Bulldog Freshman Ryan Rodney A. Jacolo gets National University into the 2010 Manila H.S. Boys Table Tennis Team

The Competition.
The Manila Meet is a part of the ladder competition conducted by DepEd culminating in the yearly Palarong Pambansa held every summer.

The Acid Test.
NASH, a 12-year old NU freshman and a 2-time Palarong Pambansa veteran in the Elementary Division (formerly from Quezon City), finished the 17U tournament with a 7-2 win/loss record. Mentored by NU Headcoach Judit Yulde, NASH had a perfect Eliminations Round. He was set back once in the Round of 16 but fought back hard to prevail in the Quarterfinals. NASH entered the Magic 4 bracket with a good 6-1 card, sneaked past Daniel Cua in the semis, but lost his next match to Walden Ledesma who went on to bag the Silver Medal.

The Victory
Ranking 3rd in a field of 32 after 3 days of grueling action wasn't a bad start for NASH (Ryan Rodney A. Jacolo) in his maiden campaign in this year's Manila Meet Table Tennis Competition for H.S. Boys.






The Results.
Top 4 players coming from both public and private schools were selected to compete for the City of Manila in the NCR Meet in February next year.
Champion : Michael Villamor (Arellano University)
2nd Place : Walden Ledesma (Chiang Kai Shek School)
3rd Place : Ryan Rodney Jacolo (National University)
4th Place : Daniel Cua (St. Stephen)


2 firsts for NASH:
This is the first time the National University join the Manila Meet.
This is NASH's first ever try-out for the Manila H.S. Boys Table Tennis Team.

Not bad for a Bronze Medal...
