Atilano
eyes SEAG gold
BY CEDELF TUPAS
After breaking the 16-year-old Philippine record in women's 100-m hurdles, Sheena Atilano aims for another milestone: A Southeast Asian Games gold medal.
At the rate things are going, breaching the 13.4 second-mark, the clocking of the winner two years ago, is "very possible", Atilano told the DAILY STAR last night.
Her current personal-best of 13.65 seconds is a Philippine
record and one-hundred tenths of a second faster than the mark of Elma
Muros, who established the mark also in the SEA Games in 1991.
