UAAP Media</div>MANILA — Adamson University’s Abdul Saud dominated the 5,000-meter race walk in the UAAP Season 88 High School Boys’ Athletics, proving that hard work eventually pays off, one step at a time.Saud’s new mark erased the previous UAAP record of 25:59.95, set by University of Santo Tomas’ Gabriel Cervantes in Season 86 on November 22, 2023.It was sweet redemption for Saud, who had settled for silver last season in the same event. This time, he not only reclaimed the top spot but also set a new benchmark.&quot;Sobrang saya ko kasi last year, silver medalist lang ako. Pero ngayon bukod sa gold medalist na, na-break ko pa yung record,&quot; Saud expressed.Determined to come back stronger, Saud dedicated the offseason to refining his form and endurance under the guidance of head coach Ronald Corot, whom he credits for helping him regain confidence and composure on the track.“Nagsipag lang talaga ako sa pag-training. Ako po kasi &#x27;yung binabantayan nila kasi po ako ‘yung inaasahan nilang manalo,” he said.Saud also drew strength from his family, who have supported him since he first joined Adamson’s athletics program.“Pamilya ko po talaga ang inspirasyon ko, pati na rin si coach Ronald na laging nagsasabi sa akin na kaya ko at kaya kong i-break &#x27;yung record,” he added.Despite this milestone, the season isn’t over yet for the young Falcon.Saud is set to compete in the 3,000-meter race walk on Day 3, where he posted the UAAP’s all-time best of 14:16.94 in Season 87 on November 19, 2024. He will also participate in the 5,000-meter run and the 1,500-meter run on Day 4.
