Axel Toni Steven Co Ngui (Axel)

SWIMMING

Coming out as champions in the UAAP swimming 2012 and breaking numerous swimming records sounds pretty hard, but Axel Toni Steven Co Ngui defied the odds and achieved these. 

This 1st year BS Life Science major is part of the Ateneo Swim Team and has been competing in swim meets since he was in 7th grade. He’s competed internationally like Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia. But given the chance to travel and leisure, Cambodia would be his destination. Although it seems like swimming seems like it takes up most of his time, he is very passionate about his studies because he wants to prove that an athlete can excel in their studies. Axel being an achiever, he is working hard to be a dean’s lister, and at the same time he gives importance to his training. Since he didn’t give time training last year, he’s putting extra effort into his sport because he wants to achieve his goal in competing in the SEA games.

Axel lives by the words “you have to give your all every time you do something.” Of course, he still gives himself the time to relax and hang out with his friends despite his busy schedule. With all this experience in his arsenal, Axel Ngui is definitely someone to watch out for in the following UAAP seasons.
