The southern region of the country surprised all and won the IV National Scholastic Sports Games that took place at the Juan Pablo Duarte Olympic Center in Santo Domingo last week. The competitors from the southern region won 68 medals (35 gold, 12 silver, 21 bronze). Instead of a trophy, the Ministry of Sports made available RD$1 million to be distributed among the regional teams so these could organize events to commemorate their participation in the competitions. The southern region team received RD$300,000 of the prize money. The eastern region came in second place with 78 medals (25 gold, 21 silver, 32 bronze), and Santo Domingo was third, with 76 medals (24 gold, 24 silver, 28 bronze). The northwest followed with 66 medals (18 gold, 28 silver, 20 bronze), and the northeast placed last with 39 medals (7 gold, 20 silver and 12 bronze). Competitions were held in track & field, softball, baseball, volleyball, and basketball.
