17-year-old EJ Obiena (ADMU) returned to his pre-injury form to dominate the mens Pole Vault with a 4.40m leap. This mark shattered the 4.31m mark he leaped at the Filipino Chinese Meet in February and hence is a new Junior National Record.

Strong Field in Womens 200m

Jenny Rose Rosales (UE) showed she was serious about defending her UAAP 200m title, by winning the 200m in 25.2. The National Junior Champion who will be celebrating her 18th Birthday soon is also the Palaro Record Holder in the 400m Dash. Rosales who clocked goes in as the odds-on favorite at the UAAP next week where she timed 25.33 (et). Rosales who is coached by Elma Muros and Jojo Posadas is one of the upcoming sprinters in the Philippines Track and Field today.

Second was Mildrid Salut (FEU) the UAAP Heptathlon Champion, who has shown she is in very good shape to challenge for a medal in both the womens 100 and 200. Salut was pulled through by Rosales in a new personal best of 25.6.

National Junior 400m Champion Neslee Angco (UE), Rosales training partner was third in 26.3, just .1 off her personal best. Followed by Hurdler Rieveneth Penarubia (FEU).
