Vaughn Andre Aquino dashed to victory in the boys’ 12-year category, snagging the country’s first three gold medals in the tournament that drew more than 600 tankers from different parts of the globe. He also splashed his way to gold medals in 100m breaststroke via a 1:21.26 showing and in 200m Individual Medley in 2:40.06. Sales added two silver medals in 100m IM (1:26.66) and 50m backstroke (40.27) as well as Aquino who placed second in the 100m freestyle (1:04.12) while Arbeen Miguel Thruelen got a bronze in the boys’ 12-year 100m backstroke (1:16.13). “It’s a good start but we’re optimistic that we’ll win more gold medals in the next events especially Jacinto in his other backstroke events. The field is really though with the presence of powerhouse teams from different parts of the region,” said PSL President Susan Papa.
