The final installment of this three-part series looks into Ateneo’s dominance in Women’s Swimming, a budding dynasty in Women’s Badminton, an incredible comeback from the Men’s Swimming Team, and Julian Roxas’s championship-clinching header.

OVER THE last decade, the journey to pole position has been nothing short of eventful for the Blue and White. In the last three years alone, they have continued to shatter records and build on existing legacies in the University Athletic Association of the Philippines’ (UAAP) swimming, badminton, and football events. The colors Blue and White have bled through swimming pools, courts, and pitches as Atenean athletes continue to triumph in competitive sports. Moments of glory and memories of championships have proven that Ateneo is—and will continue to be—a force to be reckoned with within and beyond the UAAP. As the decade came to an end, here are some of Ateneo’s best moments from Seasons 80 to 82.
