by SHAIRA IWAYAN

The College of Engineering and College of Education stood atop their opponents and claimed the crown for athletics men and women, with cumulative scores 84 and 56, after a grueling series of events during Sportsfest 2023 at the University Football Field, Apr. 20.

Amongst the array of players, with synergized skill, versatility and consistency, Tiger Jericho Blanza for men’s category and Phoenix Rhea Mae Ostan for women’s category brought home the crown for the Most Valuable Player during the tournament.

“I did not expect to be [hailed as] the ‘Most Valuable Player’ for women’s category this year, and I am overwhelmed because this is my first time to have this title, and it wouldn’t have been possible with my teammates,” Ostan shared.

A range of 10 track and field games composed the Athletics tournament for both men and women categories in which all six colleges participated. All of which were: 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m and 1,500m for the running event; long jump for the jumping event; and discuss throw and shotput for the throwing event.

The athletics tournament was concluded as a one-day event. Further, the other five colleges finished off not far behind the winning team in both men and women categories.
