Pasay City National Science High School drove the tempo and reigned in the competition as Kaeley Ardelle Dio sparked the momentum to grab the gold with a commanding 50.2 points, and Beatrice Shanele Flores carried on with 35.5 points to pocket the bronze in the Pasay Division Meet Palaro: Rhythmic Gymnastics held at the Villamor Air Base Elementary School last Thursday, December 4.

 

The agile PaSci outperformed seven contenders across multiple routines, propelling the strong dynamics across different apparatuses.

 

The former NCR Palaro 2023 delegate, Kaeley Dio, executed 11.9 points for hoop apparatus, 12.8 for clubs, 12.2 for ball, and 13.3 for ribbon to seal the lead in the overall rankings.

 

Beatrice Flores, 11, took the upper hand as she completed 9.6 points for hoop apparatus, 9.1 for clubs, 8.2 for balls, and 8.6 for ribbons to mark third place, securing both gymnasts a ticket to the National Capital Region Palaro 2026.

 

Pasay City East High School’s gymnast, the silver medalist, is also set to clash in the NCR Palaro, as she set her second ranking with 10.5 points for the hoop apparatus, 8.0 for clubs, 10.2 for ball, and 8.8 for ribbon.

 

“I was two years off the floor, and my skills haven’t progressed as much as I would have liked. What stands out the most, though, is how we were able to show the judges that we truly deserve to represent Pasay in the regionals.” Dio said, reflecting that execution was the key detail that made PaSci stand out from the others.

 

The Pascian gymnasts are now getting set for rigorous training in preparation for the NCR Palaro 2026 Rhythmic Gymnastics that is bound to spark this upcoming February.
