THE Notre Dame of Marbel University (NDMU) will defend its title when the 7th Dolan Sprint sa Kadayawan Inter-School Swimming Competition plunges into action on Saturday starting at 8 a.m. at the Ladislawa Garden Village clubhouse in Buhangin.
Chief organizer Darren Evangelista of the Evangelista Aquatics and Sports Management Inc. (Easmi), appearing in Thursday's regular Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn, said NDMU is fielding some 50 swimmers in the event.
"It's one huge field where Davao bets will have to face stiff competition not only from NDMU but also those coming from Polomolok, General Santos City and Kidapawan City. I think that region alone has three Palarong Pambansa champions who will compete," Evangelista said.
He said they are expecting some 130 tankers from all over the region in the event presented by Dolan in cooperation with Growee Multivitamins.
"A total of 50 events are entered in the one-day event featuring the six years old and under, seven to nine, 10-12, 13-14 and 15-above categories," Evangelista said.
He said the top three teams based on points will receive trophies. He added a gold medal is equivalent to seven points, a silver is worth seven points and bronze is six points. Points of five, four, three, two and one will be awarded to the next five finishers in every event.
"Gold, silver and bronze medals will also be given away to the top three placers. The most outstanding swimmer per category, however, will still be determined based on the total number of points. A participant can only swim up to five events though," Evangelista said.
Interested participants may still sign up until today. For inquiry, contact the Easmi office at (082) 301-6188.
