Two-sport
athlete LINGAYEN - This guy is not an ordinary athlete. He is not only the defending men's long jump champion in the National Private Schools and Athletics Association Games, but also the spitfire off the bench of the Western Visayas basketball team here. Rechie Javillo, 22, will not only try to retain his title in the men's long jump of the National PRISAA Games at the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center Oval here Tuesday, but will also be an integral part of the Western Visayas men's basketball team's bid to bring home the crown. Already on his graduating year at the University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos,
Javillo said he will give more importance to basketball in this
year's national meet, but at the same time do his best to keep his
men's long jump gold. |
