The Puerto Princesa Hammerhead swimming team, the city’s official entry to the Hagedorn Swimming Cup G-League on May 22, emerged as the champion for the event.
The competition, held at the Ramon V. Mitra Sports Complex, was a qualifying event for the championship on July in Los Baños, Laguna. Over 200 swimmers from Southern Tagalog competed to qualify for the national race.
Hammerhead vice-president Dr. Josephine Go-Cruz said that their swimmers often spend practice time until nine in the evening.
“Our swimmers spend their whole days on a hard training. But it paid off,” Cruz said.
During the national championship last year, the Hammerhead team ranked eighth among the 75 swimming teams. For this year, the team aims to achieve a higher position.
Other winners for the swimming cup were: San Pablo Mantas (1st runner up), Cetaceans Swim Club (2nd runner up), Cavite Golden Flippers (3rd runner up) and Lipa City Aqua Phantoms (4th runner up).
