The DLSU Dragon Boat Team
2013
DLSAA Lasallian Sports Achievement Awardee
Outstanding victories in local and international competitions
For a country surrounded by bodies of water in varying forms, it is a wonder how water sports are not as embraced by the public, as much as they do team sports such as basketball, volleyball and football. This is already changing. The feats of the DLSU dragon boat team have found their way into the news and have gained the attention of sports fans. The team has become a threat to other dragon boat teams in the country, given its constant strong showing in leading competitions in Boracay, Zambales and Laguna. They have also raced in Shanghai, China and Penang, Malaysia, earning a gold for the country in the latter.
