Balon Dagupan Team places 5th in R1AA
THE Balon Dagupan Team emerged overall champion in four events in the Region 1 Athletic Association (R1AA) Meet held from February 23 to 28 in Agoo, La Union.
The city’s team topped in arniis (elementary division, boys and girls category), athletics (secondary divisions, boys), swimming (elementary division, girls) and basketball (elementary division).
Mayor Belen Fernandez was elated to learn from Education Program Supervisor Edilberto Abalos that as a result of its victories in four vents, Dagupan improved its standing from 7th place finish last year to 5th overall this year in a field of 13 divisions.
Fernandez travelled to Agoo, La Union on Feb. 28 to show support to the young athletes and later congratulated them for their winnings.
Abalos attributed the improvement of performance of the Dagupeño athletes to the mayor’s continuing support to sports development and for the athletes’ early training.
“On behalf of the athletes, we thank Mayor Belen for her overwhelming support and for providing us with all the athletes’ needs from the start to the end of the competition,” Abalos said. (CIO)
