The Philippine Swimming League (PSL) contingent bagged a total of 55 medals—13 gold, 31 silver and 11 bronze—highlighted by six new records in the 2017 Japan Age-Group Swimming Championship held at the St. Mary’s International School swimming pool in Tokyo, Japan. Last year’s PSL Female Promising Swimmer awardee Micaela Jasmine Mojdeh of Immaculate Heart of Mary College-Parañaque led the charge of the team as she won six gold and one silver, and notched five new records in the girls’ 9-10 category. Winning 13 gold medals in a tough field like this is a huge achievement for us. Our swimmers proved that we could be at par with those great swimmers from other countries. We just need to give them proper training and exposure just like what we’re doing in PSL,” said PSL President Susan Papa.
