Soriano went home with the gold medal in the 3k walk and the bronze in the 5k. Abac, on the other hand, got the silver in both events.
Other members contributed to the UPIS Track and Field (TnF) team’s 148 points for a 5th overall finish this season.
Fellow juniors Charles Epino and Jasper Atela and seniors Raffy Oracion and team captain Rafael de Peralta beat out all but one on their way to a silver medal finish in the 4x400m event.
Epino also claimed a bronze medal in the 400m run.
Kim Gamboa and Michael Barbosa also made an impact by earning 36 and 14 points respectively from their events.
Fourth-year Miguei Abogado, a first-time member of the team, was ecstatic about his UAAP experience.
“Sobrang kakaiba nung experience, kahit first and last UAAP kong UAAP yun. Sobra akong nag-enjoy!” he said. “Kahit wala pala akong pinuntos sa team, nakita kong ginawa namin lahat ng best namin.”
De Peralta had a lot of positives to say despite the team failing to break into a podium finish this season.
“Kahit na hindi kami pumwesto at least nagawa namin lahat makapagPB (personal best) kami, magenjoy kami, nagfinals yung iilan sa amin, enough na yun para mapakita namin na kaya naming lumaban sa ibang malalakas, kaya naming makipagsabayan sa kanila,” said de Peralta.
“There is always room for improvement. ‘Di pa dito nagtatapos yung laban ng bawat isa sa amin, yung laban ng team. Ito pa lang yung simula,” he added. / by Andrei Vertudes
