Mikee Romero ranks 6th in US Polo Rankings in April
Mikee Romero made history for the Philippines again after ranking as the 6th overall player in the United States Polo Rankings last April.
The Filipino athlete collected 130 points to barge into the top ten just weeks after he rose to 24th overall in the World Polo Tour (WPT) amateur rankings, which allowed him to become the highest Southeast Asian player.
Romero's rise to top 6 now sees him in an elite company with some of the powerhouse names in polo.
Tomas Panelo is at No. 1 with 205 points while Juan Martín Nero and Adolfo Cambiaso occupy the second and third spots. Barto Castagnola and Alejandro Poma are tied at fourth spot with their identical 140 points.
Romero's polo pony, Niki, also earned recognition after it was included in joint number one in polo horse ranking in the United States alongside Nero's Catwoman, Grant Ganzi's Girl Power, and La Dolfina Binter and La Dolfina Jetcost of Cambiaso.
"This is a deeply meaningful moment. To stand among the best players in the U.S. and to see Niki recognized beside the finest horses in the world is a tribute to the effort, preparation, and heart that went into every game," said Romero.
