Lingayen, Pangasinan –

The Poomsae competition ended in a gloomy �inish for the participants of the Mariano Marcos State University (MMSU) as they copped four silvers and one bronze medal in the said competition during the breathtaking State Colleges and Universities Athletic Association (SCUAA) Region 1 at the jam packed Pangasinan State University (PSU) Binmaley Campus on Wednesday, November 23.

Despite the outstanding performance displayed by the MMSU Stallions Poomsae team during the Unigames; executing an amazing performance that stunned the audience, they fell short in points during the competition proper making them not able to reach the top of the spectrum.

Competitive opponents from opposing schools displayed resolute performance making them tough to beat, but Stallions tried to break through the barrier and managed to give in a good �ight. Even though the gold medal is an inch away from their grasp, they were able to claim a spot in silver and bronze in Individual Men and Women, silver in Mixed Pair and silver in Trio categories.

Karl Germane Auxerre Dizon and Alyanna Louise Coloma represented the Stallions in Individual Men and Individual Women competition proper. Dexterity of both players heated up as they drove in to capture the gold. However, the performance of the opposing team overpowered the Stallions resulting in an awe making them settle for silver and bronze respectively.

In the Mixed Pair category, Christine Joyce Ruiz and Aaron Zandler Guilermo tousled their way in to snatch the victory. Executing immense focus and mastery in movements, Ruiz and Guillermo managed to �inish a good blow. However, even with the great efforts and concentration, Ruiz and Guillermos top notch skills were dethroned by their perennial foe, going home with a silver platter.

Under the Trio Men’s category, Lysander Constantino, Guillermo and Dizon tried to pave their way in to seize the gold. They landed second spot (silver) after posing in a good �ight. Even after showing their prowess in compact and solid moves, the enemies canceled their hard work.

Lastly, Wyea Hyancinth Llantada, Coloma and Ruiz in the women’s category tried to overrule their opponents. They ended up bagging silver title as they lack points in grabbing home the gold title

The talents of the Stallion Poomsae Team as well as their great coordination �lourished but their mastery in dominating the ground is not yet complete. Their �iery determination made them capture the medals that added to MMSU Stallions’ overall standing to drive the University in seizing their debut title.
