                    [Summary] => An athlete who was recently dropped from the national team broke an ancient 68-year-old Philippine record in men’s long jump yesterday as the National Open Track and Field Championship got off to a good start at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.


Henry Dagmil, a 22-year old Mapua student who was dropped from the national team early this year, came out of nowhere to win the gold medal with a jump of 7.83 meters. It broke the previous record of 7.65 set by Nino Ramirez in the May 2, 1936 National Open.
