National trackfest slated in Baguio
MANILA, Philippines — Southeast Asian Games gold medalists, headed by marathon queen Christine Hallasgo, lead the cast of participants in the Ayala National Athletics Championships set Dec. 16 and 17 at the Baguio Athletic Bowl.
Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA) president Philip Ella Juico said the two-day meet would serve as a performance competition for Hallasgo and the other national mainstays who are seeing action in the Hanoi Southeast Asian Games in May and Hangzhou Asian Games in September.
“This is an attempt to go back to normal with all the precautions, of course, and our athletes need to remove all the rust also,” Juico told yesterday’s online PSA Forum.
Close to 300 athletes from around the country will participate.
