While Bacolodnon gymnast Kiana Marie Alagaban expressed disappointment with the cancellation of this year’s Western Visayas Regional Athletic Association (WVRAA) Meet, the Bacolod Tay Tung High School standout said she is looking to join the national team training pool.
“I still do not know if I will still play in provincial meet next year,” she said. “I will be moving up to [the] senior category this year, so, my focus will be on entering the national training pool.”
Alagaban’s head coach and mother, Ma. Kristina Alagaban, said they are taking aim at the Philippine National Games; however, the event will likely be suspended due to ongoing concerns surrounding the coronavirus disease, or Covid-19.
Despite the likely outcome, she noted, “Kiana will just keep on training to be ready.”/ASC, WDJ
