Calayo claims long jump title

It must have been the searing weather why Central Luzon’s Michael Calayo was not able to neither surpass nor equal the current record of 7.15 meters during the STRAA in 2002.
But Calayo’s leap of 6.98 meters enabled him to grab the championship in the long jump event, secondary boys division of the 2008 Palarong Pambansa at the Ramon V. Mitra Sports Complex, April 22.
Ariel Magayon of Calabarzon placed second with 6.65 meters while Davao’s Ramjay Carado was third with 6.47 meters.
