SMASHING the record books anew with another impressive performance in the Women’s High Jump, South East Asian (SEA) Games silver medalist Narcisa Atienza led the way to another successful Milo National Open Track and Field Championship campaign for UST with a two gold-medal finish last May 1 to 4 at the Rizal Memorial Field.

Atienza bested her own previous 1.74 record after easily dominating her feeble opposition to put up a new record of 1.75m for the gold.

WHEN the king of the UAAP jungle visited the Queen City of the South last April 20-27, everyone expected no less than an explosive clash – a battle royale among the finest collegiate athletes from all over the country. And when the battle-smoke cleared in this year’s Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA) wars, the 29-time over-all champion University of Santo Tomas stood tall above all with its 20 golds, 20 silvers and 20 bronzes.

EAGER to improve their lukewarm fourth-place finish last season, the UST Lady Booters kicked off their pre-season by upending a pesky Baguio A team, 4-3, to claim the Kick Sand Beach Football Open Tournament last April 28 at Subic Bay, Olongapo City.

Missing the services of four key players, including team captain and national mainstay Alelie Bonifacio, the Tigresses were easily manhandled by Baguio A in the elimination round as they were subdued twice by the three-time defending champions.
