MANILA, Philippines – Limang ginto ang kinuha ni Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh sa 2015 Private Schools Association of Parañaque City Meet sa Olivarez swimming pool sa Sucat.
Sa mga events na napanalunan ay gumawa rin ng bagong marka ang Philippine Swimming League (PSL) standout na si Mojdeh sa 50-meter breaststroke, 41.93 seconds at sa 100m breaststroke sa 1:34.98.
Ang siyam na taong gulang na si Mojdeh na ginawaran dati ng PSL bilang Rookie of the Year ay kampeon din sa 100m butterfly (1:29.58), 50m butterfly (37.42) at 200m Individual Medley (2:59.51).
“She was amazing in breaststroke. Her 41.93-second time at the age of nine is not a joke. We will try to sustain her program and she must enjoy her swimming while developing her,” wika ni PSL president Susan Papa sa tanker na mag-aaral ng Immaculate Heart of Mary College-Parañaque.
“Jasmine is being recruited by a school in Alabang, by a coach in the other association and being offered good perks like full scholarship, allowance and other stuff. But we want Jasmine to be in the right path so her parents Modj and Joan humbly forego the offer and say ‘thanks, but no thanks’. We should learn our lessons on our good swimmers being recruited in a wrong time,” dagdag ni Papa.
Malaki ang potential ni Mojdeh dahil itinanghal din siya bilang Most Outstanding Swimmer sa 2015 Indian Ocean All-Star Challenge sa Perth, Australia, Hong Kong Stingrays Invitational Swimming Meet, Singapore Invitational Swimming Championship at Singapore Midget Meet.
