“I didn’t expect to win, kasi two weeks ago kakagaling kolang ng UAAP and I didn’t have time to prepare for this kasi gusto ko rin po makapag-hinga. One week po ako walang training at all,” said the third-year BS Entrepreneurship student in La Salle. Up next for the UAAP two-time bronze medalist are 200 IM and 200m backstroke, 100m backstroke events, 4x100m medley.
“I’m very glad na ito ang first gold ko, ‘tong pet event ko, and I dedicated this to the country,” said Amoguis.
