Mia Guillergan Erases Arsenia Sagaray 33-year-old Age Grade record.

Mia Guillergan finished with a time of 10:15.18 in the 3000m on a cool summer evening on 21 November 2020.

Just outside her PB and 12 seconds away from the Philippine Junior Record of Meagey Ninura. Ninura holds the Phillippines Junior (19 and below) and Palaro (national high school) record with a time of 10:03 from 2016 in Legazpi City, Albay.

Her Performance erases the 33-year-old record for 11-year-old Filipino athletes in 3000m set by Arsenia Sagaray of 10:38.2.

The Performance ranks Mia 7th in the Phi Junior All Time list.

Mia, who is only 11 years old, finished 16th of 24 competitors in the women’s B Race of the NSW 3000m Championships at Sydney Olympic Park.

She and another talented 11 years old from her training group Philippa Quarrell who clocked 10m16.21.

Mia holds the world age grade 5000m record for 11-year-old girls with a time of 17:41.03. The world record for her age in 3000m is 9:48. Mia doesn’t turn 12 until September 26, 2021, so she has a lot of time to break that record.

Mia is looking at securing a Philippines passport.

But no hurry for that as for international meets, the minimum age is usually 15 or 16.

Mia Guillergen Junior Filipino Athlete of the Year 2020

Mia Guillergen was named the youngest ever Pinoyathletics Junior athlete of the year in the 8-year history of Pinoyathletics.info.

Guillergen, who lives in Australia, is with the Sydney Sports Academy and coached by Jack McPhee.

Announced two weeks ago on the 13.10.2020 via Pinoyathletics Tuesday’s Track Talk (Slideshare of the show provided below).

For her efforts in breaking the World Age Grade Record for 11 years old, she was granted the prestigious award.

Guillergen continued her fine form on Saturday 10th of October with a win in the Under 12 Girls in the NSW Cross Country Championships at Dapto, timing 11 minutes 11 seconds, which saw her qualify for the Australian National Age Grade Championships.

The Men’s Category went to Ernest Obiena (based in Italy), and the Women’s Category went to Kristina Knott (based in Florida, United States).

Both South East Asian Record Holders and both SEA Games Champions.

Due to COVID, no Filipino Junior Records were broken this year.

And the awards went to overseas-based athletes.

No Junior Male athlete had a performance exceptional enough in 2020, so for the first time in 8 years.

The Junior Male award was not awarded in 2020.

Her 5k of 17:41 is actually under the Philippine Junior Record of 18:14.78 set by Bernadita Magaso; it’s unsure whether Mia holds dual passports and was born in Australia or the Philippines.
