JFK RUNNERS ON A MISSION

Other teams beware. The JFK Islanders are really, really, good.

The Islanders nearly completed a double-sweep of the competition by defeating a strong FD team,16-43, and beating Academy by the score of 15-49, Friday afternoon at the JFK campus.The Islanders remain undefeated for the season while the Friars pick up their second loss of the year after falling to the defending champion Guam High Panthers on Monday.

John Aquino IV of JFK lowered his course record again by shattering the 16-minute mark in a time of 15 minutes and 54 seconds. The Islanders continued their dominance and grabbed the next three places, led by Rey John Flores (17:44), Michael Murphy (18:04) and Karl Almoite (18:11). FD’s Jaden Pangelinan prevented the sweep by placing fifth in 18:26.

“It was good weather. It wasn’t sunny at all but it wasn’t rainy either. But our course was wet,” said JFK’s Flores.

Despite the course conditions, the Islanders were not willing to let it affect their approach to the race. In fact, many of the Islanders beat their personal records in the big victory on Friday.

“In a way (the course) affected us a little bit, but we had a strong mentality,” said Aquino.  “That’s what the race was all about today. Our coaches said it’s all about a strong mentality, so even though it was rough we all think about hitting a (personal record) and that’s the main goal.”

“They played it smart today and that’s how the whole team (set a personal record) because usually when it’s a race everyone gets so excited and moves up in the beginning and die-out. Just like I said, it’s a mental race, so everyone relaxed, calmed down, stayed at their pace and everyone (set a personal record),” Aquino added.

Flores has been battling teammate Murphy all season long for the second spot, but on Friday he pulled away in the second of three course loops and finished with a personal record.

“I focused on my pack, because my pack is usually with (Michael) Murphy,” said Flores. “Today I felt strong because I actually took a nap before the race. As I was going with Murphy, he kept surging, so I decided just to leave and take my own race towards the end.”

With the regular season coming to a close, the Islanders have been preparing for the championship meets in October.

“This whole week has been pretty hard for us because it’s our last week,” said Flores. “It’s been pretty tough because Coach Jay (Antonio) is making sure that we know it’s our last week. As seniors it’s our last year too and Monday is our last race before All Island.”

“All Island is the main goal and API (Asia Pacific Invitational). We’re definitely aiming to do good at API and represent Guam, not only our school,” added Aquino.

Lady Islanders Sweep Cougars

JFK’s Jadine ‘Mika’ Rosario grabbed the first of seven-consecutive lady Islander finishers with a time of 22:12. Rosario was followed closely by teammate Keiha Yoo, who finished two seconds back in 22:14. From there the Islanders’ Pilar Righetti (22:45), Maria Ollet (23:23), Queenie Agtarap (23:31) capped off the top five finishers.

“Today was all about mentality for me and my teammates,” said Rosario. “We pushed each other and worked hard. We set our goals and were able to achieve them, and now we have new goals, too.”

Rosario said that her teammates are looking forward to more personal records as the season comes to a close.

“I’m really proud of my team and thank them for always pushing me, and my coaches, for all the training that they’ve given me and all the support I have from my friends and family,” added Rosario.
