CEBU CITY, Philippines — The University of Cebu (UC) Webmasters showed why they’re a formidable athletics powerhouse in Cebu, racking up 11 gold medals in the ongoing 33rd Cebu City Olympics on Sunday, November 23, at the Cebu City Sports Center (CCSC) oval.
Siblings Ken Amber and Myles Tutor accounted for four of those wins. Ken Amber dominated the secondary girls division with victories in the 100-meter, 200m, and 400m runs, while Myles clinched the secondary boys 200m title.
Mohini Sadaya added two golds for UC after topping the secondary girls 100m hurdles and long jump. Sean Kyle Carillo followed with wins in the 400m and 800m. John Wynn Iwata in the 5,000m and Enrico Daño in the long jump rounded out UC’s medal haul for the day.
The San Carlos School of Cebu (SCSC) Warriors, formerly known as the University of San Carlos (USC), picked up four golds courtesy of Mellanie Pulgo in the secondary girls 800m and 1,500m, and Ramil Dela Peña in the 110m hurdles and 400m hurdles.
Bolongaita remains dominant in javelin event
David Bolongaita of Unit 9 (Abellana National School) also made his mark with golds in shot put and javelin. He recently drew attention by setting a new Batang Pinoy record in the javelin event last October in General Santos City.
