FRANKLIN Yee and Mary Joy Trupa defended their respective titles in the elite sprint category of the National Age Group Duathlon held at Villar City in Las Piñas City yesterday.

The 23-year-old Yee, a native of Bogo City, Cebu dominated the race (5km run-20km bike-2.5km run) in 56:20, improving the 57:13 he registered last year.

John Patrick Ciron of Iriga City, Camarines Sur finished second in 56.43, also an improvement as he clocked 57:26 to secure the bronze medal last year. Maynard Pecson of Baguio City ranked third with a time of 58:56.

“I’m happy to win again,” said Yee, a 4th year business management student at the University of San Carlos.

Pecson, the second-best Filipino finisher at the Ironman 70.3 in Davao two weeks ago, did not expect to medal.

“There are many strong competitors, especially the young ones,” said the 27-year-old Pecson, a graduating tourism management student from St. Louis University.

“I’m glad that I won, the goal is to keep on improving,” said Trupa, who graduated from the Tarlac Agricultural University in Camiling with a agri-business degree last January.

“I can now focus on my training and competitions,” said Trupa, who together with Yee and Pecson, will join the T100 Singapore event on April 25-26.
