Kozybayev University has many traditions, including sports. An athletics cross is held annually at the university. This year it brought together about 100 students from all faculties. The race was held in the Petropavl City Park. The first distance was overcome by girls. Victoria Kurach (ILL) became the best among them, Kainikamal Sadvakasova (AF) finished a few seconds later, Daria Tansheva (FMNS) took bronze.
The boys had to run 2 km. Each athlete coped with the task. The podium of the guys consisted entirely of the Pedagogical Faculty's students: 1st place – Nikita Izotov, 2nd place – Danil Svirzhevsky and 3rd place – Arsen Khamzin. It should be noted that recently Nikita Izotov became the silver medalist of the World All-around Championship and fulfilled the standard of a Master of Sports of International class.
