Proving he is still the best in his class, former national team standout Neil Catiil dominated the male 18-29 age category to rule the Century Tuna National Age Group Triathlon Series recently in the Dakak Park and Beach Resort in Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Sur.

Catiil registered a time of two hours and 33 minutes in the 1K swim-30K bike-7.5K run to finish almost 20 minutes ahead of his nearest rival.
