LAOAG CITY — Chrishia Mae Tajarros of Tanauan National High School did not travel from Leyte all the way here for more than 800 miles to settle for another bridesmaid finish in the secondary girls’ 3,000-meter run.
On a torrid Sunday morning here, the vengeful Eastern Visayas bet this time pretty much had a coronation run by blazing through the coveted first gold medal unopposed in the 2025 Palarong Pambansa at the Ferdinand E. Marcos Memorial Stadium (FEMMS).
The incoming Grade 9 student ran like a grizzled cheetah among a herd of lost sheep by completing the 7.5-lap, 3,000m race in 10 minutes and 18.6 seconds, thanks to a breakaway in the first 400 meters alone.
