New faces dominate National Aquathlon

New faces emerged in both the standard and sprint distances races in Sunday’s 1st Philippine Aquathlon Championships held in Subic Freeport Zone that attracted 164 entries.

Track runner and Iligan native Leyann Ramo, who just graduated from University of Santo Tomas, lost ground in the 1K swim leg after keeping pace with Vicky Deldio in the first 2.5 K run but regained it in the final run leg and unleashed a final burst of speed nearing the finish line to become the country’s very first female national aquathlon champion.
