The University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) has mourned the passing of high school trackster Mark Dave Nicolas of the Adamson University boys’ athletics team.
Nicolas was 18 years old.
The Ilocos Norte standout set a new Palarong Pambansa record in the boys’ 800-meter run last year at 1:53.20. He also copped a silver medal at the 14th ASEAN School Games in Brunei.
“The UAAP family is deeply saddened by the passing of Mark Dave Nicolas of the Adamson Boys’ Athletics Team,” the league said in a post.
“We extend our sincerest condolences to his bereaved family, friends, and teammates.”
Ilocos Norte Governor Cecilia Araneta Marcos also offered her condolences with the Nicolas family.
“A true pride of Ilocos Norte, you will be remembered for your passion, discipline, and sportsmanship. Your legacy lives on in the aspiring athletes you inspired and in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing you,” she said in a post.
