KORONADAL CITY: Stephanie Cimatu
of Ilocos Region set a new record Friday in the girls elementary
javelin throw as defending champion National Capital Region
virtually wrapped the overall title in the 2007 Palarong Pambansa at
the South Cotabato Sports Complex here.
The 13-year-old Cimatu, a protégé
of former Southeast Asian Games champion Erlinda Lavandia, poured it
all in her fourth attempt for a record-breaking distance of 38.53
meters, way ahead of the old mark of 34.94 meters recorded by Nina
Malinao of Calabarzon in Pili, Camarines Sur, in 1997.
