INVOLVED in various sports partnerships, Isuzu Philippines Corporation continue to produce positive results, and a recent example is the excellent performance achieved by the Omega Pro Tri Team.
The top-notch, Cebu-based multi-sport team, Omega Pro Tri Team, whose competition-related transportation and logistical requirements are provided by IPC, has again asserted its dominant position in the country’s sporting community. The team was recently crowned as Champions in the Over-all Team Category at the third leg of the Tri United Series held last Oct. 23 at Subic Bay, Zambales.
“These victories, including taking no less than the Overall Team Category title, are a product of dedication, intensive preparation and a desire to excel and be the best at one’s chosen endeavor. Isuzu Philippines Corporation is one with the Omega Pro Tri Team in this endeavor, and we are proud to have played a key part in the team’s achievements,” said IPC Marketing Head Joseph Bautista.
Apart from the overall title win, members of the Omega Pro Tri Team also scored wins and podium finishes in their respective categories. Among the female athletes, emerging as champions in their categories were Cianyl Gonzales (Ages 18-24) and Maria Hodges (Ages 30-34). Meanwhile, Feelin Torres secured third place in the Ages 25-29 category, Lorna Amor also finished third among those aged 45 and above, and June Marq Ocana took fourth spot in the Ages 40-44 class.
For their part, the Omega Pro Tri Team’s male members also turned in outstanding results as Paul Jumamil and Kristiane Lim took the top spots in the Ages 18-24 and Ages 30-34 categories, respectively. Banjo Norte then secured second place behind his teammate in Ages 18-24, completing a 1-2 win for Omega Pro Tri Team. Also finishing on the podium were Johnny Ferniz (third place Ages 25-29) and Edwin Yu (third place Ages 35-39). Among competitors aged 45 and above, Alton Amor ended in fourth.
“With the support we are extending to Omega Pro Tri Team, it becomes clear that Isuzu not only makes vehicles that are suitable for commercial purposes but are also geared towards exciting lifestyle and sporting activities,” Bautista said.
