THE province’s brightest young athletes will be heading up north as they fight for supremacy in the Cebu Provincial Meet slated from November 21 to 26 at the Municipality of Carmen.
In line with the tournament, the Cebu Provincial Sports Commission (CPSC) conducted an athletics training earlier this week at San Francisco, Camotes where the athletes were taught advanced skills and drills.
Expected to make an impact on the playing field are the defending champions Daanbantayan which is gunning for its second consecutive title, last year’s runner up Liloan and perennial contender, Consolacion.
However, CPSC Executive Director Ramil Abing is worried that some of the best athletes of the province might not be able compete in the annual meet since some will be going
to Tagum City for the Batang Pinoy National Championships slated on November 27.
“November 21 to 26 is the meet. Mag-abot sa Batang Pinoy which is Nov 27,” Abing said.
In last year’s competition held in Dalaguete, Cebu, the sporting conclave drew a massive turnout of 12,000 delegates.
The winners of the Provincial Meet will comprise the Cebu Province squad for next year’s Central Visayas Regional Athletics Association (CVIRAA) Meet.
