RECRUITMENT woes and residency issues continue to haunt UST as it failed to regain the UAAP overall championship, which went to De La Salle University for the second straight season.

The Growling Tigers collected a total of 274 points, after getting only two gold medals in women’s taekwondo and poomsae, and a league-high eight silver medals in men’s basketball, beach volleyball, athletics, women’s fencing, men’s taekwondo and women’s football. La Salle finished with 289 points.

UST MAY have finished second to De La Salle University anew in the UAAP seniors division overall championship, but its 48 international athlete awardees may well have made up for the disappointing news.

With five titles in men’s and women’s basketball, table tennis, men’s taekwondo and women’s chess, La Salle ruled Season 76 with 289 points, while UST, which had championships in women’s taekwondo and poomsae, finished with 274 points.

UST’s international awardees, who were feted along with other athletes during the UAAP Season 76 closing ceremonies at the Century Park Hotel in Manila last Mar. 19, were the most number of athletes who competed abroad from a single school.
