The UPIS track and field team defended their crown for the fourth consecutive time in the 75th Season of UAAP last December 4-7, 2012 at the Philsports Arena.

Jaime Mejia was crowned season MVP after getting 7 gold medals to lead UPIS to a blow-out victory after being down in the second day of the tourney.

Seniors Melvin Sangalang, Renzo Domingo, and Justin Monje collectively added 3 bronze medals and 2 silvers while Bryan Morales also quenched his thirst for a gold after rewriting the record books in the 4x100m and 4x400m relay with the help of Sangalang, Domingo, juniors Earl Mandapat and MVP Mejia.

This is an emotional and meaningful victory for the team especially for the 8 graduating players who have been to several division and national competitions, and have been training and competing with the team since they were in Grade 6. ● Aaron Lina, with reports from Miguel Flores and Benjomer Hernandez
