2013 Philippine National Games Athletics Report Track Events
Long Jump
Women’s long jump, SEA Games Bronze medallist Katherine Khay Santos who has come off an injury after the third leg of the Asian Grand Prix just managed to leap 5.66m. However, as Kat was the bronze medalist last SEA Games and established a mark of 6.17m at the Grand Prix just outside her leap of 6.25m she should be eligible for more meets leading up to the SEA Games to obtain the qualification.
Kat is chasing her mark rather than trying to beat another SEA athlete into the third-place position. Marestella Torres the SEA Games record holder withdrew from the event before the competition due to injury. Felyn Doloso of Run for Change, the Junior Record Holder in the Triple Jump, was second with a new PB of 5.42m, and Joy Albinio of UST was third in 5.30m.
In the Mens Long Jump Philippine Record Holder Henry Dagmil won in 7.39m, with Mark Harry Diones of Run For Change at 7.12m and Benigno Marayag at 7.12m also.
Palaro Record Holder Julian Reem Fuentes of Run for Change won the Junior Mens with a leap of 7.09m. The runway at the Ultra affected performances.
Triple Jump
In the Mens Triple Jump 20-year-old Mark Harry Diones of JRU, another student of Jojo Posadas claimed his first national title in 15.38m. Multiple sea games medallist Joebert Delicano of the Airforce took the silver in 15.26m. Melbert Diones (Harry’s older brother) of JRU finished third in a PB of 14.83m. Janry Ubas of FEU won the junior men’s triple jump in 14.69m
High Jump
Janry Ubas of FEU leaped 2.06m to win the Junior High Jump. This was a big improvement on his personal best of 2.00m set at the UAAP. And might see Ubas gain a spot in the training pool.
It was a very exciting battle in the High Jump as both the Men’s Manuel Jr. Lasangue (Meralco) (2.10m last PNG SEA Games standard) and Reycris Capispisan (Laguna) leaped 2.06m. With the standard set at 2.09m for SEA Games and only two slots available, it will now come down to the exposure meets leading up to the SEA Games to decide who will represent the Philippines.
