Filipina sprinters Lauren Hoffman and Angel Frank broke Philippine indoor records in their respective events in the 2024 Clemson Bob Pollock Invitational in South Carolina over the weekend.
Hoffman, 24, clocked 53.91 seconds for a third-place finish in the women’s 400m category which shattered Kayla Richardson’s 54.94 mark in 2018 in Albuquerque, USA.
“My teammates and I intend to make that record even faster but I’m still gonna celebrate this achievement for now! All season long I’ll be celebrating small wins, big wins, and everything in between,” Hoffman posted on her Facebook.
The Virginia-native sprinter was behind Maya Singletary (52.34) and Clemson’s Ken’naria Gadson (53.69) who eventually sealed first and second places, respectively.
Recently, Hoffman also set the women's 600m record in the Hokie Invitational by registering 1 minute and 30.33 seconds which was enough to smash Daniel Quintero’s (1:36.93) in a Santa Barbara tilt in 2020.
On the other hand, Frank settled for 8th place in her stint but her 23.86-second performance eclipsed Zion Corrales-Nelson's 23.90 in the 200-meter race.
Hoffman and Frank bannered the Nationals in the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games last September alongside Robyn Brown and Maureen Schrijvers.
