Every three years, the
Ateneo de Manila University awards alumni who excelled in sports during their school days. They are inducted into the Ateneo Sports Hall of Fame, which has a room named after it in the
Moro Lorenzo Sports Center. Some awardees donated their sports memorabilia—medals, trophies, jackets and jerseys—which are displayed in cases with their photo and a write-up of their sports accomplishments. Aside from recognizing the men and women who played for the school, the award, the room, and the displays also aim to inspire current student-athletes who train at the center to excel in their own sports.
Congratulations for the winner! It's a fabulous exemple to follow, sports are very important in all ages!

ReplyDeleteI am a sports fan, so I like the idea of honoring the players who were the very best in their sports. This young man has a great smile.

That's nice and I have nothing against this kind of recognition, but I can't help wonder if there is also an Ateneo Academic Hall of Fame, which is vastly more important in my opinion. But academics don't bring the alumni money. Darn. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Bet his mum is very proud
