Ilocos Norte regained the top spot as it unseated defending champion Pangasinan II in the Region I Athletic Association held at the Urdaneta National High School here from March 18 to 24. | |||
Ilocos Norte school division, the perennial winner, conquered most of the sporting events amassing 617.17 points at the end of the week-long games. | |||
Coming in second was unseated champion Pangasinan II with 522.25 points, followed by Pangasinan I with 387.75 points. | |||
Regional Sports Coordinator Bartolome Teneza of the Department of Education -Regional Office I, said the point system varies in every event thus point equivalent of gold, silver and bronze medals varies in the group games, ball games and individual events. | |||
Completing the top five are La Union in fourth place with 255 points followed by San Fernando City with 163.67 points. The other finishers in descending order are the city schools division of Laoag, Dagupan, Urdaneta, Ilocos Sur Division, San Carlos, Alaminos, Candon, Batac and Vigan. | |||
Teneza said it has not been decided yet as to what school division will host the R1AA next year but Urdaneta City, thru Mayor Amadeo Perez III, promised to improve the UNHS playing field by building a swimming pool, grandstand and rubberized track oval, he said. | |||
As the R1AA is a prelude to the Palarong Pambansa which the Pangasinan will host on May 6-12, Teneza said there will be 500 athletes from Region I to compete in the national games and a total of 600 delegates to include coaches and advisers. | |||
Teneza told the Philippine Information Agency that a special games for differently- abled school children is also integrated as part of the Palarong Pambansa where the Ilocos Region is a consistent participant together with Cebu and Davao. | |||
“We are the defending champion in this category for special athletes,” he said. | |||
