The air was heavy, as if it carried the weight of unspoken disappointment. Clouds hung low, mirroring the mood of the delegates. Faces once bright with anticipation now reflected uncertainty and quiet doubt. On the second day of the 14th FASMin Congress 2026 in Tangub City, students from Jose Rizal Memorial State UniversityโKatipunan Campus (JRMSU-KC) were facing a tough reality as they were ranked 15th out of 21 schools.
With the crop-based and literary competitions already halfway done, the early results were not in their favor. Many felt disappointed, and some even started to doubt if they could still make it to the top. The excitement from the first day slowly faded, replaced by silence and worry. But even in that moment, not everyone gave up.
The Rodeo Team held on to their determination. While others were feeling discouraged, they chose to stay focused and continue fighting. They believed that the competition was not yet over and they proved it on the third day. One by one, and as a team, members of the Rodeo Team in cattle and non-cattle events delivered strong performances. With several of them secured top places, and some even winning 1st place. Their victories brought back energy and hope to the entire delegation.
Because of this, the overall standing of JRMSU-KC started to improve.
From being 15th, the university climbed up to 7th place by the end of the congress. It was a big jump and a proud moment for the team, especially since they also improved from last yearโs 9th-place finish. More than the rankings, their experience showed something important: even when things donโt go as planned, giving up is not the answer.
Sometimes, all it takes is one group to stay strong and remind everyone to keep going. For JRMSU-KC, the Rodeo Team became that reminderโproving that a setback can still lead to a strong comeback.
