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.

Fortunato Catalon the King of Filipino Sprinters
Article by Pirie Enzo from various sources
During the early dawn of Filipino Sports emerged are first great sprint champion Fortunato Catalon.
.
Early Begginings
Catalon was born in 1897 in Leyte, he hailed from a farming family from the interior of the island of Leyte. He failed in his first attempt to make his Tacloban school track team during the Eastern Visayas athletic meet held in Cebu Province, and was relegated to the kitchen as a cook’s helper in order to cover his expenses. Catalon was a high school student from the age of 20-24 according to news sources.
The little Filipino continued his training and the next year made the district team in the inter-district meet. His showing here was a good and he was given a second chance to make the provincial team. This time he did not disappoint his coach winning the 100 and 120 events.
.
The Far East Asian Champion
The Little man who was known as ‘The King of Filipino Sprinters’ representing what was then known as ‘The Philippine Islands‘ Catalon would win the 100 Yard Title at the Far Eastern Games four times from 1917 until 1923. And when the distance was lengthened to the 100m won that title as well in 1925. In 1923 Catalon was the sixth fastest man in the world over 100 yards (91m) in 9.8s. Catalon was described by the great American sprinter and 1920 Olympic Champion Charlie Paddock while he was visting the Philippines, as “The Champion of Champions”.
It was not however until 1917 when he won permanent recognition as a sprinter.At the Far East Asian Games in the 100 yards Catalon awon his heat in 10.2, defending champion Nicolas Llaneta also of the Philippines was the fastest qualifier in 10.0. In the final no wind assistance was present and on May 9 Catalon took the first of the twelve gold medals (9 individual and 3 relay) that he was destined to win at the Far Eastern Games. Catalon also took the 220 yards in 23.8.
In 1919 (13 May) Catalon won his heat in 10.2, however Madono of Japan was the fastest qualifier in 10.0. Between the heats and the final of this event Madono beat Catalon in the preliminaries of the 220 yard dash and it was clear that the Filipino would be hard pressed to retain his title. However he overcame these nerves to equal the games record in 10.0. Catalon retained his title in the 220 yards, despite Madono of Japan being the fastest in the heats in a Games Record of 22.8. Catalon won in 23.0.
In 1921 (31 May) Catalon retained his 100 yard title easily to equal the games record in 10.0. Kaga of Japan who has competed at the Antwerp Olympics who was the favorite faded to third. Catalon defended his 220 yard title with 23.2.
An example of a 220 yard straight track. 220 yards is about 200-201m. Two things different in these days of Catalon. The track was a straight 220 yards and it was also on a grass surface.
In 1923 (22 May) Catalon and Tani of Japan won there heats in 10.4 and 10.4. In the final , Catalon and Tani were the slowest but by the half-way mark the stocky Filipino had drawn a yard clear of the field. Catalon increased his lead to a clear yard at the tape with Takagi finishing ahead of Omura and Tani his fellow Japanese. Tajima finished a distant fifth. A number of unofficial time keepers claimed that Catalon should have been credited with at least 10.0 and two spectators stopped their watches at 9.6. His winning time this year was 10.4. The track was also apparently according to reports heavy and muddy and slow.
Catalon and Omura of Japan were the fastest qualifiers in the 220 yard heats both with 22.6. The event was much faster than 1921 with silver medalist Castillon (PHI) eliminated. Omura was thought by the Japanese to be the one to beat Catalon but it was his countryman Takagi, who closed rapidly on the defending champion in the closing stages, who provided the most serious threat. Catalon succeeded in holding off the challenge winning in 22.2 and reached the tape with a yard to spare. The soft track is said to have nullified the advantage of the following wind.
In 1925 the metric 100m was introduced to replace 100 yards (91m), this was also the last appearance of 4 time champion Catalon who was now 28 years old. Catalon won his heat in 11.0, but new Filipino athlete David Nepomuceno had emerged to take the fastest qualifier in 10.8. Times in the semi-final were slower with Rivera (PHI) 11.5 and Nepomuceno (PHI) 11.1 respectively. In a closely fought final Catalon who had finished third in the second semi-final, triumphed for the fifth consecutive time. However, photographic evidence suggests that he was perhaps fortunate to be given the verdict over Nepomuceno.
In the 200m it was Nepomuceno who ended the streak of Catalon winning in 22.5, with Catalon taking silver..
.
Life after the Far East Asian Games
1925 was the last appearance for Catalon. Catalon, for all his fame, is remembered by the 1950s generation as a “generous starter”. he was the starter when genaro cabrera jumped to an early lead in the 100 asian games final in 1954. (from Ignacio Dee)

Palaro 2013 – Cebu City
Palarong Pambansa Cebu City 2013
According to this article Dated November 7. by Marian C. Baring of Sunstar
CEBU City has been producing the bulk of the athletes representing Region 7 (Central Visayas region) in the Palarong Pambansa. And now, Region 7 will be hosting the national meet in 2013.
That is why, in the Cebu City Olympics, set to open tomorrow, Thursday, at the Cebu City Sports Center, the pressure to come up with the best selection mounts.
“We will have the homecourt edge in the Palaro, so it gives us all the more reason to double our efforts to come up with the best team that will finally improve our finish in the Palarong Pambansa,” said Cebu City Schools Division Superintendent Rhea Mar Angtud.

Palaro 2013 in Bacolod Likely (from Visayan Daily Star)
(Aug 16) Bacolod is putting forward its case to hold the 2013 Palaro, citing that it has successfully co-hosted the 2005 SEA Games and was the main host of the 2011 1st PNG Games. The DEPED is 90% sure at this stage Bacolod will win the bid against other bidders Cebu and Dumaguete. Cebu who have got a brand new relaid track oval would also be a good choice after hosting last years National PRISAA. Dumaguete held the 2012 PNG Games and have one of the only 9 lane right around 400m tracks in the country.
.
Negros hosted four Palarong Pambansa in the past, two at the Panaad Park and Sports Stadium in Barangay Mansilingan in 1998 and 2000, and at the Paglaum Sports Complex in 1974 and 1979.*NAB

Inspection Team Arriving (From Visayan Daily Star)
Members from the Department of Education Palarong Pambansa Evaluation Team are set to arrive in the province today to conduct an evaluation of Negros Occidental’s bid to host the 2013 Games.
Headed by Ma. Arianne Provido from the office of DepEd Assistant Secretary General Tonisto Umali, the team is tasked to oversee the conduct of the bidding and evaluate the province’s capability to host next year’s national Palaro.
Earlier, Gov. Aflredo Marañon expressed optimism that Negros Occidental will win in its bid to host the national school-based sports competition among elementary and high student-athletes.
Supporting the bid is Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia who stressed that the city and the province has played host to the Palarong Pambansa and the Panaad Stadium was the venue for a couple of international football competitions.
.
DepEd Regional Director Mildred Garay, likewise, is optimistic of Negros’ chances of winning the hosting bid, saying that it is 90 percent sure that the committee will choose Negros Occidental.

2012 Philippines Mens All Throwing Events Final Rankings
Shotput
Sunang
SEA Games fourth place getter and National Record Holder Eleazer Sunang led the Shot put Rankings with 15.58m. Albeit his best is 16.35m. The bar has really been raised now for SEA Games qualification with the bronze medal criteria now 17.08m. Sunang is well ahead of the rest of the list.
The up comer is Richie Cabanyog of Bacolod and now at DLSU Taft who broke the one year old Palaro Record with a heave of 13.90, and set a personal best of 14.15m at the regional s with the 6kg shot. Cabanyog however using the senior shotput (7.26kg) could only manage a much smaller throw of 12.63m.
Meanwhile with the 6kg shotput UST Gary Santiago set a UAAP Record for Boys. The Criteria for the ranking list in shotput in 2013 remains the same as 2012 at 12.50m.
.
Discus
The Discus was led by Hammer Thrower Arneil Ferrera, followed closely by 39 year old national throws coach Nixon Mas. The Criteria for Discus remains at 37.00m for 2013. The most impressive performance was by 16 year old Regan Contic of Baguio who is one to watch out for after throwing 41.17m during the weekly relays and winning the junior discus at the Philippine Nationals
.
Hammer Throw
Arniel Ferrera
4x SEA Games Champion Arniel Ferrera again easily led the ranking lists again. Four other athletes joined him on the list. Impressive newcomer to the list was Matt Crespo of Ateneo who shattered his own boys record in the Hammer Throw at the UAAP. The criteria remains 38m for inclusion in the ranking lists in 2013.
.
Javelin
Veteran Record Holder and former SEA Games Champion Danilo Fresnido clung onto the lead for another season.

The SEA Games standard for this event is 66.02m, and as a silver medalist last sea games this does not make Fresnido exempt from the SEA Games qualification. Also returning was former Junior Champion Allanloid Lumbao who finished fourth at the National Games. Impressive was newcomer Joshua Patulad who shattered the boys record at the UAAP in Javelin. The Criteria has been raised from 54m to 54.30m in 2013 for the rankings.

Josephine de la Vina Untouched Discus Records (rev 1)
This week we will look at the Philippines Women’s Discus record. I would like to welcome all the the story behind the countries greatest ever female thrower as she is inducted into Pinoyathletics ‘Legends of Track and Field’.
.
Fil-Heritage Origins
Born in Cebu on April 15, 1946. Josephine de la Vina would go onto set a legacy in Philippine Athletics that has not been matched. She got her earliest contact to sports playing first base for the softball team of Labangon at Cebu Elementary school. Becoming part of the CIT (Cebu Institute of Technology) where promising athletes were properly developed. ‘Big Jo’ as she became known due to her height at 6’0 was exceeding tall for a Filipina especially in those days, would excel in Shotput, Discus and Javelin.
Jo recalled
“Every time I’d win in an international meet, tears would fill my eyes when the Philippine tri-color was hoisted and the band played the National Anthem. Although my father is Mexican I believe I should remain a Filipino. I am proud to be one.”
.De la Vina the countries greatest ever female thrower at the height of her powers in the 1960s and 1970s
Dela Vina was at the height of her powers in the 1960s and 1970s.
Judging on the age of some first sea games participants (Lydia was 15 and Elma 14 when they debuted for the Philippines in relays) it wouldn’t be out of the question to think De la Vina might have competed in the SEA Games in 1961 in Rangoon or then known as the SEA Peninsula Games.
(It has been noted that the Philippines was not a part of the SEA Peninsula Games so Dela Vina did not participate in this meet)
.
The National Junior Record in Discus
At then 16 years of age de la Vina competed at her first ever Asian Track and Field Championships winning the bronze in 37.79m which was then a Senior and national junior record. It was two years later at the Tokyo Olympics de la Vina then aged 18 would throw 42.27m further improving these marks.
“We verified from our 1965 National Open Championships results in Manila that Josephine de la Vina indeed threw 158’9″ (48.38meters, fraction of centimeters is downgraded)” from PATAFA reply email.
.
The Countries Greatest Female Thrower
De la Vina the teenager lass who had won the bronze at the 1962 Asiad, returned knowing she must do better at the next Asian Games in 1966 (Asian Games held every four years). de la Vina set a new games record in the qualifying round of 47.40 and she further improved the record in the final. Her throw of “156’1 1/2 inches” or 47.58m secured her the gold medal in the final. She also threw ’41’4 1/2′ or 12.61m to place fourth in the Womens Shotput. Josephine Dela Vina a pretty 6ft civil engineering student collected a gold medal for the Philippines in a games record throw (Strait Times). She cracked the record of 45.90m (150ft 7 1/4 inches) set by K. Murase of Japan at the last Asian Games.
In fact a meeting of Asian Track and Field statisticians named her the ‘most confident athlete of the Asian Games’ (Strait Times). I’m not sure how confidence is measured?
Dela Vina also held the Womens Shotput Record from 1970 to 1975 with a throw of 13.89m in Los Angeles, which stood until it was broken by Consuela Salibis-Lacusong who still holds the record today at 13.92m.
Dela Vina would go on to represent the country in three olympic games 1964, 1968, 1972.
Her throws of 42.27, 46.58 and 53.92 landed her 18th, 15th and 14th in the Olympic Games Discus
She also set an untounched record in the Discus at 54.71m at Bakersfield, USA on 10/7/1971. Remarkably De la Vina shares the unique feat of being Asian Games champion 1966 (47.58m), Asian Track and Field Champion 1973 (50.74m) shared only with Lydia De Vega-Mercado.
de la Vina mark of 1973 ’166’5 3/4′ (50.74m) in Manila was a new Asian Record breaking the 1970 Record established at the Asian Games by Taruko Yagashita.

2012 Womens Final Ranking List 5k to Marathon Track and Road and 3k Steeples (merged)
5k Final Report
Mary Grace Delos Santos
The highlight of the season in this event was a thrilling blanket finish with Baguio’s Floredeliza Donos edging out Mary Grace Delos Santos at the National Championships in a time of 17.44.84 to 17.44.85. With the much more experienced Jhoann Banayag in third. Unlike the 800 and 1500 these events are still dominated by athletes who are over the age of 25. Teenage Fil-Heritage athlete Jullie Wollrath also had a time not too far off the seniors which indicates good performances to come on the track from the 16 year old.
The cut off criteria remains at 19:30 for 2013.

.
Event History
In 2005 Mercidita Manipol who holds the Philippine 5k Record at 16:40.81 won the Gold Medal at the SEA Games in the 10k. Manipol then is now 31-year old Mercidita Fetalvero and still occasionally competes in road races. The 10k Record Holder is Cristabel Martes (34m40.3) now an employee of Runrio. Martes is the SEA Games Marathon champion in 2001 and 2005.
With the popularity of road running rising in the Philippines with more opting to run 5k and 10k on the road rather than the track there is a lot of potential for the possible development of the Womens 10k event. Not just from that source but a lot of Triathletes are very good 10k runners as well due to the overload of having to run two additional events.
.
10k Report
Again Banayag originally from Davao was the countries fastest women in the 10k after losing her 5k crown. She improved her best time to place her #5 on the all time list. Zamboanga‘s Delos Santos also ran a personal best to place #6 on the all time list. Last years National Junior Record Holder Jessa Mangsat of Baguio did not break 40 minutes at the National Games this year.
The standard for 2012 was 43 min 30. But this is now lowered for 2013 to 43m00.

Please email any additions or corrections to pinoyathletics@gmail.com
Delos Santos once again dominated the Milo Marathon, with Jhoann Banayag second. Cebuana Mary Joy Tabal also had a very productive season.
3K Steeple Chase
The UAAP Champion Carmen Dalyn leads the list. In fact the top three times at the UAAP where faster than the National Games Champion Flordeliza Donos. The top three times are below the record. Contrary to previous announcements Carmen’s time 11:43.04 is actually not a new UAAP Record as Jean Palencia of USTwho holds the National Record actually ran 11:24.48 at the 2009 edition, second place Frejilyn Roncales also of UST clocked 11:41.73 which is the second fastest time in UAAP History.
Carmen winning at the Uni Games.
It is my hope that this data will help the organization.

Milo Little Olympics Background
(Aug 27) In the hearts of little champions, big dreams are waiting to come to life. Back then, these dreams partially comes to life in small town tournaments, local inter-school leagues and even informal street competition amongst friends. In the true spirit of building champions in life, MILO® saw the growing need for these little champions’ big dreams to come front and center.
In 1988, MILO® launched the MILO® Little Olympics in Manila. The league held competitions in 11 sports namely – athletics, badminton, chess, football, gymnastics, lawn tennis, sepak takraw, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo and volleyball. And though the league was initially based in Manila, many little champions savored the taste of what it is like to have their dream of playing in a big stage come true. That is why in 1996, the MILO® Little Olympics was also held in Cebu. And expanded to Cagayan de Oro in 1997 and in Pangasinan in 1998. In the short span of time, MILO® has successfully provided a sporting event that little champions look forward to other than Palarong Pambansa and as well as other major sporting events in the south.
After years of successfully mounting regional games, the MILO® Little Olympics finally went nationwide with the first ever National Finals held in Cebu City on October 23, 2009. With the Queen City of the South serving as host, little champions from all over the nation came and competed for glory. Thousands of little champions got to play, thousands of big dreams came true. The MILO® Little Olympics is now the premiere nationwide junior interschool league for elementary and highschool student-athletes. Little champions nationwide can now show their excellence in sports, their drive, determination, discipline and other champion’s values to their peers throughout the nation. This kind of exposure teaches them to be champions not just in sports but in life as well.
In its 20 years as an inter-regional league and three years as a premiere annual national sports meet, the MILO® Little Olympics has produced and discovered little champions that have donned the country’s colors. Little champions with big achievements in international leagues like the South East Asian Games, World Youth Cup and the Asian Junior Track meet.
Great things truly start from small beginnings. It began with the need for little champions to have a place where their big dreams will come true. Now, the MILO® Little Olympics, with the help of the little champions, parents, coaches and organizers, has now become one of the most recognizable and sought-after league. A sporting event where every game and every match helps build champions in sports and in life.

New York Marathon Cancelled
Most agreed it was a good idea to cancel it
(Nov 9) NEW YORK—Organizers, police and even athletes called Friday’s cancelation of the New York Marathon the correct decision in the wake of the devastation caused by killer superstorm Sandy.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg axed what would have been the 43rd annual race after complaints over the timing and the notion of staging the event on Sunday while many people in the area remain without electricity or shelter.
“The best thing for New York and the best thing for the marathon for the future is unfortunately to move on. This isn’t the year or the time to run it,” said Mary Wittenberg, president of the organizing group, the New York Road Runners.
“It’s crushing and it’s really difficult. It’s one of the toughest decisions we ever made, but we really believe it’s the right thing for New York.”

Due to typhoon Sandy which ravaged the East Coast of the United Sates. The Annual New York Marathon was initially expected to go on.
(From Daily Inquirer)
NEW YORK — New York City’s mayor defended the running of the world’s largest marathon Sunday in a city still searching for bodies from Superstorm Sandy and struggling for basic necessities like power, while some storm victims and other residents said holding the race would be insensitive and divert resources like exhausted police.
The marathon was expected to draw about 20,000 international runners — close to half of participants — who continued to arrive Friday in a city where hotels already held many storm refugees. They crowded the marathon expo, which was criticized after the heavy metal song “Rock You Like a Hurricane” was among the background music.

However Mayor Bloomberg was forced to cancel it
A few hours after Bloomberg insisted the race would be held, he reversed his decision when top city officials lined up against him.
“We would not want a cloud to hang over the race or its participants, and so we have decided to cancel it,” the mayor said in a statement. “We cannot allow a controversy over an athletic event — even one as meaningful as this — to distract attention away from all the critically important work that is being done to recover from the storm and get our city back on track.”
The nationally televised race that winds through the city’s five boroughs and ends in Central Park has been held annually since 1970 — it was held in 2001, about two months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
