Article: LC hosts YMCA Provincial Acad Olympics

Lorma Colleges accommodated participants to the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) Provincial Academic Olympics held on February 23, 2010, with the theme “Striving Together to Build Young Leaders: Transforming Lives Toward Sustainable Communities.”

The event aimed to train holistically a wide spectrum of young people from La Union and to bring them together for a mutual sharing of experiences, insights, and visions. Through the youth, YMCA expects to make its missions more responsive to the needs of the times.

The competition was divided into three categories, namely, the Red Triangle Club for elementary pupils, the High-Y Club for high school students, and the College-Y Club for college students.

In the Red Triangle Club, Brain and Heart of a Christian Educational Institution, Inc. bagged the overall championship. Participants from the said school got four medals from the vocal solo, draw and tell, modern dance, and quiz bee contests.

In the High-Y Club, Saint Louis College won six gold medals from the folk dance, bible quiz bee, statistics quiz bee, extemporaneous speaking, oration, and essay writing contests, making them the overall champion.

Meanwhile, competitions in the College-Y Club were dominated by Lorma Colleges, with four gold medals to brag. The winning Lormanians were Lovely Ulpindo (essay writing), Jubille Anne Bonifacio (bible quiz bee), Clarissa Baterina (extemporaneous speaking), and Jacqueline Miranda (on-the-spot drawing).

The event champions will represent YMCA-La Union in the “Annual North Luzon Regional Academic Olympics” at Manila. They will be joined by delegates from Cagayan, Olongapo, Baguio, Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija, and Ilocos Norte.
