Palaro swim standout
leaves USLS for BCC
BY CEDELF TUPAS

In a move that may tilt the balance of power in the school-based swimming circuit, Bacolod Christian Center unveiled 2007 Palarong Pambansa gold medallist Kiefer Alexander James Piccio as the latest standout to join its squad.

The 13-year-old Piccio, who won a gold, two silvers and two bronzes in the Palaro in Koronadal, South Cotabato last month, made a name for himself while donning the University of St. La Salle colors the past four years.

BCC announced Piccio's inclusion to its high school swimming team in a press release last week. The reason for his transfer, however, was not indicated in the press release. The DAILY STAR tried but failed to contact Piccio's father, Jake, for comment.
