2014 ASEAN School Games Athletics Day 4, Sumary and Results

2014 ASEAN School Games Athletics Day 4

ASEAN School Games Day 4: Giant Martin leaps Big PB in Triple Jump for Silver

Big Martin Esteban from San Fernando had a significant improvement to his personal best today. The 6’1 Esteban Palaro Champion improved on his palaro win of 14.31m with a new best of 15.09m. Esteban finished silver behind a Malaysian Nik Ab Hadi who leaped 15.12m.

The popular athlete has now had offers from six different schools, but for now, will play one more Palaro.

Martin’s leap is well beyond the standing palaro record of 14.44m which is held by Mark Harry Diones In a very difficult event with the SEA Games bronze at 16.26m. Martin is leading a charge of new athletes who have emerged from these championships.

Martin fouled a 15.40m leap, watched on and encouraged by none other than the jumps umpire retired national athlete Joebert Delicano National and National Junior Record Holder (15.55m).

 

2014 ASEAN School Games Athletics Day 4: Baloloy from the Hospital to the Podium

Another Silver medal came straight from the hospital. Uni Games Champion from RTU Josefina Baloloy who had been discharged from the hospital for dehydration the other day

delivered the second silver medal for the team. The soft-spoken 17-year-old clocked 1:05 for silver behind the Thai despite showing signs of fatigue on the second curve Baloloy fought off the challenge of the two approaching runners. Albeit below her personal best of 1:03.5 she was able to hold on for a win.

Next up for Baloloy will be the National Open in March where she will be up against FEU duo Jayed Penarubia and Marilyn Avila in the junior 400 Hurdles.

 

Other Athletes

Carlo Caong heaved the 1.5kg Discus for the bronze with a throw of 47kg. While National Junior Record Holder Emily Obiena took the bronze in 3.10m in the pole vault.

Francis Medina clocked a new personal best of 54.09 for the bronze medal the hard-working NCAA Champion was outside the longstanding junior record of Jaime Grafillo 52.19 set in 1981.

The Girls 4×400 of Karen Janario, Anjelica De Josef, Feiza Lenton, and Louielyn Pamatian got bronze in 3:59 after Vietnam was disqualified for stepping outside the track. A very tired Karen Janario led off but was quickly passed by three runners. Handing to Anjelica who held onto the third place until the Vietnamese girl began pulling away in the second half of the race.

Passing to Feiza Lenton who was now five meters behind. Lenton ran a brilliant fourth leg and took a five-stride deficit to a three-stride lead over the 4th place by the time the baton was handed to Pamatian. Pamatian ran well around the curve but was caught quickly by the Vietnamese girl. However, the Vietnamese girl ran out of the lane around the 250m mark.

 The boy’s 4×400 was a very make-shift team of Medina, Kenneth Nodos, Alexis Soqueno, and Jomar Udtohan finished 4th.

ASEAN Schools 2014 (revised 2)

The ASEAN School Games has a long tradition that goes back to the early 1970s, it was at this meet that athletes were the international debuts of athletes such as Elma Muros, Lydia De Vega, Isidro Del Prado, Renato Unso who went on to bring pride to the country in the years that came.

 

More than just Athletics

Although my focus is mainly on athletics. We need to note that several other sports contributed to the Philippines’ fourth-place finish at the ASEAN School Games. Since its 2010 revival, this is the highest place for the Philippines. While we should be proud of this performance on the other hand a lot needs to be done as we are only slightly in front of countries with much smaller populations such as Singapore. And as we are the host we were well beaten by countries such as Thailand which have a similar sized population.

Golf and Basketball came to the rescue later to push the Philippines from second to last to fourth place with Singapore not able to gain any more gold medals.

The Philippines had won 11 Gold Medals.

• Wushu (3)
• Athletics (2)
• Golf Girls (2)
• Gymnastics (2)
• Basketball Boys (1)
• Table Tennis Girls (1)

6th ASEAN School Games Schedule

Marikina(latest schedule, maybe adjustments after managers meeting over the weekend, please stay posted) Day 1 events move to the afternoon.

---

Marikina Upgraded

Initially, Marikina was a six-lane track as previously stated here.  So as it was unlikely to be suitable the venue was moved to Phil Sports. However, in the week leading up to the start of the ASEAN School Games last minute renovations were made to the Marikina. Two additional lanes were added on the outside, and the protective fence was moved back to free up the eighth lane. Day and night the workforce of Marikina City worked hard to get the track ready.

Everything was in place for a successful meet however the following suggestions would have improved the meet further and helped Marikina hold more successful meets in the future.

 

1. Completion of both the D Sections. The makeshift runway in Javelin was kind of slippery.
2. Performance indicator Boards for field events a lot of times the audience was scratching their heads.
3. Marikina has a lot of beautiful grandstands but a lot of times the public didnt know how to get in. It would have been better if all the stadium gates had been open to the public as there was no fee being charged to enter the meet.

ASEAN School Games Journal: Visit to Marikina

The ASEAN School Games were held at Marikina from December 1 to December 4. The fifth day

of competition was removed due to a manageable smaller number of entries than expected.

26th November 2014,

I paid a visit to the Philippine Athletics team for the ASEAN School Games in Marikina. The Good work of Arca shows the importance of the backbone of Grass root Coaching in the Philippines.

DEPED did a good job

The DEPED did a good job looking after me, the coaches, and the athletes. Mr. Agustin from CAR the Team Manager assigned by the DEPED went the extra mile to help the team. The DepEd provided very nice accommodation at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Ortigas with a variety of 3 buffet food meals per day a lot of it quite healthy. They also gave uniforms and incentives to athletes and covered flight costs. They also provided a shuttle service (bus) for the athletes and coaches heading to Marikina.

 

We had the best athletes made available to us.

The best athletes are not necessarily the Palaro Champions. Collegiate athletes who have more experience competing against older athletes. The Fil-Heritage athletes are not able to join this meeting due to the competition rules. However, we can maximize local participation and use this as a unique development meeting for the next generation of athletes.

ELIGIBILITY

• Athletes born in 1996 or after
• Attending High school or college in the Philippines
• Hold Filipino citizenship
• Athletes selected will represent the Philippines against other SEA Nations

How Many Medals can we win?

Although we don’t have strong medal chances in all events there is no reason not to enter the maximum of 2 in each event as the costs are minimal compared to sending athletes abroad to compete.

The predicted medal count is 6-7-10 Gold/Silver/Bronze.

For comparison please refer to the results of the 2013 ASEAN School Games

Please note two athletes per event.

How Many Medals did we win?

At the end of the day the Philippines delivered 2 Golds, 7 Silvers, and 10 Bronzes. We kept to our original Bronze count and instead of winning 7 silvers, we won 9.

I can easily ascertain our 2 golds were expected in the Javelin and Shot-put Boys. However, we lost gold for mainly 2 reasons.

We had expected Kevin Capangpangan or Philip Gongob of UST and FEU respectively to win the 5000m as they had run 15.45 and 15.41 during weekly relays. However, both were unavailable for the 5000m due to the proximity of the meet to UAAP. It was agonizing to see this event only won in 16.24.

Secondly had Josefa Ligmayo from FEU with a PB of 1.63m in High Jump been entered it might have been a different story as the winner from Singapore leaped 1.58m.

The other 2 gold medals were expected from Jie Ann Calis, in the 1500 and 3000. But Jieann who lacked international experience was not able to run as well as she did at the Palaro. Jie ann winning times at Palaro of 4.44 and 10.26 would have won the events as the winners from the other countries just ran 4.45 and 10.36.8.
