I MAS METGOT: SALAS, PEREDA NAMED GUAM’S STRONGEST

The I Mas Megtot Competition took over the Paseo Grounds all-day Saturday with 12 competitors, six male and six female, powering through six events for the title of strongest on Guam.

Salas and Pereda were pushed towards their final event of the day as Ariel Delos Reyes and April Flores were threatening to possibly take the top spot. Pereda showed out in the mini-truck lift totaling 31 lifts and Salas did enough to secure his spot on the final lifts of the day.

QUICK HITS

Ashley Samaniego and the UCLA Bruins are heading to the NCAA Women’s Sweet 16.
The 2007 Simon Sanchez graduate is in his first year with the Bruins women’s basketball team as the Director of Athletic Performance. This after years at California State University, Northridge in the same capacity.
Coach Ash must be bringing some goodness to the Bruins as UCLA is currently ranked #1 in the country and earned its first No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in program history.
