As KLD enters the second semester of Academic Year 2025-2026, the institution continues to prove that academic and athletic excellence can go hand-in-hand. Latest data from the Sports, Culture and Wellness Development Unit reveal a number of 128 student-athletes currently balancing their academics and their sports representing the growing "Regal" spirit across various disciplines.
The BS Psychology program leads the pack with 48 athletes. Not far behind is the BS Information Systems department which contributes 44 players. Together, these two programs account for over 70% of the total athletic population, showcasing a strong culture of sports participation within the social sciences and technology sectors. While the larger programs dominate in sheer numbers, the technical and specialized fields are also making their mark. The BS Civil Engineering program has fielded 18 athletes, while BS Computer Science contributes 11. Even the newer or more intensive niche programs are represented, with the BS Social Work department boasting 5 athletes and BS Life Sciences maintaining a dedicated duo on the field.
Led by the Sports, Culture, and Wellness Development Unit (SCWDU), KLD’s athletic programs saw an increase in both participation and podium finishes across regional and national invitational meets. This success was defined by a rigorous training and a renewed focus on holistic development, ensuring that Regals excel not only on the court but also in their academic pursuits.
