ISM Athletics

Week 30 Mar 24-28, 2025

This Friday Mar 28 we host our annual ISM Twilight T&F meet. This meet always has a great atmosphere and will be the concluding meet for our MS/HS T&F domestic program. It will provide a great opportunity for a final hit out for our varsity team going to IASAS in ISKL in competitive conditions. Good luck to all our MS/HS T&F athletes. T&F training will continue up to the Easter break for MS and until the HS IASAS team departs for ISKL on Wed Apr 9th. Good luck Bearcats!

Well done to our MS/HS Boys Badminton teams that took part in a great day of badminton at ISM last Saturday Mar 22, with 15 teams competing and 200 boys from school all over Manila involved. All gyms were used for our local invitational and our varsity team placed 3rd. A big thanks to all the players, coaches and organizing group for what was a great day of badminton.

Results summary from the BSM gymnastics meet are posted to the gymnastics page on this website. Well done to all our Bearcat gymnasts and coaches. Our gymnasts will now be focusing on preparation for the Bangkok meet May 9-11 and then our final meet of the year our own ISM Goodwill Meet on May 17. Last week we said farewell to Coach Nelson Santos who worked with our team since 2014. Coach Nelson has moved to Singapore to take up a gymnastics coaching position and we wish him well in his future endeavors. 

Sailfish swimmers will be competing at BSM this Saturday, good luck to all those who entered. A reminder that our ISM Spring swim meet at the end of April is coming up soon and swimmers who wish to swim must meet the training requirements to be selected for this meet. The training requirements are clearly articulated on the Sailfish website. Please speak with Coach Hazel if you have any questions.

Our wall climbing team is currently competing in Singapore at the UWC bouldering competition. Climbers left Wed and will compete in a series of challenging events Thurs/Fri and return home Saturday. We shall post a results summary on the climbing team page on the website next week.
