TEAM CEBU City-Cebu Blue Marlin Swimming Club bets showed they are more than just great swimmers as they won titles in the 1st Panaad Aquathlon National Invitational Age-Group Meet last Sunday at the Panaad Park and Sports Complex in Mansilingan, Bacolod City.
CBM made an immediate impact in its first try in aquathlon as 24 of its 35 total participants bagged medals, finishing with a total of 10 gold medals, 8 silvers, and 7 bronze medals.
The 16-20 years old category seemed the sweetest spot for CBM as both male and female bets emerged winners.
Leading the way was Michael Ichiro Kong, who topped the category followed by teammates Johnlo Recilla and Rafael John Dacaldacal.
Kong actually had two medals as he was also hailed champion of the Open-Mixed Category.
