Student-athletes from Tarlac Agricultural University (TAU) have secured their places in the Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA) National Finals after outstanding performances in the qualifying rounds held in Pasig City on 27 September. Their success in the preliminaries guarantees a strong TAU representation at the championship events.
In the Under-20 category, the menβs 4x400m relay team earned their spot in the finals with a commanding performance. The quartet of Aljone S. Doctor, John Raven C. Villa, Merson Abarca, and Jhaypee Maglalang represented the University. Doctor also qualified individually for the 800-meter run final, proving his versatility by succeeding in both events.
The TAU presence will also be felt in the Open Category, as the Mixed 4x100m Relay team advanced decisively. The team of Maria Dolores T. Pascua, Iris Aira C. Quilapio, Ezra King P. Manansala, and Benjamin V. Pascacio delivered a standout performance to book their ticket to the final round of competition.
A reserve pool, including Lady Heart Atmosfera, Mark Joshua E. Pacada, Gian Marco Casabal, and Jem-Jen C. Garcia, has been designated to support the qualified athletes. With their finals berths officially secured, the TAU qualifiers will now enter the final phase of preparation for the national championships on 4-5 October.
TAU President Dr. Silverio Ramon DC. Salunson congratulated the athletes, coaches, and the entire Sports Development Office (SDO) for the multiple victories. βWe will continue to support our students not only in their academic development but also in the extracurricular activities, especially those that seek to develop them holistically,β Dr. Salunson conveyed.
