Region 1 to send 200 athletes to national PRISAA games
SOME 200 athletes from the Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA) will be sent to Zamboanga City to compete against the best of the nation’s college players for this year’s National PRISAA Games slated on April 8-14.
Except for baseball, football and dance sport, the Region 1 contingent will compete in 17 team sports, individual events in the men and women divisions like basketball, sepak takraw, softball, volleyball, athletics, badminton, chess, karatedo, lawn tennis, swimming, table tennis and taekwondo.
Region 1 is also fielding its bets to the vocal solo singing contest, cultural events (men and women) and the Mutya ng PRISAA.
PRISAA Region 1, which hosted the 2006 national PRISAA, landed fifth in the overall standing of medal tally in 2006 and 2007.
The selected athletes will come from Pangasinan, La Union, Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte and the cities of Dagupan, San Carlos, Urdaneta, Alaminos, San Fernando, Candon, Vigan and Laoag.
“We hope to improve our ranking in the overall standing,” Phil Celi, PRISAA Region 1 executive director said.
PRISAA Region 1 treasurer Seato Gonomil believes the region has a big chance to land on the top four this time because this year’s athletes are stronger.
Atty. Gonzalo Duque, president of the Lyceum Northwestern University and PRISAA Region 1 president, will head the de-legation—JAG,Jr.
