๐๐๐๐๐๐ | The spirit of athletic excellence and unity was strongly demonstrated during the recently concluded Region II Private Schools Athletic Association (PRISAA) 2026, where student-athletes representing Cauayan City delivered a remarkable performance in the regional sporting event. The delegation was composed of athletes from Isabela Colleges Inc. (IC), STI College- Cauayan City (STI), Isabela Colleges of Arts and Technology (ICAT), Our Lady of the Pillar CollegeโCauayan City (OLPCC), and University of Perpetual Help System-Cauayan City Campus (UPHS), who collectively carried the banner of the city in the competition.
After several days of intense and highly competitive matches across different sporting disciplines, the Cauayan City delegation proudly secured the 2nd Runner-Up overall title in the Seniorโs Division. The athletes amassed an impressive total of 20 Gold medals, 47 Silver medals, and 22 Bronze medals, a testament to their dedication, preparation, and determination throughout the tournament.
The regional competition brought together private educational institutions from across Region II, providing a platform for student-athletes to showcase their skills, discipline, and sportsmanship. Competing against equally talented participants from other provinces and cities, the Cauayan City athletes demonstrated resilience and commitment in every event they participated in, consistently striving for excellence.
The delegation represented a collective effort from the participating institutionsโIsabela Colleges Inc., STI, ICAT, OLPCC, and UPHSโwith each school contributing talented athletes who played vital roles in the overall achievement of the team. The success of the delegation was not attributed to any single institution but rather reflected the shared dedication and collaboration among the schools that represented Cauayan City.
Throughout the tournament, the athletes exemplified teamwork, discipline, and perseverance, qualities that define the true essence of sportsmanship. Behind their accomplishments were the tireless efforts of their coaches, trainers, and school administrators who guided and supported them throughout their preparation and participation in the event.
Beyond the pursuit of medals and rankings, the Region II PRISAA 2026 served as a meaningful venue for strengthening camaraderie among private schools in the region. The event highlighted the importance of holistic student development, where academic institutions encourage excellence not only in the classroom but also in athletics and character-building activities.
The 2nd Runner-Up finish of the Cauayan City delegation in the Seniorโs Division stands as a significant milestone, reflecting the growing competitiveness and athletic potential of its student-athletes. Their achievements bring pride not only to their respective institutions but also to the entire city they represented.
The community likewise extends its heartfelt congratulations to the athletes who successfully secured their places in the National PRISAA 2026, where they will once again represent the region on a larger stage. Their advancement reflects the culmination of hard work, discipline, and unwavering dedication to their respective sports. As they prepare for the national arena, they carry with them not only their personal aspirations but also the pride and support of their schools and communities.
Equally deserving of recognition are the athletes who came just one step away from qualifying for the national competition. Their efforts, determination, and courage throughout the regional tournament remain commendable. While the journey to the next stage may pause for now, their experiences serve as valuable lessons and motivation. As they take time to rest and reflect, they are encouraged to return stronger, more determined, and ready to rise again in the future competitions that await them.
As the curtains close on this yearโs regional athletic meet, the accomplishments of the Cauayan City athletes remain a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through unity, perseverance, and shared commitment to excellence. Their performance in the Region II PRISAA 2026 continues to inspire the academic community and future generations of student-athletes who aspire to carry forward the same passion and determination in the field of sports.
