Daniel Noval breaks the Philippines 100m Record (rev 2)
*please note due to an error with the results his performance was actually 10.65, hence the national record of Ralph Sougilon stays at 10.45. We would like to thank Coach Sy for his honesty and hard work and Daniel Noval who still broke his personal best of 10.74 and has a bright future ahead of him.
20 year old Daniel Noval, in his first year as a senior added the 100m Record to his resumee. The 5’4 sprinter finished 3rd in the A Race at the First leg of the Asian Grand Prix in Bangkok Thailand (May 4). He finished third behind China’s Fan Guo 10.30 and 2005 SEA Games Champion Wachara Sorndee of Thailand 10.38. Noval stopped the clock at 10.42 (-0.3) wind which was a new Filipino National Record.
Noval broke the National Record of Ralph Waldy Soguilon who had clocked 10.45 in 2007. Prior to that the National Record belonged to Rogelio Onofre 10.57 way back in 1962. Noval who broke Soguilon’s junior record with a 10.74 run in Thailand last year also made the silver standard for the SEA Games which is 10.46, the gold medal time at the SEA Games was 10.35 by Indonesia’s Franklin Burumi but this was with a +2.1 m/s tail wind.
Noval who hails from Cebu is currently a student at CSB and coached by PATAFA head coach Joseph Sy. 
Meanwhile Katherine Khay Santos placed 2nd in her event with a leap of 6.17m (-0.2). A good start fo Khay who was just outside her bronze medal performance of last sea games of 6.25m.
2009 SEA Games Champion Rosie Villarito opened her season with a 46.68m throw to place 6th in the Javelin.
Rene Herrera started in the 5k but stopped during the race due to cramps.

Safety First – Joggers please stay in lane 5 to 8 at Ultra (Phil Sports Complex)
On Saturday night I had a very near run in with a jogger. I was doing 150s at Philippines Sports Complex (Ultra) in 16s/11s 100m pace. Me and my training partner were using lane 1 and 2 and our friends cleared lane 1 and 2 telling the joggers we were using these lanes (fast lanes) for sprints. Everyone hopped out of the lane. When we rounded the curve and came half way down the straight I notice one jogger who had prior been told to clear the track by my friend had made his way back between lane 1 and 2 despite being told earlier to clear the lanes.
My friend had to ease down in the rep as the jogger was half way between our lanes, i yelled track and lane 1 3 times and my friend waved to him as he was wearing head phones. He acted like he didn’t hear me when he was wearing his head phones. In fact to my horror he moved from the outside to right in my lane. I had to slam the breaks down at top speed and was very lucky i didn’t rip my ham string. Even though he claimed he didn’t hear me “I didn’t know, I didn’t know” he clearly could hear me when i started screaming and cursing bad language at him because I’m lucky i didn’t get injured.
After this I filed an incident report to security.
The management at the track had not placed the fast lanes 1-4 and joggers stay in lane 5-8 lanes sign for some time. This has been putting the safety of the athletes highly at risk and Saturdays incident was a pure of example of what could happen as a result if instructions are not being followed.
Also the board with the rules on it at Ultra tells the joggers “stay in your designated lanes”. How are they supposed to know which lanes these are when management does not specify this?
I definitely expect the sign to be up there today when I head to ultra, i will be really annoyed if it isn’t.
i have nothing against joggers using the oval they have as much a right to work out as everyone else. However safety must come first. This is not only for the safety of the fast runners but also for the safety of the joggers. Joggers too are trying to stay fit but everybody safety should not be compromised because of this. When the signage goes back up their is no excuse to not follow the rules. I had a think about why the joggers are assigned the outside lanes before and the reason is this. If the fast runners are assigned outside lanes that means the joggers will have to walk past sprinters to get to their respective lanes, whereas its much safer for faster runners to pass by joggers to get to the inside lanes.
The Need for Electronic Timing after protest filed in Mens 100m at Palaro
Hand Timing or Stopwatch Timing
Article by Pirie Enzo, with contributions from National 100 and 200m Record Holder Ralph Waldy
Before i continue i would like to refer to a previous article i wrote which differentiates Hand timing and Electronic Timing.
i would like to see a clearer video. Ironically the stupid news writing blocks the view of the last frame of the crossing the line hence ruining the quality of the news video. I can tell due to the closeness of 1 and 2 there is no way that is a .2 difference of 11.1 and 11.3 .2 is around one or two strides.
To be honest the times in the final of the Palaro were a lot slower than the semi finals. Several coaches hand timed the top two athletes at around 10.8 and 10.9. Which begs into question the accuracy of the hand timing of the officials at the Palaro and whether we can really count these performances as certifiable by the IAAF.
Not trying to take anything away from the accomplishments of the athletes as winning a Palaro title (National High school) is still a big achievement for a young athlete. However there may have been cases where an athlete is robbed of a place or an accurate time. I’m not saying that this is an example of this as i need to see a clearer video than the one provided.
I cant make an accurate decision on if Nor actually won without seeing a better video. But what I do know is a lot of countries use electronic timing at HS and even at weekly meets. Its much fairer for the athletes if they have a photo finish in place.
.
We need to introduce Electronic timing and Photo Finish to the Palaro and other meets
That is why hand timing should never be really acknowledged. I mean, we are year 2013 already. Everything is on the technology age – why is it that a national HS competition still uses hand timing instead of electronic timing? Budget issues? Very shallow answer. Someone who’s in authority should lobby that to PSC and PATAFA should strongly push for this too.
Deped is in charge of the palaro not PATAFA or PSC anymore. Deped undoubtedly has the funds to hire an electronic system. I looked into the cost of electronics purchasing the equipment is atleast 60,000 USD. DEPED does have the budget to allocate towards hiring electronics. They just do not understand the importance as they are not as well informed as the PSC or PATAFA on sports.
Electronic Timing system is cheaper than that actually. I have a quotation from finish line coz were supposed to purchase that to support PATAFA events. If PATAFA can commit to us to convince other meets to use the system for at least 20 meets in a year then we can probably reconsider that previous plan. This should be a partnership with PATAFA project.
Palaro – Luzon finally wins the Gold, Avila overcomes heartbreak and De Josef breaks 800 record.
The Palarong Pambansa continued in Dumaguete with some very remarkable stories. A girl who never won an individual medal at the Palaro, a girl who spent three years in a row as the runner up in the 100m, and a first year high school student who broke the Palaro Record.

Avila overcomes heart break to become a champion
The True story of the games was NCR Marilyn Avila who after falling in the 100m Hurdles heats, came back to win the Girls 400m Hurdles in 1:04.3. At the expense of defending champion Jealyn Lancita of WV who finished third despite improving her best time from 1:05.6 to 1:05.4.
Rappler has wrote a very good report on Avila

The Bridesmaid finally wins the title
After three years in a row as the bridesmaid Eloisa Luzon of Northern Mindanao finally claimed the Palaro title in the 100m Dash. Luzon who had finished second behind Michelle Loterte, Jenny Rosales and then Maureen Emily Schrijvers qualified by far the fastest in the semi finals with a personal best of 12.2. In the final she secured a heroic victory into a big head wind in 12.6 seconds, ahead of her team mate Glaiza Salcedo. Salcedo who has recently came back to Track and Field after a short stint at Basketball was second in 12.8 seconds. Luzon will attempt to recapture the 200m title she won in 2010 as a first year high school student and secure the sprint double. Luzon performance ensured her selection into the ASEAN Youth Team for the Vietnam meet June 4-7.
.
14 Year old De Josef Impressive
14 Year old Angelica De Josef was impressive with a win in the girls 800m with a time of 2:17.2 breaking the Palaro Record 2:18.4. De Josef who is in her first year of High school at the Palaro represented the Western Visayas team.
.
Lirazan stops the Nor Express
Local favorite Christopher Lirazan had an upset win in the Boys 100m the times in the final were marred by a strong head wind with Lirazan emerging victorious in 11.1s. This was at the expense of 2011 Champion and PNG Junior Champion Romnick Nor who finished second in 11.3s, NCAA Boys Record Holder Jomar Utdohan was third for NCR in 11.3s also. Utdohan and Nor who have ran 10.7 and 10.6 were not able to cope with the strong wind aswell as Lirazan who has a best time of 10.9.
Lirazan also made it a sprint double winning the 400m in 49.7 beating 16 year old Jaime Mejia 50.1 of NCR. Mejia won the 110 Hurdles in 14.9 and 400 Hurdles in 55.3.
