MANILA, Philippines – Filipino athletes made sure their names were recorded in history books as they shattered records in 2019 Southeast Asian Games.

The national team conquered the inaugural obstacle course racing and set 4 new world records as Kevin Pascua clocked a record-breaking 29.92 seconds in the men’s 100 meters x 10 event while Rochelle Suarez topped the women’s 100m x 10 event and set the record at 46.79s. 

Nathaniel Sanchez, Jeffrey Reginio, Diana Buhler and Keilah Rodriguez smashed the record in obstacle race mixed team relay 400m x 12 event after fielding a time of 1 minute and 59.56 seconds while Monolito Divina, Kyle Antolin, Deanne Moncada and Kaizen Dela Serna set the best time in obstacle race mixed team assist 400m x 12 event in 3:48.35.

 

 

 

 

 

Just months after qualifying in 2020 Tokyo Olympics, pole vaulter EJ Obiena snagged his first SEA Games gold and listed a new meet-best of 5.45 meters while Natalie Uy did the same in women’s pole vault as she jumped in 4.25 meters.

William Morrison III flexed his way to the top of the podium and registered a SEA Games record of 18.38 meters in men’s shot put.

 

 

 

 

 

Kristina Knott proved to be the new queen of sprint as she set a new  SEA Games record in women’s 200m in 23.01s, just hours after she clocked 23.07s during the preliminaries.

Knott also joined Zion Corrales Nelson, Kyla and Kayla Richardson in the women’s 4×100 meter relay, where they set a new national record after finishing in 44.57s.
