Trenten Beram Inducted into the Legends of Philippines Track and Field
24th of February 2020.
Pinoyathletics has inducted Trenten Beram into the Legends of Track Philippines Track and Field.
Trenten Beram represented the Philippines for almost 3 years, from 2016 to 2018.
In a short time, he was with Philippine Athletics; he set National records in the 200m, Indoor 200m, Indoor 400m.
And above all was the first Filipino to break the 21-second barrier in the 200m and the first Filipino male to win a medal of any color in the 200m at SEA Games, in this case, the gold.
Trenten Beram had contacted me via the PATAFA in 2014, and after providing a small amount of assistance via his dad and coach Amadeo Lambert.
I then had to delegate the ongoing process of his Filipino passport back to the PATAFA as I had decided to leave the PSC to pursue a coaching development role in another part of the country.
I no longer would have the resources to help him. In tribute to Trenten Beram, I have included several ‘golden’ articles over the last few years.
Trenten Beram’s departure from the sport left a gaping hole in the Men’s program, with no one able to fill his shoes in the 200m until now. He is sorely missed by the many friends he made in the sport.
Something not in the write-up that I want to note is that Trenten Beram didn’t take up Athletics till the age of 16-17.
And his coach Amadeo Lambert actually identified him from Baseball. This is an excellent example of an athlete who did not specialize at an early age.
Trenten Beram coach Amadeo Lambert originally had contacted me to apply for Trenten to compete at the 2014 World Juniors.
However, we didn’t have the time needed to secure him a Filipino passport.
Of note, Trenten Beram ran 21.50 as an 18-year-old, and the standard was 21.64. Trenten Beram acquired his Filipino passport towards the end of 2015 beginning of 2016.

Athletics body to sack Fil-Am runner.
THE Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association will sack Fil-American runner Trenten Beram, a double gold medalist in the 2017 Malaysia Southeast Asian Games, to compete in the recent Ayala Philippine Athletics Championships Ilagan, Isabela.
“We tried to communicate with Trenten Beram several times before the National Open, but he failed to reply,” a PATAFA insider, who requested anonymity, told Malaya-Business Insight. “We are not interested in an athlete with this kind of attitude.”
Athletics president Philip Ella Juico had said that he would not condone prima donnas on the national team even if they were as skilled and talented as Trenten Beram, who topped the men’s 200 and 400-meter races in Malaysia two years ago.
In his SEA Games debut, the Scarsdale, New York native set a new national standard in winning the men’s 200-meter run in 20.84 seconds while ruling the 400-meter race the next day 46.39 seconds.
On top of his golden double, the former University of Connecticut varsity ace also won a bronze medal by anchoring the PH men’s 4×100-meter relay squad to a new national mark of 39.11 seconds.
Beram received a windfall of P660,000 from the Philippine Sports Commission for his accomplishments in the Malaysia Games.

PATAFA cleared Trenten Beram to join Asian Champs, Cray investigated

Trenten Beram – Asian Games 2018 200M Chances
The Philippines ‘ very own Trenten Beram will have a tough task; his PB is 20.84. The SEA Games 200m Champion and Philippine Record Holder in this event.
Trenten Beram finished 5th at the Asian Championships last year in India.
He is ranked 15th in the 2018 Asian Rankings for 2018, but with Muthumuni out 14th, and based on PBS, he is ranked 12th.
Which still leaves 3 he needs to get through to make the top 8.
Last Asian Games didn’t take sub 21 times to make the finals, as Trenten Beram is good at backing up and conserving through rounds of competition in his favor.

Beram, Cray Asian Games stint in jeopardy
by Jerome Lagunzad
‘
If they want to maintain their precious slots for this year’s Asian Games in Indonesia, prized Fil-Am runners Eric Shauwn Cray and Trenten Beram need to convince the Philippine Amateur Track and Field Association on why they failed to see action in the Korean Open last week, which is a clear violation of team rules.
PATAFA disclosed to Tempo-Bulletin yesterday that the local governing body has given Cray, 29, a maximum of 10 days that started last Wednesday to make a concrete response as to why he didn’t take part in the said event, which was part of the national team’s buildup for the August 18-Sept. 2 Asian meet.
Along with homegrown Anfernee Lopena and fellow Fil-Am trackster Clinton Bautista, Cray and Beram were supposed to vie in the men’s 4×100-meter relay to boost the team’s International Amateur Athletics Federation rankings in time for the Asian Games.
‘
Cray has to submit his response.
“He has to submit his response and then we will have to assess that,” said Juico of Cray, a four-time Southeast Asian Games gold medalist and once considered as the fastest man in the region for ruling the century dash in record-breaking style in 2015.
‘
As Beram, who topped the 200m and 400m events in the Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia SEAG last year, Juico admitted that “we already talked to his father (Glen). So we just cross-checked what they’re doing and also the reason for his non-participation in the Korean Open.
‘
“Trenten Beram has his own coach, nutritionist and strength and conditioning coach, all of which they pay for. But we just want to know if they’re in sync with our schedule since we also have our own nutritionist, sports psychologist and strength and conditioning coach,” he added.
‘
The sorry development, according to Juico, could leave his earlier plans in the disarray of fielding entries in the 4x100m and 4x400m events in the world’s continental sporting spectacle, which Jakarta and Palembang will co-host.
‘
“But how could I justify their inclusion to the country’s Asian Games screening committee and the POC (Philippine Olympic Committee) if they were not able to participate?” lamented Juico.
‘
For now, Juico is not taking some drastic measures over the erring Fil-Am runners.
“Technically, they are still part of the national team and all of them who we included in the final Asian Games roster. We just have to wait and see if their reason, especially of Cray, is valid enough,” he said.

Eric Cray and Trenten Beram were supposed to suit up in the men’s 4×100-meter relay with Anfernee Lopena and Clinton Bautista to improve their International Association of Athletics Federations’ ranking boost their campaign for the coming Asiad.
But the duo never did.
‘
They just submitted a two-paragraph letter to the Patafa office
Expressing regret about their failure to complete due to miscommunication, an act which Juico deemed unfair and unacceptable.
‘
“The Korean Open is a very crucial tournament because we need to gain points for their IAAF ranking, which I would use in justifying their participation in the 4×100 event of the Asian Games,” Juico said. “They didn’t even notify me. All they did was sent our secretary a two-paragraph explanation, saying that it was a simple case of miscommunication. I think it was very unacceptable and unfair.”
‘
The athletics chief said he already informed the Philippine Sports Commission and the Philippine Olympic Committee about the possibility of dropping the two from their Asian Games’ roster, considering the Indonesia Asian Games Organizing Committee’s deadline for the submission of names is still on June 30.
‘
“We will have a teleconference tonight with their parents,” said the former PSC chairman, minister of Agrarian Reform and dean of De La Salle University Graduate School. “I want to know if they are still willing to play for the country because it seems that they’re no longer interested based on their recent action. But whatever happens, they will receive an email from me to inform them of what disciplinary action we would make.”

Hence the 22-year-old Beram time improves on his 2017 SEA Games gold medal time of 46.39; Trenten Beram had registered the season lead before with a Philippine Indoor record of 46.77 on March 3 at Boston. However, at the Thai Open, he had been overtaken by Dinh Son Tran of Vietnam, who ran a PB of 46.70 to win the Thailand Open.

2017 Pinoyathletics.info Athletes of the Year in Athletics
December 23, 2017
l
It is that time again—the announcement of the Pinoyathletics.info Athlete of the Year in Athletics for 2017. In addition, Pinoyathletics has announced its Athlete of the year award for Philippine Athletics.
Male Athlete of the Year – Trenten Beram
For 4 years 2013,2014,2015,2016, Eric Cray was the male athlete of the year. However, it was a tough call as Cray still had a brilliant season with an Asian Title in the 400 Hurdles, which itself is a major feat in itself.
It was the progression of a fellow Fil-Heritage athlete and newcomer Trenten Beram onto the forefront of Asian Athletics, a welcome development the past year.
Beram emerged in 2016, breaking the Philippine record in the 200m several times, lowering it from 21.17 to 20.84.
He became the first man to break the 21-second barrier.
First doing so at the Asian Championships, making it all the way to the finals and placing 5th in 20.96.
At the SEA Games, Beram took 2 Golds 20.84 in the 200m, taking the Gold at the SEA Games in Malaysia.
The Philippines had never even won a medal in the SEA Games in its 40-year history. Beram
also joined a long tradition of Philippine Champions in 400m at SEA Games in taking the
400m also in 46.39, the second-fastest time ever in the Philippine All-Time Lists. Behind only the National Record Holder of Former Asian Champion Isidro Del Prado

2017 SEA Games Trenten Beram takes second Gold in 400m (Video)
Aug 28, 2017
‘
US-based Trenten Beram beat the much-favored Quach Cong Lich (5th in Asian Champs) to win the SEA Games 400m by the narrowest of Margins.
Running in Lane 7 (explained at the end of the article). Beram added the 400 to the 200 titles he had won earlier in the SEA Games. The 5th Gold Medal for the Philippines.
The 21-year-old was out fast, but the field started closing in around the 300m marks. It was Luong Van Thao of Vietnam who struck first, challenging Beram around the 250m marks.
Then the Big legs of Quach tried to reel in Trenten Beram in the last 80m. 18-Year-old Pitchaiya Sunthortuan of Thailand, who had just run 46.87 to break the SEA School Games Record by a second a few months back, also was closing in strong.
In the end, Beram held off the challenge and just hung onto a win in 46.39 from Sunthortuan, who improved his best time again to 46.46 (which may have been a Thai Junior Record?),
Quach, who stills had the fastest time of the year (46.35), could only cling onto bronze in 46.48.
The Other Filipino in the race, the ever-smiling Edgardo Alejan, the 2015 SEA Bronze medallist, and the 2017 SEA Silver medallist, finished outside the 7th in 47.68. Perhaps at 30, looming towards the end of his 8-year career in the national team.
‘
Second-fastest ever times by a Filipino Athlete.
Beram time of 46.39 was the second-fastest ever time by a Filipino Athlete; only Isidro Del Prado 45.57 National Recordset in the 1984 ASEAN Cup in Manila is faster. Beram also improved on his 46.56 PB set at the American Outdoor Champs in Houston on 13 May.
‘
Unlike the 200m, The Philippines has a proud tradition of Quarter Mile Champions. Del Prado, Romeo Gido, Ernie Candelario, Jimar Aing, Julius Nierras and Archand Bagsit also have been champions in this event.
‘
Beram may have a greater potential in this event than the 400m, as he could probably be a low 45 or high 44 runners one day in this event with more emphasis on this event which would be world-class. Beram is currently at the University of Connecticut.

Below is an Article by Manolo Pedralvez
KUALA LUMPUR – Despite cramps and drawing an outer lane, Treten Beram hurdled both obstacles for the country’s first athletic golden double in the 29th Malaysian Southeast Asian Games with a heroic win men’s 400-meter run at the National Stadium here Thursday night.
The top-notcher in the qualifiers earlier in the day, the cramp-stricken Beram, was inexplicably drawn in the more difficult lane No. 7. At the same time, hometown rival Muhammad Azam Masri, fourth in the prelims, was placed in the favorable inside lane No. 5.
But the apparent ploy by the Malaysian hosts to give their athlete an added edge backfired as the gallant Fil-Am runner accelerated in the last 10 meters in winning the gold in 46.39 seconds to follow up to his triumph in the men’s 200-meter race on Wednesday.
In what seemed like poetic justice, Thailand’s P Sunthontuam took silver (46.46), Vietnam’s Quach Cong Lich, the 2015 Singapore SEAG silver medallist in the event, bronze (46.48), while Masri wound up fourth (47.24)
It marked the first time in recent memory that a Filipino runner was able to sweep both the men’s 200 and 400-meter runs in Southeast Asia’s premier sports showcase. However, Janry Ubas could only muster a leap of 7.75 meters in the men’s long, good for bronze in the only other night results.
‘
Cramps
“I felt the cramps just an hour before the race,” the University of Connecticut student bared while breathing heavily from the . “We did a lot of massage and hydration because I really felt heavy entering the race.
“I knew I had to give my 100,000 percent to win. I just thank God that he gave me the strength to do it.”
‘
National team manager Edward Kho was fuming on the sidelines, questioning track technical officials why Bertram had been relegated to the outer and more challenging lane.
‘
“They seemed to have played around with the international track rules that the top four qualifiers can be assigned to lanes No. 4, 5, 6 and 7,” Kho said. “Our athlete was the top qualifier so why should he placed in the outer lane.”
Though taxed to the hilt by challenging conditions he faced, Bertram merely shrugged them off, saying: It’s still 400 meters all around. I just couldn’t see my competitors. But it still sprint so you have to run as fast you can.”
After two straight gruelling days of racing, he had only one thing on his mind: “Time to get me much-needed sleep.”
‘
My Response to the Lane Ruling
- Please note I have been informed that the lanes assignments have now been corrected as follows.
- If its an 8 lane track, it’s 3,4,5,6 for the four fastest qualifiers based on random lane draw
- This is a lane 9 lane track 1 isn’t used. So it should be 4,5,6,7 as the middle lanes.
- Beram is lane 7, which is like lane 6 on an 8 lane track.
- In IAAF Rule 166, it states lanes 3,4,5,6 correctly, however.
- Thus this forces out 4,5,6,7 to become the middle lanes. I believe the rule was followed right. I am thrilled to see Trenten doing well at these championships.

Trenten Beram wins the Philippines first-ever medal in SEA Games 200m (video)
Aug 24, 2017
Trenten Beram is not only the First Filipino to win the 200m Dash at the SEA Games.
But he is the first-ever medallist in this event in the 40-year history of the Philippines at the SEA Games. Beram sped to a very comfortable 3 stride victory in a time of 20.83, shattering his 20.96 National Record.
The 20.96 was when he placed 5th at the Asian Championships in Bhubaneswar, India, in June.
Trenten Beram representing the Philippines, beat out the 2013 SEA Games Champion Jirapong Meenapra at 21.22, and the surprise on the night was Arevin Gunasegaran of Malaysia in 21.26. 100m Champion Khairul Hafiz Jantan of Malaysia was locked out of the medal with 21.28 and was found to be injured afterward
Trenten Beram was the only athlete to break 21 seconds, leading the heats in 20.99. So his best and third-best time ever at these championships.
Trenten Beram is currently at the University of Connecticut, participating in the NCAA Divison 1. He hails from New York, and his mother is from Cebu.
Beram should be able to break into the Mid 20 sec range next year, which would put him at a world-class level.

Bhubaneswar, India Asian Championships Day 4
July 10, 2017
Fil-Heritage sprinter Trenten Beram clocked 20.96 to break the National Record again. Beram came into this competition with a PB of 21.12. Clocked 21.05 in the heats, 21.07 in the semis, and then 20.96 in the finals.
The 20.96 eclipsed his record in the heat with 0.0 wind.
Starting in Lane 2 in the finals, Trenten Beram came off the bend ahead. But was quickly swamped by the bigger sprinters on the inside.
But it was the tall Yang Chun-Han who came through in lane 8 to steal the gold in the last 10 meters clocking 20.66, well outside the Meet Record of 20.28.
Park Bongco of Korea held on for silver in 20.71, and defending champion, Femi Ogunode lost his 200m title in bronze with 20.79. Bie Genie of China was 4th in 20.85, and Beram 5th in 20.96.
The mark sets Beram well for the SEA Games, where he now has the 3 fastest times in South East Asia 2017 in the 200m with 20.96, 21.05, and 21.07. Vietnam’s Le Trong Hinh, who won the 2015 SEA Games in 20.89, has not run yet this year.
Beram, from New York, is competing for the University of Connecticut in NCAA Division 1. His mother is from Cebu.
Although this was the only Filipino athlete in action on the last day of the Asian Championships, other southeast Asian Nations showed signs of things to come.

Trenten Beram !!! breaks National 200m Record advances to Semis (video included)
Jul 9, 2017
‘
Fil-Heritage sprinter Trenten Beram broke his own Philippines National Record with a clocking of 21.05s to finish third in heat 1. The result, however, took a back seat to his fellow Fil-Am’s performance yesterday. Eric Cray won the 400 Hurdles earlier. The time was also a leading time for his event in South East Asia for 2017.
Beram is a scholar at the University of Connecticut with a Filipino mother from Cebu. Beram previously broke the National record at the Manila Open in June 2016 with 21.12.
This mark erased the 21.17 mark of Ralph Waldy Soguilon from 2007.
Beram finished third in heat 1 behind Bie Gie (China) 20.92, and Park Bongco (Korea) 20.97. He qualified fifth fastest into the Semi-Finals, which will be held this morning.
Nigerian-born Femi Ogunode (Qatar), a shocking second in the 100m after losing his title to Taftian of Iran, led the 200m easing up with a 20.79 run.
The only South East Asian there, Aravinn Thevar of Malaysia, equaled his SB of 21.33, placing 13th and qualifying for the Semi-Finals.
Beram currently leads Meenapra (Thailand), who had run 21.09 but only ran in the 4×100 at Asian Champs. Also, 18-year-old Thai Siripol Punpa had run 21.18, will undoubtedly see action in the ASEAN School Games in a few weeks.
Beram also has 400 times this year of 46.56 but decided to focus on the 200m.
*Beram has now supplied Pinoyathletics.info a copy of his passport confirming his 200m marks as a new national record
Beram officially surpasses 200m record of Soguilon
PATAFA held Time Trials on June 24 at Pasig. Using their new electronic timing device.
Anyone who made meets qualifying standards were welcome to join. It was, however, a tiny turnout but did attract two Fil-Heritage athletes and members of the national team.
The Highlight of the meet was Fil-Heritage sprinter Beram from New York. Surpassing the Philippine Record of Ralph Waldy Soguilon (21.17, 2007). However, apart from this, the mark meets all the criteria of a Philippine Record. 20-year-old Beram recorded a time of 21.12 with a (-0.1) headwind.
This improved on Trenten’s season-best of 21.22 (1.3) from May in Orlando. He had also run a wind-aided 21.08 (4.4) in April at Baton Rogue.
His official personal best is 21.09 (1.3) in Jacksonville last year. Trenten Beram is currently a scholarship athlete at the University of Connecticut.

SEA Games
Last SEA Games Le Trong Hinh of Vietnam won in 20.89, from Jathon Sathoengram of Thailand 21.05. And Jirapong Meenapra of Thailand 21.13. Apart from possibly Eric Cray, who competed in the 100 and 400 Hurdles last SEA Games. Beram is the only athlete who is a strong medal candidate in the SEA Games 200.

Trenten Beram had participated before during a leg of the weekly relays with a 48.3 400 meter jog in his offseason last year.
