Renato Unso ‘The Heartbreak Kid’ who shattered the national record.

January 24, 2013 pirieenzo 3 comments

The Philippines enjoyed a fabulous streak in the early 80s at SEA Games with three 400 Hurdlers in 1981 Grafillo, 1983 Unso and 1985 Arnillo claiming the 400 Hurdle crown. It was Renato Unso who at these games would set the undisputed Philippine Record of 51.26 which till this day remains untouched.

Unso was born 25th of April 1957 orphaned at the age of nine he overcame poverty. In fact, it was poverty and its many challenges that molded him to become a Sea Games gold medalist, teacher, motivational speaker and formerly as Dean of Human Kinetics of the PUP.

He won the 1978 Palarong Pambansa Tertiary 110 Hurdles in 15.5 but finished second in the 400 Hurdles to Angelito Aguilar who went onto set a meet record later on (54.6 to 55.2).

Jose Unso at the 1983 SEA Games in Singapore

Gintong Alay Coach Tony Benson said Unso had the makings of a world class hurdler. However in Manila it seemed Unso cracked under the pressure of a home crowd.

At his first SEA Games in 1981 Unso finished last in the 110 Hurdles final, he was credited with a very fast 14.5 hand timed in the heats which may have seen him close to a medal in the final if he had the same type of run. He won the second heat of the 400 Hurdles in 53.32 beating Nyan Chong-Jong of Malaysia. In the final he finished fourth and just 6/100th outside a medal in fourth in the 400 Hurdles with a time of 53.46. Team mate Grafilo won the race going onto set an electronic Filipino National Record at 52.19, with Chong-Jong taking Silver.(*The best mark at that time was Abdul Guipaur hand-time from 1974 of 51.8).

Unso was given the label of ‘The Heartbreak kid’ by news reporters. “Oh yes i remember i went under instead of over. I was a certainty that lost” he later told a reporter.

“I cannot forget that season, but my mind was never set on it then.” he said of 1981 SEA Games.

At the Palaro open division in 1982 in 15.4 aswell as the 400 Hurdles in 54.4. Later that year Unso would break through to his first international win at the ASEAN Cup winning the 400 Hurdle title. He returned a different athlete at the next SEA Games.

Leading upto the SEA Games Unso clocked 52.01 at the National Championships erasing the National Record set by Jaime Grafillo.

At these games he won heat 1 of the 110 Hurdles beating Heru Prayogo of Indonesia with the fasest qualifying time of 14.80. However in the final in a hairline finish Prayogo took the gold 14.75 to 14.76. Unso time of 14.76 however broke the nine year old National Record of Marcelo Benauro and stood until 1997.

The greatest race of his career would come in a superb 400 Hurdles final where he led from start to finish .

Unso recorded a time of 51.26 to win the 1983 SEA Games in Singapore which until this day is the National Record 30 years on, this would be the last time Unso would compete at the SEA Games.

After the 1983 Asian Championships Unso decided to retire early at the age of 26 after tearing his hamstring in Kuwait. “Im not even going to go back to running.” “Last Weeks Asian Champs was my swan song”. He took up a role with the Gintong Alay as a coach “Now ill just worry about passing on my knowledge to youngsters coming into the Gintong Alay scheme”

Unso did however make a return at the 1986 ASEAN Track and Field Champs in Singapore with bronze in the 110 Hurdles in a time of 15.21.

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.

Jasper Tanhueco won the Bronze last UAAP.

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.

Cid in action at the PNG has the fastest 100m time of UAAP athletes this year

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

Patrick Unso

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.

Jose Unso

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.

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.

Hanelyn Loquinto

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.

DLSU Sprinter Maureen Schrijvers

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

Rieveneth Penarubia

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.

Philippine Mens 110 and 400 Hurdles Final Ranking List 2012 (rev 1)

October 24, 2012 pirieenzo Leave a comment

Philippines Mens 110m Hurdles

Patrick Unso

It was a very exciting year for an event which still lags behind the SEA Games standard. For eleven years the National Record of Alonzo Jardin (14.75) stood as the bench mark for every hurdler in the country but also reminded the athletic community how far behind we were from winning a sea games medal in this event. This all changed last year when Patrick Unso despite finishing sixth in the SEA Games broke both the Junior and the Senior record with a run of 14.58.

Unso recorded 14.78 at the UAAP, but this was surpassed as the season leader by Darwin Tuliao former UST athlete studying at Chinese Cultural University in Taipei. He improved his best time to 14.74 which became the 2nd fastest time ever, finishing fourth at the University Games of Taipei. Unso later bettered this by winning the PNG in 14.65.

After finishing runner up to his brother Jose Unso at the UAAP Finals in December Patrick bounced back to win silver in the ASEAN University Games in Laos clocking 14.49 and breaking his SEA Games record. This put him closer to the SEA Games standard set in that race for the bronze medal is obtainable but difficult at 14.14.

There were a couple of very quick yet, doubtfully fast times by Juniors Michael Man-ay and Lorenzo Capajo at the PNG aswell continuing on the strong tradition of junior hurdlers. It was Capajo who had the upset win over Man-ay who was third last year at the PNG behind Unso, and Robert Francisco. Fransico was not able to race at the PNG where he would have been the favorite in the junior division due to injuries sustained at the NCAA.

The Criteria cut off for the 110 Hurdles 15.1 (ht) and 15.34 (et) for both senior and junior heights remains for 2013.

.
400 Hurdles an Unso for every occasion

BANO!!!

It was Junrey Bano (4th in SEA Games) who led the lists with another consistent sub 52 clocking of 51.84. Both sons of the National Record Holder Renato Unso (51.26) in this event featured in both the 100 and 400 Hurdle ranking lists. Patrick recorded a PB of 53.82, and Jose more recently at the weekly relays broke his 4 year old best time of 54.0 with a 53.6 clocking.

Philippines Womens 100m / 400m Hurdles Final Rankings

October 1, 2012 pirieenzo 4 comments

Please note both girls and women’s hurdles are set at the same height.

The crown of the countries next best women hurdler is vacant with the retirement of National Record Holder Sheena Atilano.

100 Hurdles

Palmares-Loterte

With the retirement of National Record Holder Sheena Atilano and the departure from the sport of her heir Zara Dela Virgo (UAAP Record Holder), with no women hurdler of that quality a gaping hole has been left in the Womens Hurdles for now. 19 year-old Michelle Palmares Loterte (UST) leads the list with the UAAP and PNG Junior titles. Loterte has won the Milo Little Olympics, Palaro, UAAP and PNG Junior titles in succesive progress. Her last loss in this event was to Capiz Jaycel Casabuenca at the University Games last year.

After a shocking defeat at the Uni Games to SCUAA Champion Angelica Balatibat of RTU. Michelle Loterte improved her best time this season from the PNG without much training at all from 15.18 to 15.11. Loterte whose judgement to race in the Junior Division in Thailand paid off when she snagged the Bronze medal. Loterte then improved her performance to 14.96 to defend her UAAP title. She then followed this up with a bronze medal at the ASEAN University Games in 15.10.

Hot on her heels was Heptathlete Mildrid Salut (FEU) who took the bronze medal at the UAAP in 15.03 seconds. 10 Hurdlers ran below 15.7ht this year compared to 9 last year. The criteria cut off of 15.8ht to 16.04et remains in place for 2013.

400m Hurdles

Josie Malacad (Photo Credits: Roselyn Hamero)

The 400 Hurdles is led by Josie Malacad (FEU) 1:02.30, who will need to break 1:00 in order to qualify for SEA Games. Malacad has shown some rather gradual improvement in her event, but had a very good improvement in the 400 flat taking her best time down to 57.04 in Vietnam. Malacad is the UAAP and National Champion in the event. Malacad improved her 400 Hurdles time again for the third time this season to 1:01.90.

Impressive also this year was her fast improving 16 year old team mate Raiveneth Penarubia whose time of 1:03.96 puts her fourth on the Junior All time list. 14 athletes ran below 1:07 compared to 10 last year. 1:07 again will remain the bench mark for 2012.

Palaro 98 and 2012 (merged)

September 25, 2012 pirieenzo 4 comments

1998 Centennial Palarong Pambansa, Bacolod

The 1998 Palarong Pambansa which celebrates 100 years of Philippines Independence was held in Bacolod. This event saw the emergence of many future national stars and future national coaches (then as athletes). This is a partial listing of results that i had saved way back in 1998 when i first got the internet, this was when I was starting out as an athlete in my early high school days and became a follower of Filipino Track stats. Surprisingly these results are no longer available on the internet and have survived several hard drive crashes and reformats unlike other documents I once had.

Please note back then the Palarong Pambansa had three divisions, Elementary, High School and College or Primary, Secondary and Tertiary.

Day 2

SEA Games Double 2001-2003 400m Gold Medalist Ernie Candelario

The meet started off well with Herminia Peranda breaking the 10K Womens Record beating Enate Sayrol. In the Pole Vault Anna Natad then 19 leapt 2.60m, which was a Filipino Junior Record at the time. Natad later went onto to jump 2.90m which was the senior record until it was broken by Marestella Torres.
In the Mens Javelin Edmund Ramos (a resident of the famous gate 7) is fourth, he later changed his event to 400 Hurdles.
The Long Jump Tertiary is interesting with Former National Team mainstay Raphie Pilaspilas winning in 7.19m, from his team mate Ernie Candelario 7.04m (who would later become a sea games champion in the 400m twice). Roland Canta who would become a member of the training pool was fourth in that event.
Mayven De Oro, the relative of Maika De Oro won the Elem Shotput.
Future SEA Games Bronze Medalist Jerro Perrater broke the Palaro Record in the Mens Hammer Throw.

Day 4

The 1998 Palarong Pambansa saw the emergence and rise of Marestella Torres

Penaranda added the 5k womens record to the 10k record she had previously set.
A 17 year old Marestella Torres won the High School Long Jump in 5.54m this was the palaro record until it was broken in 2002 by Maricel Sibog. Former training pool sprinter Leslie Mercado was second. Sibog who was then in her first year of high school leapt 4.92m for 5th place.
National Throws Coach Nixon Mas won the Mens Shotput in a Palaro Record of 13.72m well ahead of his opponents, his Davao team mate Airforce man Jordan Oberez was 5th in 1m56 in a very closely fought mens 800m. Mas also won the discus in 39.10m, with Gerro Perrater also competing.
It was a famous trifecta with all three records in elementary-secondary-tertiary boys 100m records broken at this meet.
In the Boys 100m it was probably the fastest elementary field assembled with Nasser Tacongcong of ARMM running 11.4 seconds a mark which still stands unchallenged until this day. Though alot of them are probably overaged the first four in that said event broke 12 seconds.
Ronald Calaunan clocked 10.7s (10.69 hand), according to these results. However the Palaro record is listed as 10.9? does this mean that the 10.7 was the recording on the first stop watch and the other times made it round off to 10.9. 10.9 has been ran by Calaunan (98), De Ocampo (06) and Noval (11) which makes it a joint record. However if Calaunan 10.7 is the official mark that means he is the sole owner. Ronnie Marfill who later became a member of the 4x400m medal relay team at SEA Games was 7th in that said event in 11.3.
Marfill won the boys 400m in 51.1 with Hypersports co-founder Vicente Sy third. Marfills future relay mate Ernie Candelario won the mens 400m in (49.1)
Benson Penarubia clocked 10.6s which is the Palaro Record, however careful research shows that Mario Tabuano ran 10.5 or 10.6 at earlier editions of this meet in what is the equivalent of the Tertiary division. Therefore he should atleast be the joint holder in this event. Top sprinter Orlando Erece who once dated Nancy Navalta was second in 10.7 and UAAP Champion Nathaniel Moral was third in 11.0, Airforce man Elmer Billones who had a pb of 10.6ht was fourth in 11.0, with University of Mindanao Coach Harrish Natag fifth in 11.0.
In the Secondary Girls 800m, future sea games representatives Rosel Espinas (later UE) Nhee Ann Bharcena (later DLSU) finished 4th and 5th. But went onto run better performances than the girls that beat them.
Jonah Genilza who later joined DLSU and was a member of the training pool won the Secondary Girls 100m in 12.1s, ahead of Irene Mujar of BRAA who was the holder of the Elementary Record in 100m the previous year and finish 5th. Genilza time was faster than the winner of the Tertiary Girls Marietta Rapadas 12.3s.

Day 5

Genilza also set a Palaro record of 58.1 in the 400m. This was the record until 2011 when Jennyrose Rosales broke it with 57.4.
Rene Herrera and Julius Sermona future olympian/sea games gold medalist 4-5 times in Steeples and sea games medalist finished first and third in the Mens 5k.
Canta won the Mens Triple Jump from Raphie Pilaspilas who placed third.
In elementary girls 100m Hurdles future FEU UAAP Record Holder Zara Dela Virgo won the gold. While in the secondary division Amelia Fransisco who represented the Philippines at the Asian Juniors the next year won from Julie Rose Forbes. Forbes who later represented FEU would go onto set the JR Record in the 100m Hurdles at 14.61 in 2002. Also impressive in the seniors was winner Sheena Atilano who later went onto break the national record of Elma Muros. Pole Vaulter Natad picked up the bronze. Mary Grace Melgar who finished 5th in this event later went on to win the silver in the 400m and 400m Hurdles at SEA Games.
Mercidita ‘Bunso’ Manipol (now Fetalvero) who later went on to set the 5K National Record was second in the 1500m.

.
Day 6

Olympian Henry Dagmil

Manipol also finished second in the 3k run again behind Marites Acomyo.
Maris Cottoner who later would set the secondary record won the elementary high jump.
Again there was a trifecta of records in the 200m in all 3 divisions. Tacongcong running 23.7s in elementary which still stands, Calauan ran 22.2s beating Ronnie Marfill, this record was tied by Daniel Noval in 2011. Penarubia set a 21.7 record in the mens division, Erece 22.0, and Ernie Candelario 22.1.
Charmei Cabale set a record in the elementary girls 200m of 26.94, which was later broken by Maureen Emily Schrivjers. Genilza ran a quick 25.3.
Jerry Baldon of Davao was second in the boys triple jump.
Boys Secondary Long Jump was won by future national record holder, olympian and sea games champion x2 Henry Dagmil who leapt 6.86m, ahead of Baldon.
Forbes won the 400m High School Hurdles, Forbes later went on to finish 5th at the Asian Juniors in 2002 and set the still standing Philippine Junior Record.
Former SEA Games athlete Domingo Manata was second in the 400m Hurdles mens.
Future 3ks stand out Rene Herrera won the Mens 3ks.
Future High Jump Record Holder and now national coach Sean Guevarra won the silver in the pole vault.

Synopsis from articles by Airnel T. Abarra

The 2012 Palarong Pambansa returned to Lingayen, Pangasinan province after seventeen years. The Palarong Pambansa was first held at Lingayen in 1959 when it was then the Bureau of Public Schools Interscholastic Athletics Association (BPISAA).

Day One: Fuentes takes home more than just the long jump gold

Fuentes Soars to a new Palarong Pambansa Record

The highlight of Day 1 came from Julian Reem Fuentes of Region 2. Fuentes who came in second to Western Visayas (WV) Gerald Layumas last year in an epic 6.86 to 6.85 lock out (Layumas went on to win the UAAP title this year for DLSU). Fuentes this year not only satisfied his hunger for the gold but dished out a new Palaro record with 7.26m. Erasing the ten year old secondary boys 7.15m record of Paolo Martinez set at the 2002 Palaro in Bicol. So dominant was Fuentes in the event the silver was a very distant 6.45m.

Fuentes jump was the 2^nd best jump of 2012 at the time behind Dagmil’s opening jump of 7.43m at the Laguna time trials. Fuentes leap is the 4^th best ever performance by a junior behind Joebert Delicano (7.55), Teodoro Nonato (7.33), and Marayag (7.31). Fuentes will have this year and next to go after the national junior mark which has stood for thirteen years.

Cabanyog takes the shotput record but not a personal best

Richie Joy Cabanyog of WV went into the Palaro with a best throw of 14.15m from regional palaro. Last years silver medalist this time hurled the shot-put 13.90m although not his best throw it was still enough to erase the record of his team mate Efraem Gesulgon who won last year in 13.68m.

Cabanyog Palaro Record was not even his personal best throw.

Meanwhile in the Javelin Evalyn Palabrica exchanged her silver medal last year for the gold in the girls javelin with a 39.61m throw for the WV ahead of Rinalyn Apos 36.90m (Region 13).

Day Two: New Century Dash Hopefuls

LINGAYEN, PANGASINAN- With defending champion and outright pre-race favourite Romnick Nor( CMRAA) out due to a hamstring injury the 100m will be a head-to-head match. Joining them are Central Luzon’s (CLRAA) Jomar Ubtoman who clocked 11.0 just edging NCR Rodquem Maullom also 11.0 and team mate Terenz Tengol (CLRAA) 11.1 in their time trials respectively. With the absence of Nor, this will be the a closely contested final in the games history with first to last running 11.0 and 11.2. These athletes are the ones to be watched on the day three of Athletics competition of Palarong Pambansa 2012 this 9-May.

Meanwhile in the distaff side, Maureen Schrivjers of NCR will try to joust her rivals in the century dash and possibly add to the elementary title she won FOUR years ago. Mau for the past three years finished well outside of the medals despite going in as the favourite on times . Team mate Perlitia M. Ynot taking the second slot with a time of 12.6, and Glaiza Salcedo clocking 12.7 in their trials. Also barging into the finals was Eloisa Luzon (12.7) who won the silver medal last year and Batang Pinoy Champion Mary Anthony Diesto (12.8) (With reports from Airnel T. Abarra)

Week 1 Report, July 14th

With a lot of National level athletes skipping this meet due to recovery phases from overseas meets and alot of college athletes having academic commitments performances were thin across the events.

FEU Dalyn Carmen won the 3k womens narrowly from her team mate Mary Ann Dela Cruz both having been active on the road running circuit. While UPHR man Elrick Paines had the fastest 100m time with 11.0, National training pool Josie Malacad after two very good performances in Vietnam last week had a run over the shorter 100m finishing second behind rookie team mate Raiveneth Penarubia.

2012 PSC-PATAFA Weekly Relay Results – Week 1

Week 2 Report, July 21st

(Jul 19) A rain drenched second week of the weekly relay serie at Pasig Ultra, caused several field events to be cancelled and performances to be sub-par. However some of the running events did push through. The best performance came from National Bronze 800m Medalist Jordan Paul Billones (who was using Wenlie Maulas BIB Number) who easily won the 2nd timed race running solo in 50.2 in the pooring rain. (Paul recorded his personal best for 400m of 49.7 during the Hypersports Time Trials last April).

.( Aug 2) The 800m was going to be the feature event of this weekly relays however on July 28 the times were a bit slower than usual. SEA Games Silver Medalist and National Champion Mervin Guarte of SSC (San Sebastian College) won in 1.55.5, ahead of Steeple Chaser Christopher Ulboc FEU 1.55.9 (PB) (Far Eastern University) and National Bronze Medalist Jordan Paul Billones 1.56.3 (Unattached). Absent from the race was National Silver Medalist Wenlie Maulas of UE (University of the East).

Guarte just did enough to win his best time is 1.50.65 from sea games and this year 1.52.19 at the PNG (Philippine National Games) in May. Billones also was behind his best time which was 1.53.78 at the PNG. Guartes training partner Ulboc stepping down to the shorter distance improved his PB which was 1.56.71 back in 2009.

Malacad Disqualified

Josie Malacad (Photo Credits: Roselyn Hamero)

Another member of the national training pool, Josie Malacad of FEU who performed so brilliantly in Vietnam last month (new pb 400 hurdles 1.02.30 and 400m 57.04) also did enough to win the womens 400 Hurdles in a time of 1:06.0 unfortunatley she was disqualified for running out of her lane for side clearing (explained below in comments).

Meanwhile in the Mens Division, Decathlete Jesson Ramil Cid of FEU clocked a modest 54.9 to win his 400 Hurdles clearly. Cid was not far off his season best of 54.79 he set at the UAAP earlier this year, but still quite far off the 53.1 he established at the UAAP last year. (interestingly enough the 400 Hurdles is not part of the ten events which make up the Decathlon).

Cousins cleanup in sprints

FEU women had three collegiate 4×100 relays and took the first three spots. While in the mens FEU newest recruit Isidro Del Prado Jr. aka. Tilo (formally of College of Saint Benilde, and son of Isidro Del Prado 400m record holder) anchored his team to a 42.4 win over JRU 43.3.

In the Mens 200m, Tilo’s cousin Pearnel Lobos of JRU (formally of FEU, the son of 4×4 national record holder Perla Balatucan), had the fastest 200m time with 22.5. Lobos who was one of the favourites at the national games in the junior 100m last may, before pulling his hamstring in the finals. While in womens Heptathlete Mildrid Salut of FEU ran 26.8 in women’s.

Pole Vaulters

Emerson Obiena

National Coach and Masters Athlete Emerson Obiena won the mens pole vault over a bunch of athletes 25 years his junior with a leap of 4.00m. His brother Edward was 5th in 3.60m.

National team member Riezel Buenaventura who is coached by Emerson, was another national athlete who had a comfortable win with a 3.40m leap some 50cm of her personal best. The National Record is held by Filam Deborah Samson who leapt 4.11m back in 2008 at the California regionals. Samson also jumped 4.12m before obtaining a Filipino passport. The impression though left in the juniors was by upcoming junior Natasha (Nash) Marie Nalus whose first pole vault leap in a competition of 2.80m put her at #5 on the junior all-time list. Her training partner Katrina Baron holds the Junior Record at 2.90m from last year.

Palabrica breaks through

FEU Rookie 18-year-old Evalyn Palabrica who won the Palaro Pambansa Javelin representing Western Visaya’s earlier this year (39.61m), got the better of team-mate Jenefer Penepona with a throw of 39.40m. Penepona the UAAP Champion whose best is 41.66m was well off target with a throw of 35.63m.

In Mens Discus National Games Silver medalist Joel Sta. Mina of FEU won with 37.81m (PNG 40.25m).

*The Poll is now closed, the voters have chosen Pole Vaulter Natasha (Nash) Nalus of University of the Philippines as the performance of the weekly relays week. YUN OH!

romnick nor pearnel lobos philippine naitonal games

Double National JR Champion Romnick Nor (Orange) shows good sportsmanship helping injured Pearnel Lobos (Blue) off the track at the National Games.

JRU Pearnel Lobos was the top man in the 200m with the days best time of 22.3 (pb 22.36 UAAP), 18-year old Lobos who was one of the favourites in the Boys 100m last PNG until pulling him hamstring in the final. Unknown Gabriel Santos? of Letran won heat 1 in 22.4. Palaro 2011 400m Champion Anfrenee Lopena (transferred from University of San Recoletos Cebu to College of Saint Benilde, originally from Bohol) made a return to the track after more than a years absence to win heat 8 in 22.7. UAAP 100m Bronze medalist Jasper (DLSU) Tanhueco won the fourth heat in 22.8.

Some very quick times in the girls 200m with St. Francis of Assisi 16-year old Marilyn Avila (96) winning heat 1 in 26.2, her team-mate another speed teenager Christine Del Rio (96) topped the 5th heat in 26.5. The quickest time in the boys 200m was 23.0, the name is not listed if anyone knows please post in the comments. The girls posted faster times than the winner of the womens Mildrid Salut (FEU) 26.6.

Nothing special in the mens 800m this week with the top three at the nationals Guarte, Maulas, Billones and the inform Ulboc deciding to sit this one out. The times in the event for some reason were a bit slow. The winner was JRU Roldan Verano the 21-year old has a personal best of 1.53.6 (2011 NCAA), however could only manage 1.57.5 for the win in the first heat, Rafael Poliquit (FEU) 1.58.9 probably a personal best time finished behind him. Michael ‘Topix’ Villamor (UPHR) who was fourth at the nationals timed 2.03.7, which was well behind his personal best of 1.55.04 (PNG 2011 Bacolod) and his seasons best 1.56.60 (2nd 2012 NCAA).

In the Mens Pole Vault it seemed everyone wanted to jump 3.80m. 37-year old Antonio Chee and 48-year old National Champion Emerson Obiena emerged joint winners. Then on countback 2010 UAAP Champion Zek Valera, National Junior Record Holder EJ Obiena (returning from broken bone injury), and upcoming Robert Miguel Nasis (UP) all registering 3.80m also.

Luckily for the men Riezel Buenaventura wasnt jumping around her best as it would have meant the indignity of being upstaged by a women. Buenaventura registered 3.60m. But the real excitement came from the second placer Natasha (Nash) Marie Nalus who broke the Philippine Junior Record with a leap of 2.95m read more here. Former record holder and training partner Katrina Baron had a slight improvement with a 2.40m leap.

Also on the improvement trail was FEU Evalyn Palabrica who is looking like the favourite heading towards the UAAP Javelin. The 18-year old who was only throwing 36m at the Palaro in June improved her best again from 39.61 to 41.55. This time increasing the margin of victory over defending UAAP Champion and team-mate Jennfer Penepona 38.55m (pb 41.66m last uaap). The improvement has catapulted Palabrica from 8th to 3rd on the all time junior list. Only Record Holder and former SEA Games Champion Rosie Villarito (44.54) and Palaro Record Holder Stephanie Cimatu (42.34) are ahead now.

Weekly Relay BIB Numbers

Several athletes had complained that BIB Numbers were made of very flimsy paper material which was very easy to rip. Hence they used their team mates BIB Numbers as their original number was originally destroyed.

I recall how when I first competed way back in 2000 at the National Open the BIB’s where made of more durable Cotton. These concerns and suggestions have been passed onto the PATAFA. (please post comments)

Report

(Aug 25) Some very fast times reported by unknowns and super fast times upto #9? possibly relating to Bib Swapping or timing issues? PATAFA encoder and staff is investigating and checking with the time keepers. Seven Days after the said event

For now the results should be considered on hold as the winning time listed as two of the times listed are faster than what Rene Herrera ran during the olympic games.

An incredibly fast set of results, which is currently being amended by PATAFA. For the record I did not notice most of these names as none of them are ranked faster than 15m45 this year.

2011 Palaro 400m Champion Anfernee Lopena (running as Jason Benitez BIB) of CSB had the fastest time taking out the first heat in a new best time of 10.9. Lopena originally from Bohol but who transferred from Cebu smashed his previous best time of 11.50. National Hurdles Record Holder Patrick Unso (DLSU) also clocked the same time but a bit later on winning heat 11.

Hypersports girls 4x100 national champions

All Four Members of the Hypersports Womens 4x100m Junior Womens National Champion’s where in action in week 6. From Left to Right. Loterte, Rosales, Schrijvers and Angco.

In the first heat Jenny Rose Rosales (UE) got the better again of Palaro Champion Maureen Emily Schrivjers (DLSU) 12.5s to 12.6s, it was a repeat of the placings at the National Games in May. Rosales will attempt to defend her UAAP title she won earlier this year in November.

Michelle Loterte (UST) the National Junior Hurdle Champion was a distant third in 13.0. FEU’s UAAP Heptathlon Champion Mildred Salut won the third heat in 13.0, and her team mate National 400 Hurdles Champion Josie Malacad won heat 5 in 13.0. National Junior 400m Champion Neslee Angco won heat 2 in 13.2.

Christine Del Rio of Assisi was the fastest high school girl with a PB of 13.0.

This week 16-year old Catherine Bristol ‘conceded’ a loss to Carmen Dalyn in the Womens 3k. Dalyn of FEU who was the UAAP Champion in several distance events last year winning easily in 11:20.8.

The Amendments that need to be made to the Week 6 results are as follows.

The Mens 5k obviously had some sort of time keeping issue, whether it was a lap short
Anthony Lopena (CSB) used ‘Jason Benitez’ BIB in the Mens 100m.
Felyn Dolloso (DLSU) used ‘Gerald Layumas’ BIB in the Womens Long Jump
The Boys high school results are jumbled with the girls high school results in the 100m

If anyone has any other concerns with the results (please post in the comments here so these can be forwarded onto PATAFA

.

Announcement for General Public: Please Note due to the Pasig Oval being used for the Milo Little Olympics on September the 8th. That there will be no Weekly Relays for that week. The Weekly Relays will resume on September 15.

.Corrections and Amendments

Due to several time keeping/encoding issues. Week 6 report of the weekly relay is still not yet finalized. The four errors I had isolated had been fixed. However their are additional errors reported to the general public I was not able to pick up. I have attached a copy of Week 6 weekly relays however it should be noted that the encoder and PATAFA is still fixing these results and they are not yet fully finalized. Therefore I cannot add them to the combined week 1-5 super result list. Week 7 results have been attached here.

The Mystery of the Men’s 5K was that due to a lap judging error it was only 4600m.

In regards to the flimsy paper BIB Numbers. Question has been reassigned to PATAFA.

As the report and results for Week 6 were delayed due to errors. Voting on Week 6 for the Athlete of the week is still ongoing and will be closed on Friday. You can still vote for Week 6 athlete of the week here.

Michelle Loterte (3rd from right in yellow) on her way to winning the 2012 UAAP title.

National Junior Champion, Michelle Loterte (UST) had a convincing win in the Womens 100m Hurdles (15.5).

Mildrid Salut (FEU) was well beaten with (16.2), Salut clocked a personal best of 15.59et to get Silver at the UAAP last year. Leah Casilihan(DLSU) who is being mentored by National Record Holder Sheena Atilano was third fastest (17.3), Casilihan was the Junior Silver Medalist at the PNG in 2011.

.Again a thankyou to Coach Roselyn Hamero (PATAFA) for supplying these results. Apologies for the delays but PATAFA has been very busy with other matters right now.

Might I add first that these results had some errors which have been more thoroughly checked by the PATAFA encoder so that is also much appreciated.

Week 7′s Athlete of the Week again was a joint decision with two junior members of the Hypersports 4×100 Relay sharing the honors with 5 votes each. Maureen Emily Schrivjers the Palaro 100/200m/High Jump Champion and Michelle Loterte the UAAP and National Junior 100m Hurdles Champion.

All Four Members of the Hypersports Womens 4x100m Junior Womens National Champion’s where in action in week 6. From Left to Right. Loterte, Rosales, Schrijvers and Angco.

Report :Salano and Poliquit show good Form for UAAP

Richard Salano (UE) again proved he is the man to beat at the UAAP registering for the fourth time in a row over 5km another personal best of 15:30.4. Salano who have smashed his personal best which was 15:42 at the beginning of the year is looking likely to take the Mens 5K title at the UAAP. As the countries fourth fastest man over 5k this year he is behind three great veterans Herrera, Buenavista and Sermona.

Not to be outdone was Rafael Poliquit (FEU) who took a considerable chunk off his last performance at Weekly Relays in July of 15:47.3 lowering that to 15:31.0. Poliquit who hails from Davao City improved his personal best last year of 15:35.4. It will be an interesting 5k with defending champion Ulboc last performance being 15:37.79 at the PNG where he beat Salano and Poliquit.

Third place went to Roldan Verano (JRU) in 15:45.5 who had been running some very good performances recently in middle distances.

Meanwhile Week 6 joint-top athlete Carmen Dalyn (FEU) gained another win in the Womens 3k.

Sprints

Daniel Noval provided a ‘perfect example’ of sprinting on Saturday Afternoon.

Surprisingly the fastest time of the day went to undercard Heptathlete Mildrid Salut of FEU who won the first heat with a time of 12.7s. The 23 year-old who hails from Montalban, Rizal ran her personal best of 12.68et at the UAAP in the heats failed to place in the finals. Salut also capped off a good day by winning the Womens Long Jump in 5.13m.

Both Week 7 ‘Athletes of the week’ featured in the second heat with Maureen Emily Schrivjers winning in 12.8s over Michelle Loterte 13.0s.

NCAA Champion Daniel Noval (CSB) was the fastest man on the track winning the second heat of 100m in 10.8s. Daniel who hails from Cebu came .02 seconds off the Junior Record (10.82) of his mentor National Record Holder Ralph Waldy Soguilon at the last NCAA. The last chance perhaps for that feat will be at the Thailand Nationals Nov 2-5. Meanwhile his team-mate and fellow Cebuano Week 6s Joint-top athlete Anfernee ‘Pene’ Lopena (CSB) won the first heat in 11.0 equalling the effort he had made the previous week.

JRU won the Mens 4×400 relay in 3:22.0

Field

Highschooler Eric Dela Cruz had a very impressive 37.06m in the Boys Discus. Riza Sombilla (UP) though slightly off her best throw won the womens shotput easy in 10.37m.

Joeann Bermudo (FEU) had a win on countback over Schrivjers (DLSU) with both registering 1.55m, with the absence of National Junior Record Holder (1.66m) Aprilen Laudencia of (FEU). It will be an exciting lineup with the three favourites going head to head at the UAAP in December.

2012 PSC-PATAFA WEEKLY RELAY RESULTS – WEEK 8

…

Week 9 Report Weekly Relays (Have a Vote!)

Again a thankyou to Coach Roselyn Hamero (PATAFA) for supplying these results. And I am surprised and impressed at the speed of the availability.

Daniel Noval provided a ‘perfect example’ of sprinting on Saturday Afternoon.

When the dust settled the people of Philippine Athletics have decided that Week 8s athlete of the week is none other than Daniel Noval. Noval is the NCAA Champion and Record Holder in the 100m 2011 and 2012, and before that the boy from Mandaue, Cebu was the Palaro Champion 2009 and 2010 and is the joint Palaro Record Holder in the 100 and 200m Dash. Noval best time of 10.84 is just .02 shy of the JR Record held by his mentor and National Record Holder Ralph Soguilon. Daniel Noval opened up his weekly relay serie with a time of 10.8 (hand) last weekend.

Report

Performances where much slower than last week with very wet and windy conditions which caused alot of athletes not too turn up. UAAP Champion Michelle Loterete (UST) won the 100 Hurdles (15.9) from last years UAAP Runnerup Mildrid Salut (FEU) 16.2. With Leah Casilihan of DLSU third in 16.4.

1982 Palarong Pambansa (rev 7)

1982 Palarong Pambansa: 30 years on

Article by Pirie Enzo

Thirty Years ago the Palarong Pambansa was held in Zamboanga Del Norte in Dipolog City. This would be the only time Dipolog ever held the Palarong Pambansa, although prior to this and afterwards Zamboanga would hold the games many times.

I have extracted the athletics page results from a complete document of the ’1982 Palarong Pambansa Report’ supplied to me by DECS (Department of Culture and Sports). Unlike other years copies which we will discuss later this copy is in quite good condition. It was done on a typewriter. Back then the Palarong Pambansa served as the default ‘National meet’ in place of the National Open or National Games. Their was no elementary grade just a ‘Junior’ and ‘Senior’ age category like the National Championships.

Looking through the results as a statistician gives wonderful insight into are athletics past as a primary document. It is clear there are alot of athletes over 20 years old competing in the junior categories.

Boys

Salvador Apa (born 1961) the winner of these didn’t progress as far later on which proves you don’t need to be the best at an early age to succeed later on. He did record 10.97 later that year. Esmeraldo Punelas (born 1965) who is 2nd in the Boys 200m (22.8) and (51.6) 400m later went onto run 21.89 in the sea games three years later, while Leopoldo Arnillo (born in 1960) for some reason is competing in the boys grade (23.3) 200m and won 400m (50.9) went onto 48.22s in April of that year (junior record now stripped). Arnillo also won the boys 400 Hurdles in 56.5, three years later in Bangkok Arnillo won the SEA Games title in 52.20. From 1981 to 1985 the Philippines enjoyed a continued streak in the 400m Hurdles Men with Grafilo, Unso, and Arnillo.

Surprisingly my old mentor, who we know as the ‘fat’ gun man from the National Championships Danilo Arpon is recorded here as the National Boys Champion in the 110m Hurdles (16.5). I recall Mr. Arpon telling me he had been a champion Hurdler in his youth.

The versatile Jimmy Dela Torre won the boys 3km, 3000m steeples, 5k. Very interesting as Dela Torre at the age of eighteen the year before had won the SEA Games Marathon. Interesting that someone who beaten the best seniors in the region had stepped back down into the junior division at their own national championships.

For some reason at the age of 21 Fidel Repiso is competing in the boys category, he won the Shotput and Discus (37.22). Repiso nine years later would throw 52.10m in the Mens Discus which is still the Philipine Record.

Girls

The Girls 100m tells an interesting story the legendary Elma Muros (12.7) need we say anymore won. Perla Balatucan (12.9) , the mother of current sprinter Pearnel Lobos was second. Perla went onto represent the Philippines at the SEA Games and although not winning an individual medal, made several finals as a teenager and was part of medal winning relay teams. Gina Socal (13.0) is third, Socal was part due to rumors regarding her gender. The late Leah Nolido (13.1), the mother of fil-heritage sprinter Princess Joy Griffey. Nolido went onto represent the Philippines at the ASEAN school games. The same four names in the same order are featured again for the 200m. Muros also won the long jump here.

Baltucan wins the 400m in 59.9, she later went on to record 56.23 3 years later. Nene Gamo later ‘Pellosis’ wins the 100m Hurdles (16.1) and 400m Hurdles. Gamo-Pellosis would later go on to win the SEA Games Heptathlon in 1987 and 1991.

Mens

Anselmo De Guzman aka. Butchoy gets second in the 100m here. In the 200m Marlon Pagaliluan a member of the 4x400m SEA Games Gold medal team wins the 200m in (22.0) from enato Unso (22.4) and Grafillo (22.8). Pagaliluan and Grafillo also place 1-2 in the 400m. Unso wins the 110m Hurdles (15.4) from Arnel Lobos (15.5) the other parent of Pearnel Lobos. Unso, Grafillo, Lobos are 1-2-3 in the 400m Hurdles.

Dario De Rosas who would later become a national coach wins the Triple Jump. Manuel De Oro the father of Palarong discus thrower Maika ‘Kahn’ De Oro wins the Javelin and Pole Vault.

Womens

As 18-year-old Lydia De Vega steps up into seniors and wins in 11.7 (meet record), another later sea games medalist Elena Ganosa is second in 12.6, Lucila Tolentino and Salve Cambonga are also in this final. De Vega also clocks a 24.0 (meet record) ahead of Ganosa. As well as this wins the 400m in 55.2 (meet record).

1983 Palarong Pambansa

Article by Pirie Enzo

The 1983 Palaro Pambansa was held in Tacloban, Leyte. This was the first time Eastern Visayas would get the honor of holding the prestigious multi-sport event. Some 26 years later Tacloban would again host the Palaro.

I have extracted the athletics page results from a complete document of the ’1983 Palarong Pambansa Report’ supplied to me by DECS (Department of Culture and Sports). This copy was in reasonable condition, with slight fading. It wasn’t faded though to the point without checking my stats and general knowledge of the time to piece together the names. It was done on a typewriter. Back then the Palarong Pambansa served as the default ‘National meet’ in place of the National Open or National Games. Their was no elementary grade just a ‘Junior’ and ‘Senior’ age category like the National Championships.

Looking through the results as a statistician gives wonderful insight into are athletics past as a primary document.

Mens

22-year-old Marlon Pagalilauan won the 100m (11.2), 200m(23.0) and 400m (52.4) the times were not fabulous. But Marlon did improve a lot later (21.6,200m) and became better known as a 400m runner (48.53,400m) who was part of the legendary 4x400m team that went on to set a still standing record of (3.06.58) at the SEA Games in Bangkok in 1985. Anselmo De Guzman (aka. Coach Butchoy) finished 3rd and 4th in the 100 and 200. Arnel Lobos who later became better known as a national 110m hurdler was 4th in the 400m and 400m Hurdles.

Renato Unso won the 110m Hurdles (15.9), he improved this by more than a second later in his career and later that year won the SEA Games 400m Hurdles. Leopoldo Arnillo won the 400m Hurdles (57.5) Arnillo became SEA Games Champion in this event two years later.

Now national coach Mario Castro won the Steeples (9.58.3). Castro did finish behind in the 5k and 10k. But later held the Mens 10k record for nearly two decades and also win the SEA Games title in 1985.

Dario De Rosas (former national coach) won the Mens Triple (14.10), with veteran Felicissimo Nierras nearing the end of his playing years third (Felicissimo was the father of 400 SEA Games Champ Julius Nierras). Dario also won the Pole Vault (3.70) ahead of Manuel De Oro on countback who had the same number of points.

Manuel De Oro (the father of Maika De Oro) won the Javelin (58.00)

Boys

Esmeraldo Punelas this time won the 100m title (11.4), and again denied of a win in the 200m (23.6), with unheralded Jeremias (surname faded) recording the same performance. The Long distance results are too faded to read.

Edward Tejada set a new meet record in the High Jump (1.95) (dob unavailable), however the current Palaro Record is recognized as 1.90m by Paolo Martinez set in 2002 Palaro. Fidel Repiso (born 1959) won the shot-put and discus, Repiso later became the national record holder in Discus.

Womens

16-year-old Elma Muros took the senior 100m title Palarong Pambansa title (13.0) in a rare win over 19-year-old Lydia De Vega (13.4). Elma also took 200m title (26.1). Distance and field events are too faded to read. Corazon Magante tied the high jump record with a leap of 1.60m. Delia Orguillas (1982) and Nanette Lusterio (1974) had recorded the same marks.

Girls

Gina Sucal who was the bronze medalist the previous year won the 100m title (13.4), Perla Balatucan (mother of Pearnel Lobos), Rhodo Sinoro (later 11.73 100 runner) Leah Nolido (mother of PJ Griffey) finished 2nd-4th. It was the same order in the 200m with Sucal winning in 26.3. Sucal also set a meet record in the 400m in 59.8.

Nene Gamo defended her 100 and 400 Hurdle titles, and added the long jump. Rowena Monton won the 3000m.

Victoria Paglinawan established a new record in the High Jump 1.57m.
