NATIONAL University shoots for its second straight title, while University of Santo Tomas hopes to reclaim the throne in the UAAP Season 86 poomsae tournament today (Monday) at the Marikina Sports Center.

The Bulldogs foiled the Growling Tigers’ date at history by capturing their first-ever championship late last year.

UST tried to claim two UAAP titles in the same year, as it won the Season 84 gold in the bubble competition last May, but breaks were not in their way.

Ceanne Rosquillo, James Lopez, and Jed Tan, sealed NU’s breakthrough title by ruling the men’s team event. The Bulldogs’ other gold came from season MVP Laeia Soria, who ruled the women’s individual category, and while also scooping two silvers.

Settling for second after a 2-1-1 haul, UST topped the mixed pair and women’s team team event.

The Tiger Jins are the most successful squad with four titles.

Ateneo tries to follow up its first-ever poomsae podium finish last year, while three-time champion De La Salle and University of the Philippines also seek to contend.
