First batch of Negros
athletes leave Sunday
FOR REGIONAL MEET IN ROXAS
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN

About 197 athletes and coaches will join the first batch of the Negros delegation that will leave Bacolod City tomorrow to see action in the Western Visayas Regional Athletics Association Meet.

The Negros contingent will leave in two groups --- 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. --- via Weesam Express going to Iloilo City before proceeding to Roxas City to prepare for the regional meet. The regional school-based competition is slated March 16 to 21 at the Villareal Stadium in Roxas City, Capiz.

The first batch will be a combination of elementary and secondary athletes, but the different Negros teams will not go as a whole per squad because some of their respective players will leave in the other batches, Nanette Roa of the Department of Education said.
