In the recently-concluded 20th edition of the Milo Little Olympics - Mindanao (regional championships), the Xavier University High School (XUHS) Crusader Girls badminton varsity team secured the third place out of the total 24 participating school teams.

During the semi-final round, the XUHS varsity athletes fought a good fight, as the lady crusaders kept charging on against the formidable MOGCHS badminton team to win a crucial third set match.

The team received the bronze prize during the awarding ceremonies earlier this month at the Shuttle Square, Barangay Gusa, Cagayan de Oro City.

On the other hand, the XUHS Crusader Boys badminton varsity team placed fourth out of the 32 teams who competed in the tournament. 

The XUHS boys reached the semi-final round, only to be bested by the Zamboanga del Sur Sports Academy that went all the way into the championship round.

The XUHS Athletics Office is proud of these achievements of the high school student-athletes of Xavier. ∎
