AthC Update #1: Pep Rally + UAAP Basketball and UAAP Football News

On January 20, 2023, the Ateneo de Manila Senior High School (ASHS) Athletes’ Council (AthC), along with the ASHS community, held a spirited Pep Rally to welcome our varsity athletes with pride and honor and to instill a fighting spirit in support of the Blue and White. The Pep Rally was an initiative to introduce all our varsity teams, especially those who have represented or will represent the school in tournaments such as the UAAP, PRADA, PAYA, RIFA, and other notable tournaments this School Year.

The Ateneo HS Blue Babble Battalion kicked off the event with an energetic performance. The varsity athletes then marched around the ASHS building while the Battalion's percussion band played on the first floor. The Ateneo chants were shouted in unison by all athletes. Mrs. Czel Lacson gave the introductory remarks, which were then followed by Mrs. Jennifer Concepcion's motivational speech. Fr. Ruben Reyes SJ then blessed the athletes. The program closed with the singing of the “Song for Mary” by the ASHS Community.

The varsity teams recognized during the Pep Rally were the following: Badminton, Baseball, Basketball (boys and girls), Chess, Fencing, Football, Golf, Handball, Judo, Lawn Tennis, Swimming (boys and girls), Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Track and Field, Ultimate Frisbee, and Volleyball (boys and girls).
