Muling nagpasiklaban sa katalinuhan ang MSUans sa loob ng Mindanao State University-General Santos City (MSU-GSC) Gymnasium ng isagawa ang Academic Night na kung saan nanguna ang College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM) sa tatlong kategorya upang maghari sa nasabing gabi, Oktubre 13.
Sa pahayag ni Jon Daniel Andrada, Team Captain ng Academic team ng CNSM, ikinuwento niya ang paraan ng pagpili at paghahanda ng kanilang kolehiyo para sa Academic Night 2024.

“We prepared for weekly meetings. Even beforehand, we had a tryout to see who would join our individual competitions and team competitions. Even then, we decided who would synergize best as a team,” diin niya.
Dagdag pa rito, iginiit niyang may nalalabing araw na lamang nang makapili sila ng ilalaban sa team event, kaya masusing pag-eensayo ang kanilang naging sandigan bago sumabak sa laban.
“Actually, we chose them almost a few days before and then we practiced and practiced to synergize our team. And then for the individuals, we had help from our professors. Thank you for the support of our professors,” saad pa ni Andrada.
Binubuo ng limang kategorya ang nasabing kompetisyon, ang Individual Quiz ng Science and Technology, Mathematics, General Information, at Language and Literature at Team Quiz na may apat na miyembro.
Science and Technology Category
Matapos ang matinding tie-breaker ng CNSM at College of Agriculture (COA), napatalsik ng CNSM ang COA bilang kampeon sa Science and Technology Category.
Ayon kay Andrada, na may kursong Bachelor of Science in Biology, hindi na niya iniisip ang titulo, sa halip ay sinulit niya na lamang ang pangyayari na makaharap ang kalahok ng COA na nagwagi noong nakaraang taon sa naturang larangan.
“When I found out that we were both in first place for running for the clincher, I was actually satisfied. I said that either we will win or I will also win,” saad ni Andrada.
Dagdag pa ni Andrada, hindi niya naisip na maitatama niya ang huling tanong sa pinag-aagawang pwesto sa kompetisyon.
Binigyang-pugay din ni Andrada ang kalahok ng COA dahil sa kanilang matinding tapatan para sa kampeonato.
Sa huli, ang College of Agriculture (COA) ang itinanghal na first runner-up at Senior High School (SHS) naman bilang second runner-up.
Mathematics Category
Ipinahayag ni Mizpah Gabrielle S. Cutamora, mag-aaral ng Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, ang kanyang kagalakan matapos makamit na niya ang pagkapanalo.
“I'm very happy that I was able to redeem myself [this] year. Because it's the same for me, there are three people who have rejoined and now I'm being redeemed,” pahayag niya.
Matatandaan noong nakaraang taon, nasungkit niya ang ikatlong pwesto sa parehong kategorya.
“Second runner-up, tapos nag-tie-breaker kami sa… first runner-up, [ang] graduate studies,” paliwanag niya.
Gayunpaman, nasungkit naman ng College of Engineering (COE) ang titulong first runner up at School of Graduate Studies (SGS) naman ang nakakuha ng second runner-up.
Team Quiz
Hindi na muling nadepensahan ng COE na nakakuha ng 54 na puntos ang kampyeonato sa Team Quiz nang magdomina ang CNSM sa iskor na 94.
Ayon kay Franz Valleser, isa sa miyembro ng grupo, puno ng estratehiya ang pagsalang nila bilang isang grupo sa Intramurals 2024, Team Quiz.
“As a group, we clearly strategize everything from the seeking plan to strategize who will answer and who is our source,” pahayag niya.
Dagdag pa ni Valleser, gagawin nila ang lahat upang depensahan ang titulo sa mga susunod pa na mga taon.
“So, as a first-timer to join the academic contest, I was so glad that I defended our position as one of the top-notchers in the academic contest. And, you know, I am really, really open to extend that title in the future events,” ayon sa kaniya.
Sa huli, COE ang nakasungkit ng first runner-up at School of Graduate Studies (SGS) naman ang itinanghal na second runner-up.
Language and Literature Category
Hiyawan naman ang dinig mula sa Tycoons matapos manalo ang kanilang kolehiyo sa Language and Literature Category ng Individual event.
Ayon kay Reid Chrysler Manares, 3rd year Bachelor of Science in Accountancy, hindi niya lubos maisip ang pagkapanalo sa kompetisyon dahil ayon sa kanya kulang ang oras ng kanyang preparasyon.
“Unexpected masyado kasi nakulang yung time ko for practicing, tas ito, na first pa. Malaking chamba talaga para sa akin,” saad niya.
Ayon naman kay Francis Madas, 3rd year student ng Bachelor of Arts in Language, Culture and Society (BALCS), labis ang kanyang pasasalamat at kagalakan sa pagkapanalo ng College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) ngayong taon.
“I am grateful for them, for this experience, I have no bitter reactions or emotions, I am happy for them—winning. Bawi lang ng bawi and let's just enjoy the beauty of academics,” mensahe niya.
Samantala, nasungkit naman ng Mentors o College of Education (COED) ang first runner-up at Wizards ang second runner-up.
General Information
Itinanghal naman na kampeon ang Asteegs sa larangan ng General Information.
Ayon kay Romy Jorolan Jr., mag-aaral sa kursong Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, doble ang pagsisikap niya upang paghandaan ang nasabing kompetisyon.
“So the preparation is, since we are still reviewing in September, and we will be reviewing again in the evening. So our review is 5 to 8, then we will have an idea of what we will be doing,” kwento niya.
Ayon pa sa kaniya, buti na lamang at lumabas lahat ng kanyang pinag-aralan bago pa man ang araw ng kompetisyon.
“Ang mga gi-studyhan nako ni gawas man. Feel nako na lucky ko, but it is what it is. ‘Pag mapildi ko, it is what it is, but kung magchampion man, it is what it is,” dagdag niya.
Naibulsa naman ng College of Business Administration and Accountancy (CBAA) ang first runner-up matapos manalo sa tie-breaker nila ng CNSM na itinanghal bilang second runner-up.
