Tabal, Salaño reign supreme in SM2SM Run 7
Another win for Mary Joy Tabal during the 7th SM2SM 21K run earlier today.
Cebuana Olympian Mary Joy Tabal and Bulacan’s Richard Salaño dominated the SM2SM Run 7 held earlier at the grounds of SM City Cebu.
Tabal proved once again why she is the country’s top runner when she defended her 21-kilometer title for the fifth straight time by finishing the race in one hour, 25 minutes and five seconds.
Ruffa Sorongon came in at second place with a time of 1:27.47 while Nhea Ann Barcena ranked third at 1:32.08.
Salaño, for his part, survived former Milo Marathon king Rafael Poliquit by the skin of his teeth to bag the 21k men’s crown.
Salaño timed 1:13.18 while Poliquit breasted the tape at 1:13.19 in a photo finish with Mclin Sadia, who was declared third placer by race officials.
The 12k champions were Prince Joey Lee and Cindy Lorenzo who clocked in 40:34 and 48:36, respectively. The 7k’s fastest runners were Noel Tillor ( 24:02) and Cherry Andrin (29:20) while Mary Joy Loberanes (11:37) and Ariel Saballa (09:34) were the winning runners in the 3k distance.
A total of 6,600 runners participated in the event organized by SM Prime Holdings Inc.
