WVRAA
Meet set
Feb. 11-16
BY CHRISTIAN IRL TAN
The 2007 Western Visayas Regional Athletics Association Meet is set for Feb. 11 to 16 with majority of the events to be staged at the Panaad Park and Stadium in Barangay Mansilingan, Bacolod City.
Division Schools Supt. Eva Belicena yesterday said the Physical Education and School Sports supervisors met with Dr. Eden Deriada, Region VI PESS supervisor, to inspect the playing venues and billeting quarters of the delegations.
The PESS supervisors should submit their findings within
the week so suggested improvements could still be made in the various
venues before the Regional Meet, she said. Aside from Panaad, the Paglaum
Sports Complex, University of St. La Salle, West Negros College, Negros
Occidental High School, Riverside College and Mansilingan Agro-Industrial
High School, among others, will also be the site of a number of disciplines.

La
Salle, UNO-R bets Spikers from the University of St. La Salle and University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos will collide for the men and women's crowns in the NOPSSCEA collegiate beach volleyball tournament from Jan. 27-28 at the USLS sandcourt in Bacolod City. NOPSSCEA Sports Task Force chairman Roger Banzuela yesterday said that the two schools will be allowed to field a pair of squads each to have more competition in the two-day hostilities. It will be the first time that the discipline has been calendared
in the annual school-based meet after a three-year hiatus because
of the lack of participating teams, Banzuela said. |

Castro
to receive Negrense boxer Godfrey Castro is one of the athletes who will receive a citation during the PSA-SMC Annual Awards on Jan. 18 at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City. Castro, who hails from Cadiz City, will be given the citation after being one of the 19 Filipino medalists during the 15th Asian Games in Doha, Qatar last month. Castro, 21, who started boxing at 10, posted impressive victories over Malaysian Zamzai Aziz Mohammad and Ali Saad Al Ahmry of Saudi Arabia in the light flyweight hostilities before settling for a bronze medal after bowing to veteran Suban Pannon of Thailand in the semifinals. It was the most successful campaign for Castro, who replaced the
veteran internationalist Harry Taņamor due to suspension a month
before the quadrennial meet. |
