MANILA, Philippines –
It came just a little over two weeks after she set a national record in the 400m hurdles in the Hurricane Collegiate Invitational in Coral Gables, Florida where she timed in 56.39 seconds. While Hoffman is still far from the Olympic standard in 100m hurdles , 400m hurdles and 400m , she isn’t giving up on her hope of making the quadrennial event alongside pole-vaulter EJ Obiena, gymnasts Carlos Yulo and Aleah Finnegan, boxers Eumir Marcial, Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas, and weightlifters Vanessa Sarno, John Febuar Ceniza and Elreen Ando.
