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.

Vitug closes in on long standing womens 1500m Philippine National Record
A delighted Sarah Jane Vitug celebrates her new best time with her team mates.
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 opened the year with 4m41 and followed with a 4m37 run.
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.
Kayla Richardson is the first Filipina to break 12 seconds officially in 2013!
Fil-Heritage 100m Sprinter Kayla Richardson continued on from her 12.01 season opener with a better time of 11.94et. The Academy of Speed athlete is coached by Jonathan Gilmer. Richardson who turns 15 next month along with her twin sister Kyla (pb 12.00 2012) will be in action in May at the Philippine National Games.
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.
(Official results will be posted when available)

Sarah Jane runnng herself back into shape
After taking 2012 off track due to transferring college 23 year old Sarah Jane Vitug again took her season lead down from 4:41.46 to 4:37.33 at the Ben Brown invite on March nine. Sarah Jane who ran 4:34 in 2011 is the 2nd fasest Filipina ever in this event. She made the bronze standard in 2011 SEA Games 4:38 however the bronze standard is now 4:21. Which means Sarah Jane will need to break the national record 4:23
Julio Alorro finished 8th in the NCAA Div 3 Indoor Championships with a 4.79m leap (another sea games qualifier), just off his season best of 4.82 last week.

Monticalvo, Alorro and Kayla Richardson lead Fil-Heritage charge.
Firstly I will would like to say. I have not been able to update the site as i am using limited internet. Therefore there will be no video updates to the you tube page until at least March 11 when i hopefully secure a good broadband connection in the Philippines. As well as that it has been very difficult to locate results for the NCAA Finals (Feb 28-Mar 1) as we did not have a man on the ground (correspondent) this year and the newspapers coverage was rather minimal.
Three Fil-Heritage athletes led the charge this weekend, two aiming for SEA Games and a junior women sprinter looking at changing the landscape of womens sprints in the Philippines.
.
Monticalvo recaptures Season lead, Alorro 4.82m indoors
Caleb Monticalvo again improved his seasons best to 4.85m at an outdoor meet winning the Kim Duyst Invitational. His best is 5.03m from last June. Monticalvo has leapt 4.73, 4.75 and 4.85 showing progress in three consecutive weeks all three performances above the Mens SEA Games bronze standard (4.70). The friendly parallel rivalry between Caleb and Julio continued with Julio momentarily capturing the season lead for one day on Friday.
.
Julio Alorro on Friday Night improved to 4.82m. Julio Alorro who has a personal best of 4.91m finished in 4th Place at the Eastern Conference Athletics Championships at the Armory in New York. Alorro 4.82m was a personal best indoor performance and he closes in on the National Indoor Record of Emerson Obiena (who is now a national coach) which stands at 4.93m. PATAFA had received Alorro dual citizenship documents as the 23 year old was born in Quezon City.
Monticalvo (5.03m) and Alorro (4.91m) were ranked 2nd and 3rd in South East Asia last year behind Kreetha of Thailand the SEA Games Champion.
.
Fil-Heritage sprinter Kayla Richardson almost dips under 12 seconds
Kayla Richardson who turns 15 next month, took half a second off the Chaffey High Invite meet record (12.51) when she clocked a big personal best of 12.01 for her first 100m run of the season. Kayla had a previous best time of 12.37 last year. While Kyla (who had a best time of 12.00 last year) who ran 12.24 last week opted out this week resting a slight strain.
It could be a very exciting clash with her twin sister Kyla Richardson (12.00) and UAAP Record Holder Jenny Rose Rosales at the PNG (12.22). And also at the SEA Youth Champs (June 4-7) against Singapore’s Shanti Perreira who just improved her best to 12.05.
A lot can be said about this performance, as Kayla was on the verge of breaking 12 seconds a feat that has not been done by a Filipina Sprinter since Princess Joy Griffey ran 11.65 in 2010. And going further a back a Filipina local sprinter has not ran sub 12 seconds since Lerma Buluitan almost 10 years ago.
12.01 placed her #6 on the Filipina Junior all time lists behind Griffey (11.75), Lydia De Vega (11.76), Saraina Hedgepeth (11.93), Leslie Mercado (11.94) and Kyla Richardson (12.00). It also broke the best performance all time by a 15 year old Filipina set by Fil-Australian Maricor Cuenca (12.20) in 2003.
.
Sarah Vitug of Loyola Marymount also opened her season after a 2 year absence from the events with (2:16.99) 800m and (4:41.46) 1500m. Although both well off her personal best times of 2:12 and 4:34 they were still faster than the leading times from 2012 by local athletes.

Monticalvo steals the Season lead in Pole Vault
Monticalvo and Alorro are on a campaign to return the gold medal to the Philippines in the mens Pole Vault.
Caleb Monticalvo became the second Filipino athlete in 2013 to surpass the bronze medal standard in Track and Field (4.70m) . His leap of 4.73m placed him 6th at the Run for the Dream indoor meet at Fresno. A good opener last year Monticalvo opened with 4.55m before getting 5.03m which surpassed the standing Filipino Record (but was counted as he did not have a phi passport at the time). Monticalvo was ranked #2 on the SEA Games ranking lists last year. The standing record in Pole Vault outdoors is Edward Lasquette (5.00m) and indoors Emerson Obiena (4.93m).
Meanwhile across the eastern side of the States. Pole Vaulter Julio Alorro of the College of New Jersey had an eas at the New York University Challenge with 4.55m on Friday, not as impressive as the 4.72m he leapt last week to surpass the sea games bronze medal standard.
Vitug makes all time list in the 3km Womens
A large contingent of Fil-Heritage athletes were in action this week. At the Pomona Pitzer in Claremont, California Sarah Vitug ran a personal best of 10.20.10 representing her new school Loyola Marymount in fifth place. The 23 year old who is ranked #8 and #3 on the Filipina all time lists actually made the qualifying standard for the last sea games in 2011 over 1500m surpassing the bronze medal criteria by 4 seconds. Vitug’s time of 10.20.10 put her in the all time list at #10 for the 3km as well. This race serves as a test for Vitug who is going after the difficult task of qualifying in the 800 and 1500 for SEA Games and will be in action at the PNG.

16 year old Julie Wollrath opened her season with a run of 5:15.40 in the 1600m at the Eagle Open Invitational in Florida on Friday (around a 4:57 1500). Wollrath best time in the 5k of 17:20 is well under the standing junior Filipina record (18:18).
