Negrenses
surge
ahead in athletics
CAGERS, VOLLEYBELLS ALSO PREVAIL
BY CEDELF TUPAS
ROXAS CITY --- A string of golden performances made by members of the secondary boys' squad set the tone for Negros Occidental's auspicious start in the Western Visayas Regional Athletic Association Meet here yesterday.
While there was a surprising setback by the high school booters (see related story), it failed to take the luster off the big Day One victories in secondary softball, elementary girls' volleyball, secondary girls' volleyball and basketball.
Before those triumphs, however, were the 16-gold haul
at the pool and the three golds won by standouts of the secondary boys'
athletics team, which surged ahead with 31 points, 20.5 points clear
of rival Iloilo.

Negros tankers fish out ROXAS CITY --- As in the past few years, Day One of Western Visayas Regional Palaro swimming competitions belonged to Negros Occidental. Yesterday was not any different as Negrense tankers fished out 16 of the 20 golds disputed for the day, leaving the opposition on a watery grave at the Villareal Stadium pool here. Although the point system that gives 10 points for an individual gold and 15 for a relay win and not the medal tally will determine the team titlists, Negros' productive day gives them a huge lead in championship points. Diminutive swimmer Kiefer Piccio, a fifth grader at the University
of St. La Salle, emerged as the day's biggest star, claiming two
individual golds, before anchoring a relay victory, while Joshua
Balinas, Krestia Angela Lacson, Miguel Villanueva and Raffy Hechanova
all booked double-gold finishes. |
