Patafa to hold 2 meets in March

THE Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (Patafa) is hitting two birds with one stone as it stages the 12th South East Asia (SEA) Youth Athletics Championships and the National Open Invitational Athletics Championships one after the other in March next year at Ilagan, Isabela.

The SEA Youth Athletics meet is set March 27-28 and features athletes 17-years-and-below from neighboring countries, while the National Open follows after from March 30 to April 2 and serves as the final tryout for local athletes seeking to compete in next year’s SEA Games in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
