2016 Taipei Track and Field Open Report

Taipei Open Track and Field Analysis

May 22, 2016

A full write-up on Taipei opens later with an in-depth analysis. Only Anfernee Lopena and  Immuel Camino exceeded their personal best performances of the athletes sent.

In the days of Keon and Tony Benson athletes being sent overseas should have been ready for the minimal which is breaking PB. Some athletes even ‘Failed’ to break their season’s best (Starting January 2016).

While an even better target should be to break National Records, some of which are still lagging far behind our South East Asian neighbors, or reach at least at the very least the SEA Games bronze criterion. The SEA Games is one of the lowest standard international meets.

The PSC has given a 41 million budget this year to PATAFA its biggest budget in known history. Hence this leaves very few excuses for poor performance.

The Taipei Open was held on 19 and 20 May 2016. A small contingent was sent to represent the Philippines.

Please note Camino’s time of 9.16.84 is very close to the All-Time Top 10 list with 9.16.3 being the standard While Lopena’s 10.67, ranks him 9th on the Phi All-Time List.

Lopena has been primarily coached by Joseph Sy at CSB, while Camino has been trained by New National Coach Rene Herrera ‘The Calve man’ (5 times SEA Games Champion) in Baguio.
