The Philippine Athletics Track and Field Association (PATAFA) is eyeing three more athletes to earn berths to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics set July 3 to Aug. 8.
PATAFA President Philip Ella Juico said tracksters Eric Cray and Kristina Knott, and pole vaulter Natalie Uy – all national record-holders and based in the United States – have been concentrating on joining races to make the qualifying standard by the end of June.
Cray, who competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics, has been aiming to earn a spot in the 400-meter hurdles and is trying to compete in races near Texas where he is currently based.
