2018 Batang Pinoy National Finals Day 3 Report

(Please note some of the events may not be the actual day of the event I am just posting results and doing reviews as I get them).

Peter Lachica of South Cotabato broke the Batang Pinoy Record in the 2000 Walk with a time of 10:08.76. The mark absolutely shattered the previous performance of Vincent Vianamar Dela Cruz of Bulacan who timed 10:58.01 two years ago. So strong was the performance that all three medalists dipped well under the previous mark. Mark Anthony Estoya and Edmar De Guzman also surpassing the Meet Record.

And the fifth record of the games went to Patrick Shane Tolentino of Zambales who cleared 1.93m to tie the 2014 Meet Record of Alexis Soqueno of Bacolod who went onto become Palaro Champion three times in the High Jump and won a silver in the SEA Youth in the 400 Hurdles before retiring from the sport at an early age. Tolentino dominated these games with the second placer well beaten with 1.70m.

While in the Girls 2000m Steeples a new record was established as this is the first time the event has ever been held at the Batang Pinoy. Margvrylle Matchino of Laguna comes from a family of distance runners her older brother Maverick being a Palaro Champion in the 800m in 2015 in Tagum. She timed 8:04.24.

Batang Pinoy Record #7 went to Jan Rey Gallano of Laguna, whose time of 57.20 was an electronic record with the Hand timed 56.8 of Alexis Soqueno of Bacolod still standing at 56.8 since 2014. Soqueno took a silver medal at the SEA Youth Champs before retiring early from the sport.

Record #8 Jason Jabol of Dasmarinas City broke the Meet Record of Veruel Verdadero 23.01 set in Tagum in 2016. Jabol won the 100m earlier in the Batang Pinoy. Veruel the 2x Palaro Champion in the 100 and 200 have now transferred from Dasmarinas to JRU and will be representing NCR at the Palaro having been with STCAA since he started high school.

Day 2 Report

With the organizers of this meet stating it will be the selection for the SEA Youth Championships that the Philippines is planning to hold next year. I think we should really hit the panic button. As in the last 2 SEA Youth Championships Athletics, the Philippines hosted in Ilagan in 2017 and had 1 Gold Medal after selecting a large team of nearly 80 athletes. In retrospect, the Thais sent a small contingent of 5 athletes and garnered 6 golds.

Then in 2018, the Philippines sent a smaller contingent to the SEA Youth held in Thailand and ended up with 0 Golds. In fact, they finished 7th and behind Timor Leste (a country of just over a million people).

In comparison when the Grass root coaches were in charge of the ASEAN School Games they got 4 Golds and 6 Golds in 2017 and 2018 with almost the same group of athletes.

The Worrying thing is that a lot of the countries best athletes eligible for the SEA Youth did not join the Batang Pinoy as they are one year too old (2003 cutoff, SEA Youth 2002). Or they missed out on the elimination rounds due to other qualifying meets for Palaro or being out of season training-wise.

We should note in the 2017 and 2018 SEA Youth Games were the Philippines had 1 and 0 Golds respectively. During the 2016 Batang Pinoy, there were multiple record breakers. Compared to this year the competition depth is not as strong. The Philippines finished 6th and 7th overall at the last 2 SEA Youth Champs in Athletics.

Hurano Breaks Record

Diana Hurano, 15 of Bohol took the first record of the competition after a rather uneventful first day. Hurano leap of 5.45m broke the meet record of Gianelli Gatinga of Taguig set in 2015. While Hurano mark was impressive, at the same age Elma Muros had leaped 5.84m in 1982. Muros holds all the best ever performances still in the Long Jump for ages 14 to 18.

Meanwhile Mariel Abuano of Botolan, Zambales was in full command of the Girls High Jump winning by 20cm with a new meet record of 1.55m which passed the old mark of Saira De Vera of Pangasinan of 1.49m set in 2015.

Day 1 Report

Please note that the Organizers decided to disqualify Charlaine and Charmaine De Ocampo from the 400m Girls before the Final of the 400 after qualifying for heats. As it was ruled they did not participate in the mandatory Luzon Leg. Hence there were only 6 starters in the 400m Girls.
