even a better time. She's getting closer to the historical 12.01s of Gretta Taslakian. Krystel Saneh finished 5th in her 7 events with 3857 pts, 16 pts behind the 4th: 18.22 (+2.4); 1.50m; 8.27m; 26.69 (+4.6) / 5m17 (+1.7); 30.31m; 2:44.14.
