The Alguazas triathlete, Natalia Hidalgo, is triumphing in the United States where she moved during the month of August to start her university studies.

Thanks to this victory of Murcia, the University 'Davis and Elkins', to which it belongs, has managed for the first time to have a National Champion.
Natalia Hidalgo held a great competition where she went from less to more.
A good swimming left her in the chasing group with a cycling sector characterized by technical parts and many curves and turns, as well as continuous ups and downs.
Natalia maintained the position in the group to give everything in the race on foot, where everything was going to be decided as it happened.
In the middle of the first round he went up positions until he reached the finish line in first position proclaiming himself National Champion.
In addition, his team was National Runner-up by universities, something unprecedented in the sports history of his university.
In addition to this victory, Natalia Hidalgo has reaped great successes since she began her career last August in the US.
