Negros
athletic aces
brace for Asian meet
Four of Negros Occidental's athletic standouts in the Philippine Team are bracing for the Asian Athletics Championships scheduled late this month in Irbid, Jordan.
Philippine record holders Sheena Atilano of La Carlota City and Arniel Ferrera of Cauayan will be at the forefront of the Philippine bid in the July 25-29 competition. Joining them are long jump specialist Joebert Delicano of Victorias City and female hammer thrower Loralie Amahit of Binalbagan.
Ferrera said he is looking at the meet as a gauge of his progress in training
for the 24th Southeast Asian Games in Ratchasima, Thailand, where he will defend
his hammer throw crown.

pool Negros Billiards Stable ace Ricky Zerna of Dumaguete City came-from-behind to nip John Rebong, 11-9, to rule the 2007 Puyat Sports 9-Ball Tournament late Sunday at the Bowling Inn in Manila. Maximizing the winner's break format, Zerna completed the dramatic win by clustering nine straight racks in the finals of the 32-man event. Zerna beat veteran campaigner Jojo Santos (9-3) in the winner's brackets before losing to 2006 Sydney World Junior quarter-finalist Renemar "Revo" David (9-2) in the second round that put him in the loser's side. But the Dumaguete
native disposed national women's team member Iris Ranola (9-3), Roberto Dy (9-7)
and Napoleon Labrador (9-4) to earn the right to face in the finals. |
