MANILA, Philippines — Allaeza Mae Gulmatico and Maria Louisse Crisselle Alejado won their respective individual time trial (ITT) races yesterday to make Iloilo proud anew in the PhilCycling National Championships for Road presented by the MVP Sports Foundation and Standard Insurance.
Gulmatico clocked 14 minutes and 45.90 seconds in ruling the women’s Youth 1 ITT (12 to 14 years old) in the 5.38-km course in Nasugbu and Batulao in Batangas, which opened its doors to the event organized by PhilCycling headed by Philippine Olympic Committee president Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino.
It was a very close win for Gulmatico who beat Ysabel Nicole Jamero by a mere 38-hundredth of a second with Joanna Mae Armendez coming at third, almost 50 seconds behind. Alejado, on the other hand, crossed in 22:46.51 to rule the Youth 2 race over 8.60 kms for 12 to 14 years old. She was 24 seconds ahead of Yvaine Osias. Althea Coronado was third, more than three minutes off.
