PROVINCIAL PALARO
Cauayan boy sparkles
RULES CENTURY DASH,
LONG JUMP; AREA I AHEAD
BY CEDELF TUPAS

No shoes. No problem.

Barefoot and all, Richmar Villaluz, a muscular 12-year-old boy from Inayawan, Cauayan, took the spotlight at the start of the Palarong Panlalawigan athletics competition by snaring two golds at the University of St. La Salle tracks yesterday.

The grade six pupil out of Inayawan Elementary School insisted he is not used to wearing shoes when he's competing.

So it came as no surprise when he overwhelmed his shod rivals in the long jump event, where he was immediately noticed as the boy, armed with precise execution and remarkable spring on his legs.
