2nd National Students Weightlifting Championship Tryout Qualifying to Taipei Universiade 2017

Sports Editor: Ed Andaya (People's Tonight)
​February 15, 2017


CEBU City (Philippines) --  Seven  weightlifters  -- six  men and one female -- topped the search for the top weightlifters in the country  conducted  by  the Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP) last Saturday, Feb. 11  at the Cebu Coliseum Weightlifting.
Dubbed as  the  second National Students Weightlifting Championships, the  event serves as the  qualifying  round  to the 29th Summer Universiade in Taipei scheduled  on Aug.19-30. 

Of  the  seven, only one of them was a  female contestant in Annalou Polistico, who had a best lift of 40 kg in  the  snatch and a 50 kg in the clear and jerk.
    
While only Polistico braved to join the tryouts in the female division, it  turned out that the most promising  female weightlifter  could still be known in a  year time as 17-year old Elreen Ann Ando of Hipodromo, Cebu  City and a 3rd year high high school  student of UC, is close  to follow the footsteps of Rio de  Janeiro Olympics silver medalist Hidilyn Diaz. 
    
Ando acted as loader in last Saturday’s event as she is not yet qualified to join the tryout because the  age limit is at least 18-25 years old. 
    
But according to technical announcer Danny Catingub, an official of  the Cebu Weightlifting Association who is closely monitoring the progress of Ando's training, he said that Ando can easily become the country's best female weightlifter if given the proper exposure. 
    
Catingub said  that Diaz had all praises to Ando because  “the said teenager can also do what Diaz did in the Rio Olympics.”
    
Those  who showed  their best in   their respective weight categories in the men's division were Clark  Cuico (56- kg. cat), Arvin Iba  (69 kg cat), Elie Perez (69kg cat), Rue Collen Pabuaya  (85 kg cat), Kurk Kuffka Abala (94 kg cat), and Kevin Renzo Nisnisan (105+kg cat).
    
Cuico had the best lift of 90 kg in the snatch and had 120 kg in the clear and jerk while Iba had 80 kg in snatch and 105 kg in the clear and jerk.
    
Perez, the lone participant from Bohol, made the most impressive  performance as he lifted 87 kg in the snatch and had a mind-boggling 122 kg in the clear and jerk.
    
Pabuaya lifted 85 kg in the snatch while 103 kg in the clear and  jerk, Abala was also impressive with his best lift of 93 kg in the snatch and the second bet of 110 kg in the clear and jerk even as Nisnisan had an even 90-90 kg in both the snatch and clear and jerk sequences or stances.
    
The  tryout was supervised by FESSAP officials  Cecille  Sarmiento and  Kelly Rojas. (gcl)

According to Atty. Estenzo, the 1st National Students Weightlifting Championship will be an annual event in the FESSAP sports calendar in cooperation with CESAFI.

 “Our member schools such as University of San Carlos, University of Visayas, San Jose Recoletos, University of Cebu and others can be a major source.  We are also sending invitations to schools from the northern part of the country which have solid program for weightlifting that can develop talents for local and international competitions.”

Weightlifter  Kelly Kaye  Rojas  of  University of  San Jose  Recoletos (USJR) became the newest Filipino  athlete  to earn the right to  represent the country  in the prestigious competition set    July 6-17, 2013.


Rojas  crowned   herself  as  the  women’s 48-kgs champion  in  the  national students  weightlifting competition   hosted by the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. (CESAFI) in cooperation with the Federation of School Sports Association of the Philippines (FESSAP).


Rojas defeated   entries  from   Universidad de Zamboanga, Guagua National Colleges of  Pampanga, Holy  Name University  of Bohol,  PMI Colleges of  Tagbilaran City, University of   Cebu and  National Capital Region  (NCR)  representative  University of  East during the week-long  event held  at  the  University of Cebu campus.


The weightlifting competitions  were organized by Atty. Baldomero Estenzo of    University of Cebu, with  Felix Tiukinhoy, who is also  the CESAFI commissioner, as  the executive director.


The other officials who supervised the Cebu event were  tournament  director   Danny Catingub and  members  Jess Himotas of University of San  Jose Recoletos, Ramon Solis and  Bong Atilano of Universidad  de Zamboanga.


The  competition is  fully supported by  Healthy Options, H2O Technologies Philippines Inc, AgriNurture, Inc.,  San Miguel Corporation,  Bestank and Cobra  Energy Drink.


FESSAP president David Ong congratulated the  organizing committee   members for  the successful staging of the FESSAP-supported weightlifting event.


Ong also announced that  the other qualifying tournaments in other sports, notably  archery, chess, badminton, table tennis, tennis, and fencing will soon be held in  different venues.


In 2013   Kazan Universiade,  the   Philippines will  participate    in  11 sports -- 10 compulsory and one  optional --  in   the  prestigious, two-week  long sports  and cultural  festival  being organized  by the International University Sports  Federation (FISU).


The Universiade is considered  as  the second  biggest sporting event next only to the Olympic  Games.

In  2013,   more than  13,500  athletes  and  officials  from a  record 170 countries   are expected to converge in  Kazan.
