National record holder Natalie Uy finishes way off her personal best but captures the pole vault gold just the same in the Philippine Athletics Championships.
ISABELA, Philippines — Natalie Uy claimed the pole vault crown over fellow Filipino-American Alyana Nicolas in the Philippine Athletics Championships on Saturday, March 25, at Ilagan Sports Complex.
As the Southeast Asian Games record holder, Uy also has her sights set on redeeming herself at the upcoming regional meet in Cambodia, after failing to reach the podium last year in Vietnam. Both Uy and Nicolas plan to return to the US before representing the Philippines again in the SEA Games this May.
