Cesafi 2016-2019 Comprehensive Results

CESAFI 2019 Cebu Athletics

John Lloyd Osorio Moves to Cebu times 49.8 for 400

 

In a twist of fate, former UE Trackster John Lloyd Osorio has surprisingly relocated to Cebu City, leaving behind the big smoke of the Capital City.

Osorio was mentored well by Coach Christopher and Coach Fronda at the University of the East.

He has moved to the University of Santo Carlos to spend more time with his dad.

He was previously in Manila as his mother works there.

 

“We have a scholarship for tuitition and  free use of track. Food here is alot cheaper than in Manila 100 Pesos can last a day and a half. It cant even last a day in Manila.”

 

At the recent CESAFI Meet in Cebu City, Osorio broke his PB in the 400m with a time of 49.8 (hand-timed); he will run the 800m on Sunday.

 

At USC, Osorio will be coached by Arvin Loberanis.

;

“Its very different in Cebu, said Osorio we don’t have any many competitions there is only 5 meets a year, and there are left athletes overall competing”

;

 

Osorio’s resurgence in the 400m comes after he was a high school stand-out, clocking 50.3 at the NCR meet and 1:56.71 at the  2016 Palaro in Legazpi, Bicol, where he took the bronze medal behind Mariano Masano.

In an exclusive interview with John Lloyd Osorio. I pointed out with his time of just under 50 seconds; he can run even 1:51. Wenlie Maulas, a good friend of mine, timed 1:51.6 of a similar 400m time.

So Osorio has a lot of wiggle room. I look forward to the challenge of working with him and his new coach.

Possibly in his 800 this weekend, the advice goes out the first lap in 54-54.5 and closes in 1 minute as there might not be many competitors.

 

Above all, John Lloyd is a smart young man who understands the importance and has a deep respect for  Grass Roots coaches.

 

“I understand its not easy being a grass root coach.  I learnt a value life lesson from my new coach.

Coach Arvin took us to help coach some kids 6-12 years of age.

It was a big eye opening experience which gave me a deeper appreciation.

One of the biggest challenges is keeping at it knowing there are coaches who might try and grab your athletes”

 

Overall, John Lloyd seems very dedicated to supporting Cebu Athletics. And is keen to grow and develop the skills he learned from his coaches at UE wherever he may be.

And is one of a growing number of athletes who are finding success training outside of the capital in regions.

If we look at Cebu, we won’t find anyone spare heading the movement more than Mary Joy Tabal, who chose to stick with her own coaches training in Cebu and Overseas.

Rafols Winner better than the Lottery

 

CEBU,

SEA School Games Champion Marvin John Rafols (Univ of Cebu) broke the Cesafi Record with a leap of 14.28m, erasing his 2016 mark of 14.10m.

Beginning off his season after coming from injury, Rafols leaped a 15.02m PB to win the ASEAN School Games last June in Singapore.

Still, it was a performance to remember for Rafols, who told Cebu Daily News he wanted to leave the high school division on a high note.

Rafols also topped the Long Jump and helped his teammates win the 4×100, 4×400

 

“I will miss competing here but I have to prepare myself in the more competitive college level next school year,” said Rafols, who said he has chosen to remain with the University of Cebu next year.

“I think my experience in competing abroad helped me to gain more confidence in this competition. It helped me perform better,” said Rafols.

 

Cebu produces another Mary Joy.

 

Cebu Produced yet another Mary Joy. Following perhaps in the same make as SEA Games Champion Mary Joy Tabal.

Due to a low turnout in some events, college athletes were allowed to join but scored separately.

Meanwhile, 15-year-old Mary Joy Loberanis beat her college opponents, who were 20 and 21 years old. 

Loberanis won in a time of 11 min 35.26. Her best time was her gold-winning 10 min 57.09 set 2 years ago at the Batang Pinoy.

This effort was still enough to beat college runners Melody Perez of (USC) 11:39.6 and Lovey Andrin of (USPF) 11:57.1, while Geneda Arcuino (USC) was third in College 12:12.1.

In the High school division Antonette Velayo (UC) 12:03.0, and Nyka Archival (USC) 14:38.8.

Loberanis won the High School Girls 800, 1500, 3000, 4×100, 4×400.

Limos began her season again with coach Ilde Banzon after having had her first international meet and medal at the Children of Asia, where she took bronze in the 100m Dash.

Limos, now 14, is preparing for the Batang Pinoy in Tagum at the end of November, where she currently shares the meet record at 12.47 set last year in Bacolod and won the 200-meter dash.

The meet record for the 200m is 25.82 by Karen Janario.
