Nicolas mark is equal to Filipino Junior Record in Pole Vault
Alyana Nicolas opened her 2013 season with a 3.10m indoor leap.
The 18 year old Fil-Heritage athlete from San Jose, California having acquired dual citizenship papers has in fact equaled the Junior National Record subject to ratification by PATAFA. Natasha Marie Nalus of University of the Philippines had leapt 3.10m last month. Alyana has a personal best leap of 3.20m which was achieved last May however she did not have Dual Citizenship papers at the time hence the record was not recognized as a Filipino Junior Record. Nicolas will jump again in two weeks time at a meet in Fresno. Nicolas and Nalus will go head to head in the junior division at the PNG later in May. Nicolas iscoached by Steve Nelson who mentored Filipino National Record Holder and Olympian Edward Lasquette in the 90s.
Julio Alorro this time finished 3rd at New York University Team Challenge in the Pole Vault at the Armory this time registering 4.50m, after opening the season with 4.55m.

Loquinto ties UAAP Record in Heats
Hanelyn Loquinto (FEU) was the quickest through the women’s heats on Tuesday winning the last of the three heats. Loquinto who is in her final year at the UAAP came into the competition with a best time of 12.33 from Thailand. The 2011 UAAP Champion timed 12.22s (+1.2m/s) to erase the six year old record of Sharon Jizmundo (FEU) by 1/100th of a second. Jenny Rosales (UE) defending UAAP champion in 12.34, established a new personal best of 12.25s winning the second heat. Palaro Champion Maureen Schrijvers (DLSU) won the opening heat in 12.76 to qualify fourth in the final.

Rosales defends title
It was a complete reversal to last UAAP when Loquinto was fastest out of the blocks, with Luville Dato-on and Jenny Rosales overwhelming her in the last 5 meters. This time Rosales was fastest out of the blocks and Loquinto began closing in on her in the last 20 meters, however Rosales had got a good enough start to hold her off. The rest of the field was well behind the first two placers with Mildrid three strides behind second.
After a valiant effort from Loquinto who threw everything she had into the final, it was 18 year old Jennyrose Rosales who would defend her title in 12.22 tieing the record Loquinto set in the heats. Loquinto took the silver with another good 12.29 time, and Mildrid tied her personal best to take the bronze in 12.68.
Palaro Champion Maureen Schrijvers was out of the medals fading to sixth place.

Two Pole Vault Records for EJ Obiena
EJ Obiena (ADMU) shattered the UAAP Record of Jerome Margallo of Adamson which was set at 4.30m 6 years ago. It was inevitable the record was going to go as EJ had already reset his own junior record to 4.31m. A bone breaking injury set the 17 year old back and side lined him from the Palaro and the National Games. Upon recovery he soon was able to break the Junior Record again with 4.40 and 4.45 at the Weekly Relays. Having now raised that mark up again to 4.50m it ties him on the mens all time list at 10 just behind former Fil-Heritage vaulter Jose Utzurun. The first year Ateneo student is a strong candidate for the UAAP Rookie of the year reward. He is also participating in the High Jump event.
It was a young cast with Palaro Record Holder Adel Valdecenas (DLSU). 20 took the silver with 4.20m and defending UAAP Bronze Medalist Joel Nasis, 19 (UP) bronze with 4.00m., with Run for Change supported athlete Janry Ubas, 18 (FEU) finishing fourth but also joining the four meter club. This puts the number of Vaulters over 4.00m at 12, tying last years record.
Mens 110 Hurdles: There is an Unso among us!
Defending Champion Patrick Unso who is coming off a hamstring injury was the fastest qualifier in the 110m Hurdles heats in 14.99 (-0.2). His brother Jose won the second heat in a Personal best of 15.12 (-0.2) improving on the 15.25 time he had ran to get the silver at the last UAAP. Emmanuel Delos Angeles (UST) also made a return to the UAAP with a personal best of 15.26, with Cid also qualifying in 15.27.
Jose again improved his personal best again winning the final in 14.84et (+0.3) a time which saw him rapidly advance to #6 on the all time list and 3rd on the seasonal rankings. His brother Pach holds the record and his father Renato is ranked 4th on the all time list (former record holder). (error reported 15.0x in previous report please disregard). Jose made the most of his final year in the UAAP beating his more well known Brother Pach who won the silver in 14.95. Jesson Ramil Cid (FEU) improved his PB to earn the bronze in 15.01. With former medalist Emmanuel Delos Angeles (UST) again improving to 15.20 but this time a well beaten fourth.

Mens 10k: Poliquit Just misses out
Rafael Poliquit (FEU) missed out on breaking the UAAP mens 10k record by an agonizing 4/100ths of a second. His winning time of 32:38.92 fell just short of the 32:38.88 mark set by Ben Alejandrino of UST six years ago. Poliquit who improved on his personal best of 32:44.87 when he finished sixth at the PNG continued his meteoric rise.
Richard Salano (UST) took the silver in 32:43.45 taking nearly a whole second off the time her registered at the PNG. Defending Champion Christopher Ulboc (FEU) ran faster than he did to win last year but this time it was only good enough for bronze. The three medalists who rank 4,5,6 on the 2012 rankings are all Run for Change supported athletes as was the fourth placer Roger Denolo (UST) who also improved his best time.
.
Mens 100m: Cid Claims 100m Title
The Mens 100m Heats saw some quick times. The First heat was won by Run for Change athlete Jesson Ramil Cid (FEU) in 10.90 +0.8, followed by Jose Unso (DLSU) who ran a personal best of 10.97. The second heat was won by 18 year old Jerwen Ebcas who ran a personal best of 11.13 +1.6.
In the Mens Final Cid was just .01 seconds off his personal best he ran in Thailand taking the mens 100m title in 10.89 +0.6 m/s. His time actually surpassed the UAAP ET Record with wind gauge used of 10.92 held by Romnick Herida in 2008. Jose Unso was second in 11.09, and Abraham Alzona (UE) bronze in 11.21.

Womens 100 Hurdles
.
Defending Champion Michelle Loterte (UST) was the fastest qualifier winning heat 2 in 15.30 (-0.2), .19 seconds off her personal best and .02 seconds faster than her winning time last year. She finished just ahead of the fast finishing Mildrid Salut (FEU) 15.47 who improved her personal best on the 15.53 she ran last UAAP to gain the silver.
The quickly improving teenager Leah Casilihan of DLSU who is mentored by national record holder Shyal Atilano won the third heat in 15.53 slashing .33 seconds off her personal best. The time puts Casilihan at #6 on the Junior all time lists, with Loterte currently in #4 spot.
19 year old Jee Ann Racoma (FEU) won heat 1 in 15.88. 2011 Silver medalist Aleah Gatmaitan of UE also qualified through with a time of 15.95.
In the final Michelle improved her personal best to 14.96, which saw her move to #3 on the all time junior lists. Mildrid Salut (FEU) was a very close second in 15.03 having knocked off half a second off her personal best this tournament and Leah Casilihan again improved her time for the bronze with 15.41. Gatmaitan was fourth in 15.84.
.
High Jump Womens
Joeann Bermudo equalled her personal best to take the women’s High Jump title with a 1.65m leap. Bermudo who was the bronze medalist last UAAP took the title in the absence of her more illustrious team mate Aprilen Laudencia the National Junior Record Holder who was the champion the last two UAAP. Palaro Record Holder and National Junior Champion Maureen Schrijvers (DLSU) was second in 1.60. Chairy Palermo (UST) who took the silver last UAAP was relegated to the Bronze with a 1.60m effort.
.
Mens 800m
Run for Change athlete Christopher Ulboc (FEU) qualified fastest to the finals of the Mens 800m, improving his personal best in the early stages of the weekly relays from 1.55.9 to 1:55.30. Ulboc who is better known as a 3k Steeple Chase runner is showing fantastic form in the middle distance events this year after losing his 10k title yesterday earning the bronze. 18 year old rookie Elbren Neri (UST) the Uni Games Silver medalist ran 1:56.60 just behind Ulboc, (he ran 1:55.7 at Uni Games).
.
Womens 1500m
Mary Ann Dela Cruz (FEU) reversed the finishing order upgrading her place to Gold with a 6 second personal best of 4:46.98. Pushing her to #2 in the 2012 rankings. Defending Champion Carmen Dalyn (FEU) also ran fast in 4:47.63 but had to settle for silver this time. 18 year old Macrose Dichoso (UST) was third in 4:52.86. Last years bronze medalist Jilla Dela Rosa faded to fifth place.
.
Boys Records Tumble
Kyle Davidson Narido (UE) established a UAAP ET Record winning Heat 3 of the Boys 800m in 2:06.24, the time however is very far off the hand timed Record of Oscar Alvarez (UP) 2:03.00. For purposes of my set of UAAP Records. For 800m and up hand timed records have .14 added. So in order to surpass the old record a time of 2:03.14 or faster would have been required.
The third record to go was in the Boys Discus Matt Crespo (ADMU) threw the Discus 33.39m. I am still checking on the weight of the Discus because they seem to have three different records in the event for 1.5, 1.75 and 2kg discus weights respectively.

Magic Mejia
15 year old Jaime Mejia of UP won the boys 100m easily in 11.38 (-0.1). He then added the boys 110 Hurdle title in a slick 15.25.

Day 2: Two down one to go: Rosales breaks De Vega 200M UAAP Record
Yesterday, UAAP Champion Jennyrose Rosales (UE) was the fastest qualifier in the heats of the 200m taking out heat 3 in 24.98et which is the electronic record of the UAAP.
Rosales broke the ET Record of 25.22 set by Chantal Issey Balani of DLSU. The 18 year old who is trained by Elma Muros, jumped from #9 to #6 on the all time junior lists.
2011 Champion Hanelyn Loquinto (FEU) who hasnt ran over 200m since last February won heat 1 in a personal best of 25.61. Her team mate Mildrid Salut also improved her best to 25.90. Rosales team mate Angco ran a PB of 25.98 to advance aswell to the finals.
In the finals Rosales was clearly on a different plain of existence to the other sprinters. Pulling 6 meters away from her closest challenger to clock 24.73et and hence erasing the UAAP Record of Lydia De Vega Mercado (24.5ht). The time also pushed her back to regain the #1 spot on the 2012 ranking list. It was also the fourth fastest time ever by a Junior Sprinter. The 18 year old Rosales still has another year left in the junior division. Loquinto improved her best again to get silver in 25.58et. Uni Games Champion Josie Malacad was third in 25.74et. Mildrid Salut (FEU) was fourth in 25.83et. Palaro Champion Mau Schrijvers of DLSU faded to seventh place.
After tying the UAAP 100m Record, and claiming sole ownership of the 200m Record can Rosales make it three for three and break the National 400m Record of 56.61 today. Her best time is 57.4 which is the Palaro Record from 2011.

Palabrica who is trained by Roselyn Hamero has shown good improvement this year in the Javelin. Palabrica finished well ahead of defending champion Jenefer Penepona who could only manage 36.54m.

Run For Change sponsored Cid who first came to prominence at the UAAP breaking the decathlon record added the 200m title to his long jump and 100m. Cid recorded a new personal best of 21.82 (which is unofficially the fastest electronic time with a wind gauge recorded at the UAAP). Jose Unso who led for the first 150m and was overtaken by the fast finishing Cid captured the silver in 22.13 and his brother Patrick who was the surprise winner last UAAP settled for bronze in 22.31.

All three athletes are Run for Change supported. The highly sort after record of UST Ben Alejandrino remains untouched.
Unso again!
Jose Unso was the fastest in the mens heats in 22.05, his time surpassed the Electronic (wind gauge) record of Romnick Herida (FEU) 22.06 set in 2008. It was otherwise a rather slow set of results apart from Cid (FEU) 22.07 to take out heat 4 which only had two other people in it.
upcoming 15 year old Jaime Mejia won the boys 200m in 23.13 just .11s outside the meet record.

FEU Girls strike more golds
Josie Malacad won her third title in the UAAP 800m in 2:18.67. It was a clean sweep for the FEU Girls with Dela Cruz 2nd and Carmen 3rd. UST Silver medalist Jilla Dela Rosa finished fourth and out of the medals.
While on the mens side Ulboc of FEU won the mens 800m in 1:54.54, just a tad outside of the UAAP Record of Nelbert Ducusin 1:54.2. 18 year old Rookie Elbren Nebri of UST took silver in 1:55.27 (#5 junior all time lists).
Joeann Bermudo defended her UAAP Triple Jump title with 11.97m, another cleansweep with Dizon 11.70m silver, and Salut 11.69m bronze. UAAP Silver medalist Michelle Loterte (UST) registered no valid jumps.

UAAP Day 3: Rosales goes three for three destroys 400m UAAP Record, Results (included)
Jenny Rosales of UE shatters the Womens 400m UAAP Record of Ana Leah Hugo (56.78 set 15 years ago). Video by Coach Roselyn Hamero. Rosales was named MVP after breaking the 100 ,200,400m records. (100 equalled with Hanelyn Loquinto (FEU) during heats of UAAP).
Rosales time here was 56.03 (with splits of 26.5/29.5 for each 200m)
.
.
Jenny Rose Rosales again re-wrote the History Books of the UAAP with a dominating win in the Womens 400m capturing her third UAAP Record. It is a feat which is only shared in UAAP History by Ralph Waldy Soguilon the holder of the Mens 100,200,400m records.
The 18 year old Rosales stopped the clock at 56.03 leaving her opponents gasping in disbelief. Uni Games champion Josie Malacad (FEU) who has a personal best of 56.45 was some 10 meters behind with a time of 57.96, while Palaro and National Junior Champion Neslee Angco the training partner of Rosales captured the Bronze Medal in 58.30.
Rosales time shattered the previous record of 56.78 by Ana Leah Hugo of FEU whose time had stood for 15 years. Her performance solidified positioning in the powerful womens 4×400 squad eyeing the sea games spot. It was also the second fastest time as a Junior ever only behind the long standing National Junior Record record of Lydia De Vega 54.75 set 31 years ago (this mark is also the National Record). It is also the sixth fastest time ever by a Filipino women with De Vega, Ganosa, Milgar, Punelas and Griffey ranked ahead.
.
Carmen Dalyn looking like Womens MVP
Despite Rosales triple record standing. It looks like Dalyn Carmen may become the UAAP Womens Champion. As UAAP Rules state Individual medals are counted ahead of Relay Golds. Carmen would have tied golds in the womens 3ks, 5k, 10k with Jenny who won the 100,200,400. However as she also has individual medals in the 800 and 1500 this puts her ahead for the MVP award. Dalyn added the Steeple Chase gold in a new personal best of 11:43.04.
Meanwhile the FEU Womens team of Hanelyn Loquinto, Josie Malacad, Mildrid Salut and Avegail Dizon broke the UAAP Record of UST with a time of 47.91 the second fastest relay time of the year.

400M
Jaime Mejia (UP) continued to add to his gold medal count taking the Record in the Boys 400m in a time of 51.27. Erasing the 51.48 mark of Patrick Unso set two years ago.
Meanwhile in the Mens 400m Jesson Ramil Cid completed the sprint treble in 49.24. Cid who will be a shoo in for the MVP award was outside his 48.05 personal best but did enough to hold off the fast finishing Gabriel Soriano. Soriano (UP) the younger brother of former UAAP sprint king Carlo Soriano was the surprise silver medalist clocking a big personal best of 49.45 after only managing 23 flat in the 200m final. Jose Unso (DLSU) also medalled in the 100,200,400 with the bronze in 49.59.
.

Laurence Rose (DLSU) beat his team mate Palaro Record Holder Richie Cabanyog in the Shotput 12.95 to 12.53.

UE Rookie Jenny Rose Rosales who broke the 100,200,400 records was the surprise winner after Jennismyle Mabunga of FEU beat her team mate Carmen Dalyn in the 5k. The third gold would have allowed Dalyn to defend her MVP title, as Rosales next set of medals were in relays, whereas Dalyn had individual silvers in other events. Rosales capped off a stunning UAAP teaming with Neslee Angco, Carmela Leonardo and Kristina Mae Santos to win the gold in the womens 4x400m relay.
The stunning surprise upset came in the Mens 4×400 when the DLSU quartet of Patrick Unso, Jose Unso, Jericho Ejercito and Timothy Kairuz toppled the FEU Juggernaut to win in 3:21.40.

In what was a weak long jump field as all the performances were more than a meter from the UAAP Record, Aldee Denuyo of UST improved her own best performance to emerge the champion over powering some of her much more fancied opponents with 5.13m.
Micah Sibayan (ADMU) heaved the discus to 37.96m to carry on Ateneo strong tradition of throwers.
.

Mens and Womens Sprint Previews
Over the Next two weeks Pinoyathletics will proudly present a series of event Previews for the UAAP. Pinoymiler will present the distance events, while Pinoyathletics will cover the sprints. We are still finalizing coverage of other event previews.
Leading up to the event which is scheduled December 4-7 at the Ultra, Pasig.
The events will go from 3pm to 9pm after the success of the trial of holding the event in the evening drew larger crowds from the public and ex-athletes.
You can view the schedule here
.
Mens 100m
Undoubtedly the blue ribband event of any Track and Field meet. There is nothing more compelling than seeing eight men burst down the track in all out display of raw speed and power. Gone are the days when are greatest champion and National Record Holder once dominated the sprints at the UAAP. Ralph Waldy Soguilon (DLSU) from 2000-2005 still holds the UAAP Record at 10.56. He was succeeded by Jeffrey Lozande 2006-07 and Romnick Herida 07-10 of FEU, and then Carlo Soriano 2011-12 of ADMU. With the sudden departure of Soriano from the UAAP scene this now leaves the title vacant with a new champion to emerge.
The two main candidates are the two men from DLSU Patrick Unso (11.07 PB) and Jasper Tanhueco (11.09 PB) who finished seem like the obvious candidates for the title of sprint King. Unso is the National and National Junior Record Holder in the 110m Hurdles, while Tanhueco is the NCAA High school Record Holder in the 100m.
However after the Thai Open Decathlete Jesson Ramil Cid is the fastest in the UAAP with 10.88 (the third fastest time in the RP in 2012. Cid will be hard pressed due to the number of events he is expected to participate in. The action and depth is clearly in the NCAA this year, with Unso and Tanhueco ranked #9 and #10 on the RP Mens Ranking List for 2012.
Unso had decided to focus most of this year on Hurdles, while Tanhueco finished third behind CSB (NCAA) Sprinters Daniel Noval and Anthony Lopena at the University Games last month in Bacolod.
The only other UAAP athlete who is even ranked is Abraham Alzona of UE with 10.9 hand which was done at the last UAAP in early Feburary.
.
Mens 200m
With time running short now as Pinoyathletics are the only ones covering the UAAP it is inevitable only the sprint events will be reviewed before the UAAP.
The next event we look at will be the Men’s 200m Dash. Last UAAP Patrick Unso (DLSU) spoiled defending Champion’s Carlo Soriano (ADMU) chances of defending his title. Soriano is now retired from the UAAP.
.
Unso Brothers lead the charge
The fastest man in UAAP Schools Isidro Del Prado (21.99) who was Bronze Medalist at the National Games is not eligible to participate for FEU until next year. Patrick Unso goes in as the fastest looking to defend his UAAP title which he had won in 22.12. The National and National Junior Hurdles Record Holder main opponent for the title will be his brother Jose Unso. Unso who made the final at this event last UAAP has had some impressive show of form during the weekly relay series. The last time Jose medalled in this event was back in 2010 when he won the bronze medal.
If any challenge is to come for the Unso Brothers it will likely be from Jesson Ramil Cid of FEU, who has a personal best of 21.7. Cid has won the last two University Games in this event having overcame Soriano and Daniel Noval the last two years. Cids massive improvement in the 400m this year makes him a very strong chance at stealing the show in the Mens 200m Dash.
With a lot of men ranked this year her are some of the other outside chances in what will essentially be a lolly scramble to make the finals.

2012 75th UAAP Sprint Reviews Women’s
100m Womens
The 100m Dash at the UAAP should be a very exciting race as it pits two evenly matched athletes in the hunt for the gold, and four athletes in the hunt for the medals.

Defending Champion Jennyrose Rosales (UE) who has added the National Junior title to her resume has not yet improved on her personal best of 12.34 she clocked to win the UAAP earlier this year. Since then Rosales has represented the country at the Asian Juniors in Sri Lanka and Thai Open. The small yet springy sprinter who just turned 18 will face her main challenge from the athlete she ran down on the line last year.
2011 UAAP Champion Hanelyn Loquinto (FEU) will be on a quest to regain her UAAP title that she lost to Rosales last UAAP. Loquinto who finished second at the National Games improved her personal best to 12.31 in Thailand, making her the fastest seeded entry in the womens 100m Dash.
Also in the mix will be Palaro and University Games Champion 17 year old Maureen Emily Schrijvers (DLSU) who holds a personal best of 12.68et/12.4ht. The tall sprinter from DLSU has had a rather up and down season but has been performing well at the big meets.
Also in the mix and looking at stealing a medal from one of the three favorites is UAAP Heptathlon Champion Mildrid Salut (FEU). Salut has demonstrated good ability in the sprints throughout the Weekly Relays. The muscular 23 year old now in her final UAAP may bag a sprint medal in her final year. On times Salut is tied with Mau this year with 12.68et/12.4ht, however has not participated in as many sprint events.
Also in the mix will be Ruffa Bargola (UP) and Avegail Dizon. Bargola who was controversially given the silver over Dizon at the Uni Games in Bacolod,(although camera footage showed otherwise after the event). Bargola Is not ranked but is a seasoned performer who is guaranteed a spot in the final. Dizon the third of the FEU Girls placed fourth last year and has ran 12.84et.

Rosales Closes in on UAAP 200M Record

Upcoming 18-year old Jennyrose Hernandez De Rosales. Has won three major titles in 200m, Palaro Pambansa 2011, UAAP and National Junior (Photo Credit: Enrico Quodala)
Defending UAAP Champion, proved she is in better shape after winning the UAAP title last January. Rosales who recently celebrated her 18th Birthday. Timed 24.6s at the Weekly Relays on November 25. Converted this only puts her behind Fil-Heritage Kyla Richardson on the Ranking Lists.
However she also has edged one step towards erasing a 30 year old UAAP record, held by none other than Lydia De Vega Mercado (24.5). The UAAP will take place Dec 4-7 at Pasig. Another legend has had a major impact in the shy UE students life is her coach Elma Muros Posadas who discovered the dusky Palaro 100-200-400 Champion at Dapitan.
Rosales who won the UAAP comfortably in 25.33 last January, went onto win the National Juniors, represent the Philippines in Asian Juniors in Colombo and Thailand Open. Although she didnt do too well in the individual events in Thailand she bounced back to score a convincing win in the Weekly relays against some of her rivals.
Probably more so in the 200 than in the 100 which there is a 50/50 chance Rosales is undoubtedly the overwhelming favorite in this event.
.
Close fight for the other medals
Following Rosales there is a gap of at least .4 seconds, followed by the next five sprinters who are separated only by .1 seconds. Here is a quick round up of the chances of the other potential medalists.
Josie Malacad (FEU), more of a 400m and 400m Hurdler but had a stunning win over Maureen Schrijvers at the Uni Games timing 25.5. Will probably have her hands full with longer events such as the 800m.
Hanelyn Loquinto (FEU), finished third behind Rosales at the UAAP in January timed 25.79. has not ran a 200m since then. Loquinto was the 200m Champion in 2011.
Maureen Emily Schrijvers (DLSU), won the Palarong Pambansa, ran good in Vietnam over 200m timed 25.74 and ran credibly at the Asean Schools. As of recently performances have not been consistent but ran a good 400m a few weeks back. She is the youngest in the field at 17.
Mildred Salut (FEU), the dark horse of the field, known as the UAAP Heptathlon Champion has shown incredible improvement this year and could barge into the medals timed 25.6 to place second against Rosales last week.
Neslee Angco (UE), the training partner of Rosales is also a very capable runner more known for the 400m, she is the Palaro and National Junior Champion. She timed 25.6 in the race behind Rosales and Salut last week.
.
400m: Malacad is the favorite
In what is likely to be a very fast 400m Final. There are two names in contention. Undoubtedly this time though the odds on favorite is Uni Games 400m Champion Josie Malacad (FEU). Malacad who is better known as a Hurdler has had an incredible season improving her best time from 57.54 to 56.45 this year. In Vietnam she won the silver in 57.04. Before improving her best in the heats of Thailand to 57.03, and then taking a credible fourth place in 56.45 against a very strong international field. Malacad due to her 400m Hurdle background has a very graceful controlled style of running the 400m, which involves a well paced first 200m followed by a very rhythmic last 200m with evenly paced steps and good relaxation in the shoulders.
,
Rosales outside chance
Malacad finished second last year, and the other contender in the field although this year more of an outside chance is Jenny Rosales (UE). Rosales has a personal best of 57.4 which is also the Palarong Pambansa record from 2011. However she has not ran the 400m since last UAAP in March. She did however run a good leg in Thailand in the 4×400 to help the RP team to silver. While Rosales is looking comfortable in the 200m, she would have a better secondary chance in the 100m than 400m this UAAP.
Surely though Rosales will need to run alot faster than her winning time of 58.47 last year, the record in this event of Ana Leah Hugo set in 1997 of 56.61s is under threat. With Rosales sure to give Malacad the much needed push towards this mark.
,
The Best of the rest a very strong field
The strongest UAAP field assembled in 2010 saw all 8 women break 1 minute. Joining the field will be upcoming Rieventh Penarubia (FEU) the 16 year old has improved her best time to 58.4. Maureen Emily Schrijvers (DLSU) 58.8 better known in the short sprints. Rosales training partner Neslee Angco (UE) 59.3 the Palaro and National Junior Champion in this event. And the UST runners Rachelle Abotolomo 59.8 the Uni Games silver medalist, Vienna Mae Banebane who has not ran 400 well this year but has a personal best of 58.5 from last year, and Manelyn Clavejo the UAAP and Uni Games Bronze medalist.
EJ Obiena, Birthday Gift National Junior Record & Safety Reminders for Pole Vault (merged)
It is a special feat in itself breaking a National Junior Record, even more unique when you break your own National Junior Record but also throw in the fact you have two more years left to improve on it. Two weeks ago EJ Obiena achieved all of that at the Weekly Relays.
Obiena set the National Junior Record now at 4.40m, his mark shattered the 4.31m mark he leapt at the Filipino Chinese Meet in February and hence is a new Junior National Record. This achievement also is very unique has it happened on his 17th Birthday. EJ was born on the 17/11/1995.
,EJ who is a freshman at Ateneo, has the next goal to go after the UAAP Record which is held by training partner Jerome Margallo at 4.30m set 6 years ago. The 4.40m jump gives EJ confidence going in as the favorite next week.

.
2012
EJ has had an impressive up and down season. Firstly breaking the Junior Record at the Filipino Chinese meet with a leap of 4.31m, and then at an indoor meet in Taipei leaping 4.41m. A severe stress fracture in the Tibia side lined EJ in a cast for most of the year forcing him to miss the Palaro and National Open meets. Coming back from injury EJ was able to edge out Palaro Record Holder Adel Valdecenas (DLSU) winning on count back at 4.20 during the weekly relays. It was however Adel who would reverse the situation at the Uni Games in Bacolod winning again with 4.20 on countback. EJ claimed the silver here.
In Thailand EJ claimed silver in the Junior Pole Vault with a leap of 4.25m.

A Vaulting Family and legacy Event
EJ is the son of national coach, national champ and masters record holder Emerson Obiena, the 48 year old is still an active jumper and this was actually the first season he has been finishing behind EJ. Also Uncle Edward Obiena is the NCAA Record Holder in Pole Vault with a life time best of 4.55m and was a bronze medalist in the Decathlon in the SEA Games. Ironically Edwards best ever Vault was at his final appearance at the SEA Games where he actually surpassed the bronze medalist in the individual pole vault. Also EJ younger sister Emily is showing signs of becoming a great pole vaulter when she leapt 2.80m.
It has been a splendid year for Philippine Pole Vault which continues to outshine other events. With PPVC, Mike Pelaez Athletics, and Fil-Heritage athletes producing some very strong depth in the event. Already Caleb Monticalvo and Julio Alorro have surpassed the SEA Games 4.70m bronze medal performance in 2011, with Caleb likely to eclipse the National Mens Record of Lasquette. Caleb and Julio ranked 2nd and 3rd in South East Asia this year.
The strong depth in Mens Pole Vault has seen no fewer than 9 Male Vaulters over 4.00m this year.
In the Womens Riezel Buenaventura has also made the Bronze standard tying the 3.90m at a meet in Taipei. That makes 3 of the 12 athletes who made sea games standards in 2012 Vaulters.
In the Junior Womens category Fil-Heritage Alyana Nicholas (3.20) and Natasha Nalus (3.00) two 18 year olds have surpassed and currently hold the junior records. Now that Alyana has secured Filipino dual citizenship it entitles her to records.

2012 Philippines Mens All Throwing Events Final Rankings
Shotput
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
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 40 year old was closely followed by Gusti Pido who is now based in Taipei and Run4Changes UAAP Champion Kenny Gonzales who both improved on their personal best throws. 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.
.
“The Throwers Circle, being headed by the current National Throwing Champions (Ferrera, Fresnido, Mas) will be coming up with regular National Ranking Lists, in tandem with their semi-annual National Throwing competition

Nalus sores into 3.00m+ club

Nash Nalus says hello to a 2.95m National Junior Record in the Womens Pole Vault which she has now erased again . Nalus of UP was the athlete of the week in week 3 and week 5. In Week 5 she got 23 of the 28 votes. (Photo Credits: Macy Tirador)
The highlight of the second day of the University Games was 18 year old Natasha Nalus (UP) breaking her own National Junior record (2.95m set 18.08.12 during the weekly relays) and joining the 3.00m club. The leap tied here with SEA Games Long Jump Record Holder Marestella Torres, and former UAAP Standouts Nariza Rubio and Jesber Hualde who occupy the sixth to ninth places on the All Time lists.
It leads into a potentially exciting challenge for the National Junior Championship at the end of May with Fil-Heritage athlete Alyana Nicolas the same age as Nalus already clearing 3.20m this year. Albeit Alyana did not have a Philippine passport at that time so until that is obtained is not eligible for representation or the Philippine Record. Riezel Buenaventura has already surpassed the SEA Games standard of 3.90m. So it is upto Nalus and Nicolas to push each other to get the other seat on the plane to the SEA Games in Myanmar at the end of next year.
Coming in second was Nalus team mate former junior record holder Katrina Baron (2.90m) who is on the recovery from injury and equalled her season best of 2.80m.
Meanwhile in the Mens Pole Vault Adel Valdecanas got the better this time on count back against his long time rival National Junior Record Holder EJ Obiena after losing on count back the last time they competed a few weeks ago during the weekly relays. Again they both registered 4.20m.
Nalus, Baron, and Valdecanas are coached by Policeman and UP Assistant coach Mike Pelaez.
.
Cid Defends both titles
After qualifying fastest in the 400m with 49.2 easily, Cid ran down the fast starting Daniel Noval of CSB who won the 100 meter title the other day to defend his 200m title from last year albeit it was a little slower than the 21.7 he registered at Capiz. He also ran a seasons best of 53.5 to comfortably defend his title (it was just a little off the 53.1 record he had established at the UAAP in 2011). Cid recorded 48.8 secs in the final to improve on his third place finish in this event last year just outside the meet record of Christopher Demata (RTU).
Also seeing double was Cids school mate from FEU Josie Malacad, Malacad edged out 100m winner Schrijvers, in the 200m in a new personal best of 25.5 and then tidied up her title in the Womens 400m Hurdles in 1:03.1, Malacad also was very comfortable qualifying easiest fastest in the 400m with 58.5.
Malacad then sped away to easily win the 400m title in a time of 57.5. About .6s slower than the 57.04 she registered in Vietnam in June.
.
5K Favourites for UAAP
UAAP Champion Carmen Dalyn ran a new personal best in the Womens 5k in 19:03.3. Beating her best time of 19:03.55 she ran at the UAAP.
Meanwhile Rafael Poliquit (FEU) knocked nearly 6 secs off his personal best in the 5k, he had recorded 15:31.0 during the weekly relays. His time of 15:25.1 now puts him ahead in the rankings of his Run 4 Change team mates Richard Salano (UST) 15:29.5 and Christopher Ulboc 15:37.79 (pb of 15:24). And less than 4 secs away from breaking the UAAP Record of Ben Alejandrino set in 2006. It will be an exciting race in December with one of the three above breaking the record.

University Games Part 2: Event Reviews including Videos
Results and Photos (Day 1 and 2)
Womens 100m Heats and Finals
It was 17 year old 2012 Palaro Champion Mau Schrijvers who was the fastest in the heats in 12.4. The National Junior Silver medalist (12.68) in this event made it the third time to clock 12.4s which is also her personal best. 2008 Palaro Champion Ruffa Bargola (UP) was second fastest in 12.7 well off her personal best of 12.2 ran during the weekly relays. Unheralded Mae Angoring of RTU was the third fastest. Avegail Dizon fourth in the UAAP, 2011 National Junior Bronze Medalist Jacogoy, 2009-2010 Palaro Champion Michelle Loterte (UST) also made the final.
.
All eight runners lined up in the final but only the first six times were recorded in the results. It was Bargola of UP (black) who was fastest out from the blocks over the acceleration phase. The tall Schrivjers (white) and Dizon (yellow) took command during the top end phase of the race, with Mau having the best maintenance phase. Maureen Schrivjers added her second major title to her Palaro Crown with 12.5 albeit it was a bit slower than the final due to probably a wet track. Ruffa Bargola of UP who had qualified second ran the same time to get the silver her first medal in a while. Dizon improved over a tenth to snatch the bronze away from Mae Angoring who couldn’t cope with the rainy conditions and finished sixth. By the looks of the video it seems like Bargola was lucky to claim the silver as a photo finish would have seen Dizon clearly in front. The rest of the field was well out of it at least a body lengths behind third place. So probably not right the .1s difference between Bargola and Dizon.
Mens 100m Heats and Finals
According to Daniel Noval, their where three heats. Anfernee Lopena ran a a seasons best of 10.7ht to win his heat, while Noval won his heat in 10.7ht also. Lopena the 2011 Palaro 400m Champion from Bohol transferred to CSB from Holy Name University in Cebu after that school decided to axe the track and field team due to budget cuts. Lopena has had some very good runs over the shorter distances during the weekly relay. His team mate Noval on the other hand is a 2 time Palaro and 2 time NCAA Champion in the 100m. Also qualifying was NCAA JR Record Holder Jasper Tanhueco as third fastest, 2011 National Junior 200/400m Champion Noli Torres of Dasma also made the Final.
Only the first five athletes had times recorded in a damp final. Daniel Noval who obviously had kept something in reserve running the identical time of 10.62 ht, Noval led the race from start to finish pulling away in the maintenance phase of the race.. Lopena was a little slower this time in 10.9 and Jasper Tanhueco was third in 11 flat. It was gold and silver for Mighty Cebu. From the video it looks like Tanhueco leaning backwards and dipping early during the maintenance phase, enabled Lopena to pip him for the silver.
,
Womens 200m Final
At 120m it looked like Schrijvers (white) was destined for the sprint double. She was 5m clear of the field. However a strong surge saw Josie Malacad (yellow) run her down in the last 40m of the race.
.
Mens 200m Final
This was only ever a two man race. Noval (white) came off the bend the fastest with probably a little bit of a lead on Cid. However Cid who was bobbing his head tilted side to side over whelmed the little guy in a neck to neck battle all the way to the finish line.
.
Womens 400m Heats
National 400m Hurdles Champion Josie Malacad qualified easily fastest to the final of the Womens 400m. Malacad who was the only athlete to break 1m00.0 in the Heats recorded her personal best of 57.04et to take silver at the South Vietnam Open. The graceful striding Malacad took the womens 400m looking very comfortable. Perhaps a sign the 56.78 UAAP Record set by Ana Leah Hugo in 1997 could be gone next month. The runner of RTU was second in 59.7 and everyone else was 1m00+.
.
400M Mens Heats and Finals
Jesson Rami Cid was the fastest easily of the heat qualifiers. Cid the third fastest 400m man this year, will be lining up in the Decathlon and 4x400m next month in Thailand. Also qualifying to the final was UAAP Silver medalist *Bhardos and ‘Actor’ Jerico Ejercito.
The Final was an easy win for Cid who came off the bend 5 meters ahead and pulled further away from the field. Cid won in 48.8 just outside the games record of Christopher Demata last year. The next couple of runners across the line recorded 50s+
Womens 100m Hurdles
Michelle Loterte narrowly goes in as the favorite for the final. Loterte is only missing this title and the National Senior title from her resume. She was the Milo Little Olympic Champion 2008-2009, Palaro Champion 2010-2011 in this event, UAAP Champion 2012 and National Junior Champion. Her best time of 15.18et was established during the PNG in Dumaguete earlier this year. Loterte finished fourth in this final last year.
Her main opponent will be her team mate Banex2 who is the 2011 UAAP Champion with a personal best of 15.1 hand timed to win that title. This is the best form she has been in a for a while. Also in the final is Lea Casilihan who was the Junior silver medalist at the 2011 PNG in this event. Casilihan tied the time she had ran last Saturday during the weekly relay. Just outside her personal best again of 15.86 where she finished 5th in the UAAP Final. Last years winner Jaycel Casabuenca of Capiz who won the event last year in 15.4 did not compete.
In what could be described as one of the shocking defeats of the games under dog teenager Angela Eunice Balatibat the SCUAA Champion held off the countries best Hurdler Michelle Loterte in a scramble to the finish line ending her winning streak of over a year.
Balatibat seemed to cope better with the wet conditions improving half a second from her personal best to take the title. Loterte edged out hr team mate Viena Mae Banebane for silver and bronze. With the other three runners well out of the race. Everyone seemed to run half a second or more slower except for Balatibat in this race. It seemed as if Michelle who was leading the field by about half a bodies width stumbled on the wet track clearing the seventh hurdle and had to slow down before the eight hurdle to regain her ryhthm which saw Casilihan and Balatibat draw level. Casilihan was taken out of the three way race by the ninth hurdle after hitting it. Balaitbat was able to out sprint Michelle at the end and threw her hands in the air going over the line.
.
1500M Women Final
UAAP Champion Dalyn Carmen continued her fine form from the Weekly Relays a few days ago to again beat team mate and UAAP Silver Medalist Mary Ann Dela Cruz. This time the girls improved from 4.58 to 4.53 and 4.57 to 4.55. Carmen best time of 4.51.23 was established during the last UAAP. Unheralded Jelyn Duran took the calps of some better established juniors to take Bronze. Barit? (Bakit) the 2011 Palaro Champion and Vanessa De Valle the 2011 Palaro Silver medalist who have both broken 5 mins before in this event both failed to medal.
.
Mens 1500m Finals
Christopher Ulboc in his debut over 1500m this year ran the second fastest time of 2012 (4:00.9) . Ulboc best time of 3:58.6 was established during the weekly relays last year. ‘Considerable beef’ was added to the four names so far ranked for 2012 with the top three in this race adding themselves to that list.
.
WOMENS LONG JUMP FINAL
Not very good overall results in the Long Jump. A few years ago Dato-on won this event in 5.81m. Dolloso and Bermudo did much better in the Triple Jump.
MENS LONG JUMP FINAL
Some very impressive results in the Mens Long Jump. 2012 has been a good year now with nine male long jumpers leaping over 7.00m and lifting the standard of this event in the Philippines! wait until the ranking lists come out. Unheralded Mark Fabro was the surprise winner with a leap of 7.06m, coached by former National Decathlete Arnold Villarube. NCAA Bronze medalist Mark Harry Diones improved his best leap from 6.89 to 7.06m for silver. 18 year old Janry Ubas went from 6.85 to 7.01, and Melbert Diones who was fourth was just 3cm off his personal best.
*7.00m is now the new standard to making the Mens Ranking List in 2013.
WOMEN’S TRIPLE JUMP FINAL
Hometown Girl Felyn Dolloso (DLSU) returned home to win the Girls Triple Jump in 12.28m. Felyn who broke the National Junior Record during the 2012 PNG with a 12.55m leap, first came to prominence breaking the Palaro Record in 2010 with a 12.35m leap and also won the 2011 UAAP. She missed the 2012 UAAP due to academic reasons.
Also leaping above 12m was second place Joean Bermudo (FEU) the UAAP Champion this year whose 12.03m leap was just 2cm shy off her career best performance at the UAAP. The entire field was slightly off or a lot of their best performances considering the bad weather conditions where it rained heavily.
.
.
MENS TRIPLE JUMP FINAL
Also some great results in the Mens Triple Jump with JRU Brothers Melbert and Mark Diones taking gold and silver.

Shot put
Like the Discus the national record has remained untouched in this event set by Consuela Salibis-Lacusong 37 years ago in Cebu City.
Veteran Heptathlete Narcisca Atienza, topped the High Jump, Heptathlon and Shot put ranking lists this year. Atienza (12.09m) was the only shot putter over 12 and 11 meters this year. The Shot put is still an event the Philippines is weak at with no medal chance at SEA Games for a long time. Atienza was followed by five juniors Sombilla, Tan, Terpstra , De Oro, and Isada who have thrown over 10 meters.
Sombilla and Tan finished first and second at the UAAP. Terpstra won the Junior title at the National Games and De Oro the Palaro Pambansa title.
This year eight athletes threw over 10m, compared to five last year. The standard for next years ranking increased from 9.50m to 9.80m.
.
Javelin

33 year-old Rosie (‘arr’) Villarito continued her dominance in this event with a seasons best of 48.84m. Villarito who was second at the Last SEA Games, is the 2009 SEA Games Champion.
Emerging junior Evalyn Palabrica was the most prominent Javelin Thrower this season however improving her best throw to 41.55m and then breaking Villarito Junior Record (44.54m) which had stood since 1998 with a 44.73m to win the UAAP and then representing the Philippines for the first time at the ASEAN Uni Games finished behind the SEA Games Gold Medalist from Indonesia with a throw of 45.43m again breaking her own Junior Record.
SEA Games silver medalist in the Heptathlon Narcisca Atienza was third (43.68m) this year on the rankings .
The emergence however of several promising juniors such as 18 year-olds Palabrica, and 2011 Palaro Champion Stephanie Cimatu (40.18m) and Fil-Heritage athlete Cerah Moren (38.42m) who is 13, showed that their is likely continuity of success in this event.
The Criteria for the Javelin this year was 36m, eight athletes exceeded this mark compared to five last year. The standard for 2013 rankings stays at 36.00m.
Discus
For 47 years Big ‘Joe’ de la Vina has held the national junior and 41 years the senior record in this event. The last athlete to win a medal at the SEA Games was now national coach Roselyn Hamero. The only athlete to throw over 40 meters since then has been Maikahn De Oro who registered 40.25m at the 2011 Palaro in Dapitan. The 18-year old De Oro from Bacolod leads the charge again this time with 38.96m to win the Junior title at Dumaguete.
19 year-old Twinkle Masilang (DLSU) is the UAAP Champion with 37.11m #9 all time lists. As the Discus and Shot put are events which athletes peak at a later age it is difficult with the retirement of collegiate athletes such as Judelyn Capistrano (RTU) and Micah Sibayan (Ateneo) to maintain continuity in these events.
Ira Mae Hernandez (UE) also improved her best throw to 36.88m.The Standard for this event was 30m but this is now increasing to 32.37m in 2013. In 2011 only four athletes exceeded 32m, this year it was ten.
.
Hammer
Another veteran dominated this event which is the case in throwing events where athletes can peak into the 30+ age range. 31 year old SEA Games Bronze Medalist Loralie Amahit Sermona improved her national record to 50.23m. Read about it here. She was well clear of UAAP Champion Kenneth Grace Ferrera (FEU) whose 37.79m fell slightly short of the UAAP Record of Annabell Sioson.
The standard for Hammer was 27m in 2012, however it will be raised to 28m in 2013. Eight athletes threw over 29m in 2012 compared to six in 2011.

Philippines NCAA Records (rev 1)
Attached is a list of NCAA Records for Mens and Boys in (XLS) excel spreadsheet format.
.
Several Notes in regards to the list
- For sprint races I have included the better hand time, better electronic time with no wind-reading and electronic time with a wind gauge. As the UAAP timing fluctuates from year to year with some years no wind gauge, some years no electronic timing its best to compare meets to one another which are operating with same conditions in terms of timing.
.
- In Events over 800m, better hand-timing is deemed replacable to electronic timing if the time is .14 faster than the electronic equivalent.
.
- In the case of two athletes having the same mark the record is awarded to the athlete who set the mark first and the other mark is not included in the list of records.
.
This list should be considered a revised work in progress as I do not have access to a full set of UAAP Records from every UAAP meet. I urge the athletic community to provide me with information as stated below to help me with this project. All the records provided are correct official results from the UAAP. And proof in the form of official results must be provided to verify claims.
