Cebu is virtual champ in Batang Pinoy games

Cebu City dominated almost all the sports disciplines played after day three of the Batang Pinoy 2011 Visayas qualifying leg in Dumaguete City.
Except for archery, which was ruled by host Dumaguete City, Cebu City won the gold medals at stake in badminton, table tennis, judo, taekwondo, chess and swimming to emerge as the virtual overall champion with a day left in the event played by athletes 15 years old and below.
Excluding the second day results for swimming, lawn tennis and boxing, Cebu City has already collected 42 golds, 24 silvers and 23 bronzes in the multi-sporting event.
At second place is Bacolod City with 26 golds, 20 silvers and 19 bronzes while running third is Leyte with 18 golds, 12 silvers and 10 bronzes.
Cebu swept the gold medals at stake in badminton with Fritz Gerald Sagaad ruling the boys’ singles and Hannah Tudtud topping the girls’ singles. Sagaad later paired with Dexter Oballa to take home the boys’ doubles gold while Tudtud teamed up with Jhunah Francisco to bag the gold in the girls’ doubles.
Also claiming the golds for Cebu were Jeffrey Lauron (42 kg) and Christopher Odevere (55 kg) in judo while Dannel Jay Tormis ruled the boys’ singles and the mixed doubles gold medal with Diana Oliverio in table tennis. The gold in the girls’ singles, however, went to Emy Rose Dael of Bacolod city.
The gold medal in chess went to Jazelle Villarin in the girls category with her score of 4.5 points while Jethro Esplanada of Leyte topped the boys division with his 5.0 points.

Carmela Coran (flyweight), Aila Marie Lepon (lightweight), Micah Marie Mission (featherweight), Marie Hanz Therese Espina (welterweight) and Zosen Prajes (middleweight),James Louie Callino (finweight), Eric Garces Jr. (flyweight), Kyle John Flores (bantamweight), Jefferson Louie Callino (lightweight) and Keith Brian Fernandez (featherweight) taking home the mints. /pr
