A grade 10 learner from Cordon National High School has bagged the first-ever gold for Isabela after lodging a commanding lead over rivals in long jump men’s category, Day 1 of the DepED Dos RISE, April 25.

 Julius U. Cadiz, 16, whose last appearance in the Valley’s biggest sports convergence was in 2018, recorded a career-high 6.39 meters, 20 centimeters ahead of the second placer from Cagayan who registered 6.19 meters.

According to Cadiz, the victory was a product of his strong desire to bring pride to his province, citing his willingness to give it his all during the 25-day intensive training just to provide the Emerald delegation the honor it deserves.
