Kayla Richardson closes in on Philippine JR Records
15 year old Fil-Heritage sprinter Kayla Richardson recorded two incredible arks 11.79 (+0.7), and 23.84 (+2.1).
The First year high schooler from Etiwanda High had an awesome day at Div 1 CIF Preliminaries in the 100m finishing third in her heat and qualifying 7th overall for the CIF Finals. Her 200m time albeit wind aided was the fastest qualifying time in her division. Kayla then helped her team win the 4×400 in 3:47.07 #2 in the state clocking 55.00 on her leg of the relay.
Kayla’s time were remarkable 11.79 improved her season lead of 11.93 which she shared with twin sister Kyla. 11.79 is the 6th fastest time ever by a Filipina and only .04s outside the junior mark set by Princess Joy Griffey in 2004 with 11.75. Born in 1998 Kayla has until 2017 to improve this mark. Kayla official best time was 12.46 last year an incredible break through in one season.

Her 200m mark of 23.84 although wind aided +2.1, means she is capable of breaking 24 seconds now with a legitimate tail wind. Only Lydia De Vega has ever ran faster than this time of all Filipina’s. De Vega mark of 23.54 is the National Junior Record. Kayla coach John Gilmer of the Academy of Speed said “Kayla should hopefully be able to break that”.
Another fact is her times are now very close to the SEA Games bronze standards of 11.73 and 24.06. Certainly her 23.84 is even beyond the 24.01 silver medal, the gold medal was 23.65 at SEA Games.
However it is incredibly unfair how the IAAF/SEA Games commitee now have decided to introduce a minimum 16 rule meaning Kayla would miss out on competing in the SEA Games when she is good enough to medal. An appeal must be sent to the organizing commitee to allow her to participate as we now have another female sprinter good enough to match it with our SEA rivals.
*The Richardson twins have submitted dual citizenship documents to PATAFA and are in the process of submitting Passports.

Monticalvo surpasses the Filipino Record in Pole Vault
Monticalvo continued progressive streak to 5.05m means he is not completely out of question for a SEA Games Gold.
Fil-Heritage athlete Caleb Monticalvo soared to a new personal best on Saturday 14/04/13 vaulting 5.05m at the Chico Distance and Twilight Carnival in California. The performance is the second time he has exceeded the standing national record of 1991,1993,1995 SEA Games Champion and 1996 Olympian Edward Lasquette.
However recognition of the record is pending awaiting submission of Philippine Passport which Caleb is currently processing.
Regardless it is good to see the strong legacy of Pole Vaulting paved by legendary athletes such as Edward Lasquette continuing in the country with new names arising.
Monticalvo whose father is Filipino and mother is Italian hails from San Jose, California. Monticalvo ironically also hails from California as his home town is San Diego.
On Saturday he took out the ‘John Lipsey Pole Vault’ event with second well beaten with 4.72m. It was the second time Monticalvo has exceeded the Filipino National Record his previous best of 5.03m done at the CCAA Champs last May, ranked him second in SEA behind SEA Games Champion Kreetha of Thailand last year.
Kreetha of Thailand with a personal best of the 5.24m is the man to beat at SEA Games, with Iskandar of Malaysia 5.01m also in medal contention.
It will be an exciting competition at the National Games with Monticalvo, and fellow vaulter Fil-Heritage Alorro leading a cast of around 16 vaulters in the mens division at the National Games. (draft schedule here)
