Talents delight officials as 2018 Loya Milk Swim meet ends in Lagos
The Lagos edition of the Loya Milk Secondary School
Swimming Competition season three held last weekend and it recorded a perfect
completion rate, an accomplishment which officials described as a pointer to
the enormous potential of Nigeria in the sport and a boost to the sponsors -
Loya Milk, a premium brand of Promasidor Nigeria Limited, makers of Cowbell
Milk, Miksi Milk, Top Tea, Onga and other quality products.
David Oyekan, a swimmer and coach at Meadow Hall School, said the
professionalism and speed exhibited by the contestants was rare among amateurs
of their age. He added that they would do much better if given more attention
and training.
Ten schools competed for a total of 18 medals in 25 metres
freestyle for boys and girls, 50 metres freestyle for boys and girls, 100
metres relay for boys and girls.
The participating schools include American International School,
British International School, Children’s International School and Chrisland
Schools.
Others
were Edgewood College, Emerald High School, Grange School, Greenspring School,
Straightgate College and Meadow Hall School.
British
International won two gold, one silver and two bronze medals; while Children’s
International won two gold and two silver medals.
Edgewood,
Greenspring, Grange, Chrisland, American International and Meadow Hall also
featured on the medal chart.
Reviewing
the three-year old competition, Marketing Manager Promasidor, Biodun Ayodeji
said the company would evaluate the initiative with a view to identifying areas
of improvement. He assured that the company was committed to sustaining the
competition.
Ayodeji
stated: “We are very consistent in our strategies. So, we are committed to the
success of the initiative. We started this, two years ago with a single
location. We extended to two locations last year, and this year we are doing
four.
“We
may maintain the number of locations next year while reviewing the prizes
upwardly. We may also do two instead of one competition in some locations to
give more schools the opportunity to participate. We will consider other
options such as partnering relevant clubs,” he further said.
