PSL tankers pa-Dubai ngayon

MANILA, Philippines – Nakatakdang bumiyahe ngayong hapon ang 11-tanker  ng  Philippine Swimming League delegation na makikipagbakbakan  sa  2016 Hamilton Aquatics Winter Long Course Swimming Championship na gaganapin sa Disyembre 16 hanggang 18 sa Gems Nations Academy sa Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Ibabandera nina Philippine junior record holder Jerard Dominic Jacinto ng University of the East, reigning Male Swimming of the Year Sean Terence Zamora ng University of Santo Tomas at National Collegiate Athletic Association champion Sean Elijah Enero ng Mapua Institute of Technology ang kampanya  ng Pinoy na tankers sa paghakot ng medalya sa nasabing  kompetisyon.

“It’s our first time to compete in Middle East and we’re looking forward to another successful campaign. These swimmers are no pushovers. They are ra­ring to compete against the best tankers in the region,” pahayag ni PSL President Susan Papa.

Bukod sa mga swimmers na nabanggit, magtatangka ring makapagbigay ng karangalan sina Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh ng Immaculate Heart of Mary College-Parañaque, Triza Haileyana Tabamo ng College of Holy Spirit-Tarlac at Kyla Soguilon ng Sun Yat Sen Kalibo na sasabak sa girls’ category.

Kasama rin sa delegasyon sina Diliman Preparatory School standouts Paul Christian King Cu­sing at Albert Sermonia II gayundin sina Palarong Pambansa gold medalist Rio Lorenzo Malapitan ng Divine Word College-Calapan, Drew Benett Magbag ng University of the Philippines at Jeffrey Hirao ng College of Saint Benilde.

“We only have 11 swimmers in the lineup but these kids are all potential gold medal winners. It’s a good exposure for them, competing against their foreign counterparts. Sen­ding them abroad is part of our program for these young swimmers,” dagdag ni Papa.
