Pangasinan II assured of back-to-back crown in R1AA meet
DEFENDING champion Pangasinan II took a commanding lead after it collected 55 gold, 37 silver and 35 bronze medals after four days of competition in the Region 1 Athletic Association (R1AA) Meet at the President Ferdinand Edralin Marcos Sports Center in Laoag City.
The defending champion captured 21 gold, 13 silver and 22 bronze medals in the elementary division and repeated its dominance in the secondary division with 34 gold, 24 silver and 13 bronze medals as of 9:10 a.m. on April 26 enroute to a now certain back-to back crown in this year’s R1AA meet.
Host Laoag City was in far second with 38 gold, 32 silver and 43 bronze medals and with two days more left before the end of the meet, it is now mathematically impossible that it can catch up and overtake defending champion Pangasinan II.
Ilocos Norte maintained its third place with 30 gold, 37 silver and 31 gold but Dagupan City inched closer, overtaking Ilocos Sur, following its phenomenal jump from 11th place during the first day of the competition to fourth place with 22 gold, 18 silver and 32 bronze medals.
Ilocos Sur dropped from fourth to fifth place with 20 gold, 27 silver and 23 bronze medals, followed by Pangasinan 1 which dislodged La Union in sixth to settle for fifth place with 19 gold, 33 silver and 30 bronze medals.
La Union is seventh in the standing with 15 gold, 20 silver and 34 bronze medals. San Carlos City trails the pack with 14 gold, 12 silver and 15 bronze medals for eighth place followed by San Fernando City in ninth place after it also earned 14 gold medals but bagged only 10 silver medals and 10 bronze medals.
Vigan City collected 12 gold, 13 silver and 16 bronze medals for 11th place in the standing with Urdaneta City after bagging 12 gold, 12 silver and 19 bronze medals
Alaminos City is in 12th place with nine gold, seven silver and 12 bronze, followed by Candon City in 13th place with eight gold, six silver and four bronze medals while Batac City is in the cellar with zero gold, three silver and three bronze medals. (Leonardo Micua)
