- Edwin Giron Jr. (Middle) WINNER
- Ed Delina (Throws) RUNNERUP
- Manu Guzman (Sprints) 2ND RUNNERUP
Honorable Mention
Francis Obiena (Jumps), Carlos De Imus (Walks)
Edwin Giron places 7th at the Asian Juniors 800m, the first Filipino in 16 years to Top 8 (2018)
;
Giron Jr. finished 7th in the 800m at the Asian Junior Championships in Gifu.
Giron’s feat makes him the First Filipino athlete to make the top 8 at Asian Juniors in 16 years.
The last was Julie Rose Forbes in 2002 in the 400 Hurdles who finished 5th, and Ralph Waldy Soguilon in 2001 in the 100m who finished 8th.
Giron clocked 1:54.17, with 3rd place in his heat, 5th fastest time, and qualifying 7th to the final on placing.
The Final was a slow tactical race won by Anu Kumar of India in 1:54.11. It was slow as Kumar has a PB of 1:50.60.
Dorzadeh of Iran took silver in 1:54.23 and Fuki Torii of Japan bronze in 1:54.55 (1:51.34 PB).
For Giron back in 7th in the Final in 1:56.79.
He was left to do some serious soul-searching despite a rather credible feat of making the final that had not been done for 16 years.
It seemed all runners had a 3-second discount in this race in the wrong direction. Giron relayed this message to Pinoyathletics.
;
Coach sorry I didn’t made it. My time in heat is only 1:54.17. I’m 7th in final.Our heats done 11:20 already then final in afternoon,only 2 hours and have rest.I feel like my body can’t recover yet after the PNG and national open. Very heavy and my running has no force.Sorry buddy. Maybe if the final was tomorrow i could have won Bronze.
Pinoyathletics would like to commend Edwin Giron for his effort
And the hard work of his coach Fernando Dagasgas of Dasmarinas.
Edwin Giron was endorsed by yours truly to Dagasgas as he was originally a product of Zamboanga City.
Under Dagasgas, Edwin Giron went from 2:02 to 1:52.70 in the 800m and 4:16 to 4:01 in the 1500m.
Along the way, he went from 10th place to Palaro Champion in the 800 in 2017 and 7th place to Palaro Champion in 1500.
More recently, he set a new PB of 1:52.70 at the National Open in Ilagan just a week ago.
Edwin Giron was supposed to run 1 event at the nationals but instead ran 800 x 2 rounds, 1500 and 4×400, which probably over-exhausted him for Asian Juniors.
Giron was the only representative of the Philippines at the Juniors.
He hit the bronze standard in 1500 of the 2016 edition.
But entry in the 800 turned out ok.
Briefly glimpsing through the results, I feel they should have sent more athletes to Asian Juniors from the Philippines as there were some possible top 8 finishes we missed out on.
Coach Dagasgas and I had endorsed Giron for selection for Asian Juniors to the PATAFA.
Which, at the end of the day, as the dust settled, it proved to be a sage and rightful choice.
