The compound bow division saw Arcadio Alonso Lecuona win gold and Jesus Villadangos García claim silver. Erik Merayo Ovalle was victorious in the junior compound bow category.

Additional medals came in the barebow and longbow disciplines, with Javier Balboa Blanco earning silver in barebow and Celso García-Ciaño Antuña taking silver in longbow.

Club officials expressed gratitude to the Ponferrada City Council, its sports department, and the University of León for their support in facilitating the team’s participation.

The results highlight the Ponferrada club’s strength across multiple archery disciplines, with medals distributed among both experienced and junior competitors.
