TRACK & FIELD NATIONALS DRAWS BIGGEST NUMBERS

Cash prizes were incentives

The 2025 Guam Track and Field National Championships held its annual meet Saturday afternoon at the JFK Track in Upper Tumon. According to Guam Track and Field Association (GTFA) official Desmond Mandell III, the meet was the largest National Open Championships ever held.

The increase in the number of participants can be attributed to the cash prize incentive to all winners, and each participant recieved an event shirt designed by Olympian Regine Tugade.

A huge number of athletes came from the high school season. Fresh off their season, which concluded two weeks ago, the high school all-islanders tested their skills against open division athletes.  

The Meet consisted of six field events, including the high jump and eight track events. Hugh Kent, coming off his freshman season from Portland, won all three of his events. After taking a 3 week break, Kent took the track and scooped three events – the 800, 1500, and 5000 meter events. Tugade also won all three of her events – the long jump, triple jump, and the 100-meter sprint.

“My season ended three weeks ago, and I took a break. I just started back to running just yesterday,” said Kent. “From an outside perspective, it’s nice seeing all these athletes coming out and competing right out high school.”

All around athlete Joshua Cantara (2024 GSPN Athlete of the Year) competed in multiple events. He said the meet was a good event and entered the event to keep his competitive spirit alive. “For me, I’m going to keep competing until age tells me to stop,” said Cantara.

“I might not be able to keep up with these younger athletes, but I just keep pushing myself, and I come close – that makes me feel good.”

Canatara urged all athletes thinking about competing to come out for the next one. “You never know until you try it. It’s an open meet, open to everyone. Who knows? You might surprise yourself and unlock a new skill set. “

Genie Gerardo won the women’s discus and shot put events and used the competition as a tune-up for the Pacific Mini Games, which takes place late next month in Palau.

“It’s a good turnout. The prize incentive does help, and it got more kids to come out and compete,” said Gerardo. “This is also a good tune-up for those athletes competing in the Mini Games as well”.

Several Guam athletes going to the Pacific Mini Games this summer in Palau came out to compete in the Open Meet. “This meet will help all of us know where we stand. For me, it helps to tell me what I need to work on for a technical perspective.”
