If plans don’t miscarry, the country will have a couple of more athletes, possibly hurdlers John Cabang Tolentino and Lauren Hoffman, claiming spots in the Paris Olympics this July.

Both have erased national records, with the 22-year-old Filipino-Spaniard clocking 13.37 seconds in the men’s 110-meter hurdles and smashing the old one of 13.53 he set in July last year in Torrent, Spain; and the 25-year-old Fil-American timing in 13.34 in the women’s 100m hurdles and eclipsing her old mark of 13.41 she had in Durham last month.
And the grind continues for both, especially with Tolentino, who is scheduled to participate in four events, one in the gold-standard Seiko meeting in Japan set May 19 and the other three in Spain.Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association president Terry Capistrano, for his part, said he had at least seven from track and field who he thinks has a chance to punch a ticket to the French capital.
One hopeful that also may make the cut is 21-year-old Harvard standout Victoria Bossong, whose best time of 2:00.92 in the 800m is eerily closer to the Paris cut clocking of 1:59.30.
