ASEAN School Games 2019 Reliable Full Results
ASEAN School Games 2019: Samantha Limos resigns from Team
July 8, 2019
;
In an act of extreme sportsmanship, Samantha Limos has withdrawn from the ASEAN School Games 2019.
Unsure as to why she was selected, Limos has vacated her slot in the 2019 ASG Team that will take place in Indonesia July 17-25 in Semarang Indonesia.
Limos were scheduled to run the 100 and 200, originally by coach Ilde Banzon from the University of Cebu.
A coach who worked with several Palaro sprint Champions Balani, Navaja, Noval, Lera Dela Cazada, and Jonas Etoile.
Limos captured the Palaro record in 2016 with an 11.99 run in Legazpi city at age 14 and won the gold in 200 in 25.51.
Before this, she had reset the Batang Pinoy Record in her hometown Cebu with run of 12.37. While still with Cebu, Limos also captured her only International medal so far at the Children of Asia Meet in Russia with a time of 12.48 a few months after her Palaro win.
In 2017 she was recruited by Elma and Jojo Posadas at Brent School, Laguna. And has not been able to surpass her Palaro 2016 times.
Limos went to 2017, 2018, and 2019 sea youth and finished 5th (12.81), 4th (12.52), and 6th (12.73).
She won the national open in Ilagan in the juniors but could only manage 12.57; her 200 also has declined to 26.27.
Limos did not participate in the 2018 and 2019 Palaro events. But her best 100m performances for those years would have landed her 4th place in the 100 and 7th in the 200.
Limos Progression
- 2015 – 12.48s (Batang Pinoy) / 25.86s Batang Pinoy
- 2016 – 11.99s Palarong Pambansa / 25.51s Palarong Pambansa
- 2017 – 12.73s Weekly Relays / 26.26s SEA Youth
- 2018 12.36s Shanghai Sports / 25.71s STCAA Meet
- 2019 – 12.57s National Open / 26.27s SEA Youth
Meanwhile, Melbert Diones was initially chosen as the ASG team despite his NCR team being ranked 4th in Secondary Boys at the palaro.
Was replaced as Men’s Head Coach by Elisio Navarro, the winning coach of the 2019 Palaro of Western Visayas. The DepEd taking action upon reading the previous writeup of Pinoyathletics.info.
ASEAN School Games 2019 Team Athletics – Full List – Athletics a Big Question Mark?
Please note it seems the DEPED submitted this list for the ASEAN School Games 2019 (June 17), so it appears to be the official list. For All Sports.
While Pinoyathletics will not comment on other sports.
Regarding athletics, it’s odd that a coach who was not a winning coach in Palaro be included as Head Coach for Boys. NCR finished 4th.
Secondly, an athlete who hasn’t played in the Palaro for 2 years.
Was included in the girls. At the same time, and did not include several gold medalists on the trip.
While we haven’t done the data yet on the other countries (that is to come).
It’s unlikely this team will exceed the 6 gold medals won in 2018 or that half of these athletes will win awards.
Several athletes who were more qualified were left out of this team.
This leads Pinoyathletics to question not just
How was this team put together?
But also WHO advised the DEPED on how to put this team together.
Regardless we will have to ‘Wait and See’ as the games are scheduled for July 20-24. Which is less than a month before we will answer questions. A
We know if the DEPED made the right team selection with a group they seem to have put together randomly.
