Fil-Canadian Jonelle Halog – Junior Male Sprinter
July 21, 2014
Article by Pirie Enzo.
At 17 years of age, Fil-Canadian Jonelle Halog is ranked third (10.91) on the mens 100m ranking list this year. He is behind NCAA Champion Daniel Noval (10.84) and National Champion Henry Dagmil (10.88). Quite surprisingly he was born in Riverside, Calinan, Davao City in 1995. With Noval entering the senior ranks next year it now makes Halog a firm candidate for the junior record and junior sprint titles next year. With Noval having his last attempt at the Junior Record (10.82) in Thailand, it is not out of the question that Halog has a chance of surpassing the new mark. At the PNG he will face competition from 2011 & 2012 National Junior Champion Romnick Nor of Cotobato who is a year younger than Halog.
While Nor is eligible for the World Youth Championships next year in Ukraine being very close to the standard. Unfortunately, Halog is too old for this meet so instead will focus on being around for the World Juniors in Oregon, US in 2014 and one day make the Olympic Team for the Philippines. The World Juniors is a very realistic goal for Halog who has shown rapid improvements over the past few years.
While Halog also runs the 200m he is better at the 100m his 200m PB is 22.30, but this year he is a lot higher up on the 100m ranking list.
.
How it All Started
Halog tells a story of how he discovered Track and Field which is very similar to the experience shared by Daniel Noval it was something discovered by chance. More track discovering the athlete than the athlete discovering track.
I wasn’t really into track till I came to Canada. after I was in grade 8 that I went to this track and field camp. Ever since it’s been my life and help me with stress.
Halog now has two coaches Rayyaan Jameel and Lyndon George.
Very much a Filipino Halog’s favorite dish is Adobo and sinigang with rice. His academic goals are to g to a University on Criminology or to study a course based on society.
At 5’5 Halog is a small sprinter but he hopes he has some more growing to do. He is hoping to be able to take part in the National Games next May and currently holds a national passport.
