CEBU CITY, Philippines — The Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) women’s triathlon bronze medalist, Raven Faith Alcoseba, displayed her prowess in her forte in swimming by hauling two bronze medals in the UAAP Season 85 swimming competition at the Teofilo Yldefonso Swimming Pool in Manila last Thursday, Nov. 24, 2022.

The 19-year-old Cebuana from Talisay City bagged the bronze medal in the women’s 800-meter freestyle and the women’s 800-m freestyle relay as she suited up for the De La Salle University (DLSU).

Alcoseba’s teammate Xiandi Chua topped the women’s 800m freestyle in 9:26.53. 

In the women’s 800-m freestyle relay, Alcoseba teamed up with Nichole Evangelista, Audrey Chua, and Samantha Banas to earn the bronze medal. 

Ateneo’s Samantha Therese Coronel, Nirel Marie Ibarra, Sofia Annika Isip, and Portia Kate Doragos grabbed the silver medal.
