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.

An athlete excluded from the lineup for the last SEA Games continued to lower her personal best. Vitug actually qualified for the last sea games as her mark of 4m34 was actually below the 4m38 bronze standard.
Fil-Heritage middle distance runner Sarah Jane Vitug carried on her astounding early season form clocking a performance of 4m32 (official results to come). The time broke her personal best of 4m34.37 set two years ago. The 23 year old whose both parents our Filipinos will see action at the National Games at the end of May.

Vitug is the #2 fastest Filipina women ever over 1500m, edged closer towards the national record of Marietta T. Magno set over 2 decades ago in 1989 with a time of 4m24.87. The SEA Games bronze standard is 4m21 meaning Vitug will need to break the national record on her way to surpassing the SEA Games standard.

For Kayla this performance meets many mile stones. According to my listing it puts her in the top 10 all time lists but off memory she is now 10th= with Mona Sulaiman. (As my computer is packed in a box i cant check this). The time is also a new best age grade performance for 15 year old’s lowering her time last week from 12.01et to 11.94et. It ties her with Saraina Hedgepeth as the 3rd fastest junior Filipina of all time.
The marks put her .18 seconds off PJ Griffey Junior Record (11.75et, 2004) and .2 seconds off the SEA Games bronze standard of 11.73et.
