Janario also anchored the team of Rosemarie Olorvida, Feiza Lenton and Gemmalyn Fino in winning the gold medal in the 4?400 relay. She had collected five golds including wins in 100m dash, 100m hurdles and 4?100 with the same teammates.

?My dream is to compete in the Olympics,? said the 5-foot-6 Janario and according to PSC commissioner Jolly Gomez she might be sent to the United States for intensive training. "She's a future Olympian and would soon follow the footsteps of Lydia de Vega," said Dr. Lucrecio Calo, former PSC Executive Director and founder of the LSA.

Mary Flor Diaz of Zamboanga City broke the girls 44-kilogram mark in snatch, clean and jerk, and total registering 54-62-119 in girls' weightlifting. Her record broken by Diaz, Eilen Rose Perez established a new record in winning the 48kg gold, with lifts of 57-62-119.

Cebu City dominated lawn tennis with Jan Godfrey Seno, Zethley Alferez and Jana Pages grabbing the golds wth Seno in boys' singles, Alferez in girls' singles, and Alferez-Pages in girls' doubles.

Lorenzo Jenkins Labao of Baguio City bagged the gold medals in the boys? 100-meter butterfly and 200m individual medley for ages 13-15 to become the most decorated athlete in the national finals. Baguio won 10 gold, 11 silver and 11 bronze medals in swimming but was second only to Quezon City?s 14-11-2 medal haul in the pool.

?Because it?s cold in Baguio, only a few of us excelled in swimming,? said Labao. ?The pool there now is very cold at two degrees Celsius.? He also dominated the 400m freestyle, 50m butterfly and 400m individual medley, and the 200m medley and 200m freestyle relays with teammates Dan Christian Leyba, Renz Gawidan and Neil Nazarro.
