The University of the Philippines Integrated School (UPIS) Dashing Junior Maroons fell short of their target podium finish, placing fourth on both girls and boys divisions in their UAAP79 campaign last February 8-12, 2017 at the ULTRA Sports Complex, Pasig.
They brought home a gold, three silvers, and four bronzes in a considerably successful season despite all the challenges they faced.
Veterans Gab Aparato and Charles Epino both with injured hamstrings, played their hearts out and added three medals for the team.
“We gave it all we could, it just so happens na ang lakas talaga ng kalaban. We were at our best and we made the most out of the situation we had,” said Aparato.
Epino, together with Jasper Atela, Reinard Grimaldo and Christian Pagadora, won a hard-fought silver in the 4x100 relay. The same core with Jerick Marquez instead of Pagadora bagged a bronze in the 4x400m relay.
“Proud ako sa teammates ko siyempre kasi kahit alam nilang hirap ako makatakbo, tuloy parin. Salamat din sa crowd kasi naging malaking factor sila sa takbo namin,” Epino proudly said.
Gyles Abac, Trent Madjus, and Forth Soriano conquered the tartan track in the 5000m and 3000m walk events, dominating the podium and gathered five medals in total. According to Madjus, they just followed and executed their plan and it paid off.
For the girls’ team, Shaina Queri took home a bronze in the shotput event while Caila Cadiz, despite her short preparation time delivered well in her own events.
The whole UPIS Track and Field Team (TnF), especially the seniors, extended their gratitude to the UPIS community for their overwhelming support which motivated the team especially in the last three days of the competition.
“Nakakatuwa na maraming nagpunta at nagpaabot ng support sa amin. Malaki ang pasasalamat namin sa kanila,” said Soriano, a 4-year veteran in the team. // by Julian Taloma
