Isabela National High School’s (INHS) Ma. Isabelle Palogan, along with her teammates Sheila Marie Bulan, May Sevilla and Princess Sevilla outswam their competitors to bag the gold medal in the women’s 4 x 50 freestyle relay during the DepEd Dos Regional Invitational Sports Event (DepEd Dos RISE) held at the Cauayan Sports Complex on April 27, 2022.
They finished the race in 2:20.07, just a little faster than the silver medalist Cagayan delegation who finished in 2:20.84.
This was Palogan’s first ever regional meet appearance, but she was able to keep up with Bulan and the Sevilla sisters, who have been competing in various division and regional swimming competitions.
Palogan started training for competitive swimming in 2018 with the guidance of Alsimar Hajan, Eric Velasco, and Jeffrey Alisbo, her coaches.
The INHSian was supposed to compete in her first competition in 2019 but was put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
