May 18, 2024, 9:50 pmHarvard University’s middle-distance runner Victoria Bossong delivered a promising performance at her debut in the 2024 ICTSI Philippine Athletics Championships in the Philippines.
Despite clocking one of her slower times this season, Bossong secured the gold medal with a finish of 2 minutes and 9.56 seconds. Although this time was below her season’s best of 2:00.92, achieved at the Pepsi Florida Relays in late March, Bossong remained elated and proud of her first race in the Philippines.
Bossong’s mother, a dentist with roots in Puerto Galera, Mindoro Oriental, expressed pride in her daughter’s accomplishments. Bossong is now preparing to head to Lexington, Kentucky, where she will compete in the NCAA Division I East Regional from May 22 to 25 as one of four Maine track and field athletes.
“I want to bring pride and honor to the country. I think I did that. It’s definitely a glimpse of what I can do. I can run for two minutes flat. But this was not close to that. But it’s all part of the journey. It’s all part of the step,” Bossong commented on her performance.
