- Caecent No-ot Magsumbol, Rafael S. Alas III -
The track and field team took the cudgels for the University of Cebu Webmasters and Sacred Heart School-Jesuit as they took the lead in their respective divisions in the 10th Milo Little Olympics here.

Today, competitions in all the events contested will take a breather and tough action will resume next weekend, still at their respective venues.

Yesterday, the Webmasters were simply dominant in the secondary track and field competition as they closed the second day of competition with 17 gold medals.

Leading the charge are seniors Ken Werner Villaruel and Annabel Nuñez, junior Stephanie Sanico and freshman Marjorie Ann Sy, who won their second gold medals in their respective events.

Villaruel, who ruled the 1,500m run the other day, added the 800m title to his collection, while Nuñez edged teammate Angela Labajo to win the 200m gold in 28.06 seconds.

Nuñez, who is looking forward to win her third individual gold medal on Saturday, then stunned teammate Sheena Gacayan to reign in the 800m run.

Sanico, the gold medal winner in shot put the other day, extended her dominance in the discus throw event, heaving 25.65 meters for the gold even as teammate Roxanne Camay settled for silver in 21.93m.

Sy, for her part, topped in the 400m hurdles and high jump, over teammate Almira Gay Sadaya.

Yesterday also saw the gold medal performances of freshman Carl Jeannette Malazarte in the 3,000m steeplechase, Jhim Benedict Ygot in the 200m, Dharl Pitogo and Irin Baluran in long jump.

Over at the Cebu City Aquatic Center, the Webmasters won four gold medals.

Dianne Cañeda topped in the 400m individual medley while Jefrey Yana ruled the 100m butterfly race.

The 4x100m relay for both boys and girls also doled out gold medals.

Sacred Heart Jesuits, on the other hand, also smoked the competition in the track and field events with Timothy Chu winning all three gold medals.

Chu clocked 28.66sec to win the 200m over teammate Seje Sakata, who timed 29.47sec.

He then claimed the gold medal in long jump with a distance of 4.19 meters. The other day, he topped in high jump, clearing a height of 1.15m.
UV TOPS IN GYMNASTICS
Meanwhile, the University of the Visayas-Main Campus romped off with eight gold medals to top in the secondary gymnastics event.

Team UV took all the six gold medals in the Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics (RSG) event behind the efforts of Mary Mae Paca, who won in the rope, hoop, ball and individual all around and Vinnette Marie Pacaña in the ribbon discipline.

The team also ran away with two gold medals in the Women's Artistic Gymnastics (WAG) with Naomi Soco in the balance beam and the team competition.

University of Southern Philippines-Foundation was the top performer in the WAG event.

Renatina Lipasana won in the floor, vault and individual all around.

In the elementary division, UV, USPF and Paref Springdale grabbed three gold medals.

UV pulled off the gold in the floor exercise behind Ara Marie Bantugan and balance beam and individual all around by Rosan Ceniza.

USPF topped in the hoop and ball by Filvert Gonzales and team competition in the WAG.

Paref Springdale, on the other hand, leaned on Mary Carmelle Garovillo who won in the rope, ball and individual all around (RSG).
ECHAVEZ BAGS FIVE GOLDS IN SWIMMING
Loren Dale Echavez of Sotero Cabahug Forum for Literacy (SCFL) is the top achiever in the swimming event with five gold medals.

She topped in the 200m freestyle, 50m breaststroke, 50m freestyle, 200m IM and 50m butterfly.

She accounted for all the five gold medals that SCFL won after two days of skirmishes.
TABLE TENNIS
In table tennis, Colegio del Santo Niño spearheads the elementary division after winning a gold and a silver in the doubles competition.

The tandem of Nicole Lopez and Marie Kho claimed the gold in the girls doubles after beating Guadalupe's Kate Fresha Tagalog and Yvonne Kim Petallo in straight sets, 11-8, 11-7,11-4.

Santo Niño, however, failed to make a double victory with last year's Most Outstanding Athlete Jean Phillippe Honoridez and Arriola failing to hang on in the mixed doubles, bowing to Pardo's Jenrie Balcorza and Aichael Myles Dicdican, 8-11, 10-12, 11-9, 11-9, 11-7.

On the other hand, Mabolo District has four finalists in the singles competition while Pardo, Talamban and Tisa will have one bet each in the championships.

In the secondary level, its all UC cast in the finals with sisters Mary Angelie and Mary Grace Motel going up against each other while Benedict Gantuangko and Jonathan Jacalan tangle in the boys' division.
