AGUASCALIENTES._ Cossalteco Rafael Aguilar Godínez and culiacanense Óscar Daniel Agüelles López won first and second places in their respective categories, in the national Calaveras 2023 archery tournament held at the Centeo de Convenciones de Aguascalientes.
Both were the most notable of the Sinaloan delegation that traveled with around twenty archers, from the Ave Fénix and 10X Racquet Club clubs, as well as the Leto de Cosalá club.
The competition, considered the largest private tournament in the country, distributed 10 thousand dollars in prizes and brought together 390 competitors from 25 states in the country, including representatives or national teams, such as Juan René Serrano, Ernesto Boarman, Ana Paula Vázquez and the Paralympic Samuel Molina.

Aguilar Godínez has been trained by César Jacobo González for almost two years and has already attended two National Olympics.
He was one of the four Cosalá archers who made the trip.
“I think the most difficult thing was the endurance because I got tired, but the training loads were very heavy and that helped me,” he said after receiving his award.
