The
Cebu-PRISAA team is expected to dominate again the Private
Schools Atletics Association (Prisaa) regional meet right
in their own turf early next month.
Region
7 Prisaa Secretariat head Bernard Ricablanca presided over
a solidarity meeting last Jan. 9 to finalize the coming event,
which was hosted by Tagblaran City last year.
The
defending champion Cebu-Prisaa team is expected to meet stiff
opposition from Tagbilaran and Dumaguete in its quest to represent
region 7 anew in the national meet in Zamboanga City. Two
other participating teams come from Negros Oriental and Bohol.
The Cebuanos, however, are heavily favored to retain the overall
championship.
The
Cesafi dancesport, on the other hand, will finally be held
on Feb. 8 during the opening of the regional meet at the New
Cebu Coliseum.

The
competition is open to high school and collegiate dancers
who will vie in the standard category.
The
high school level is open to all athletes including
those who have competed in national and international
contests while the collegiate class open only to athletes
who have not seen action in any international meet.
The
collegiate level is a qualifying event where winners
represent Region 7 n the National Prisaa in Zamboanga
City this July.
The
high school level meanwhile, remains a non-qualifying
event, since the National Prisaa is only open to collegiate
players.

Defending
champion, University of Cebu leads the dancesport class along
with University of Souther Philippines Foundation, University
of San Carlos, University of the Visayas and University of
San Jose-Recoletos.
Meanwhile,
Ricablanca clarified football is not a first time event in
the annual meet contrary to earlier reports since it already
debuted in Tagbilaran City, Bohol last year with Dumaguete
City as champion. Dumaguete eventually placed third in the
national final.
