2017 SEA Games Beram takes second Gold in 400m (Video)
Aug 28, 2017
US-based Trenten Anthony Beram beat the much favored Quach Cong Lich (5th in Asian
Champs) to win the SEA Games 400m by the narrowest of Margins. Running in Lane 7
(explained at end of article). Beram added the 400 to his 200 title he had won earlier in the
SEA Games. The 5th Gold Medal for the Philippines.
The 21-year-old was out fast, but the field started closing in around the 300m mark. It was
Luong Van Thao of Vietnam who struck first challenging Beram around the 250m mark.
Then the Big legs of Quach tried to reel in Beram in the last 80m. 18 Year old Pitchaiya
Sunthortuan of Thailand who had just run 46.87 to break the SEA School Games Record by a
second a few months back also was closing in strong.
In the end, Beram held off the challenge and just hung onto a win in 46.39 from Sunthortuan
who improved his best time again to 46.46 (which may have been a Thai Junior Record?),
Quach who stills had the fastest time of the year (46.35) could only cling onto bronze in
46.48.
The Other Filipino in the race, the ever-smiling Edgardo Alejan the 2015 SEA Bronze
medallist and 2017 SEA Silver medallist, this time finished outside of the medals in 7th in
47.68. Perhaps at 30 looming towards the end of his 8-year career in the national team.
Beram time of 46.39 was the second fastest ever time by a Filipino Athlete only Isidro Del
Prado 45.57 National Record set in 1984 ASEAN Cup in Manila is faster. Beram also
improved on his 46.56 PB set at the American Outdoor Champs, in Houston on 13 May.
Unlike the 200m, The Philippines has a proud tradition of Quarter Mile
Champions. Del Prado, Romeo Gido, Ernie Candelario, Jimar Aing, Julius Nierras
and Archand Bagsit also have been champions in this event.
Beram may have a greater potential in this event than the 400m, as he could probably be a
low 45 or high 44 runner one day in this event with more emphasis on this event which
would be world class. Beram is currently at the University of Connecticut.

KUALA LUMPUR – Despite cramps and drawing an outer lane, Treten Beram hurdled both
obstacles for the country’s first athletic golden double in the 29th Malaysian Southeast Asian
Games with a heroic win in the men’s 400-meter run at the National Stadium
here Thursday night.
The top-notcher in the qualifiers earlier in the day, the cramp-stricken Beram was
inexplicably drawn in the more difficult lane No. 7, while hometown rival Muhammad Azam
Masri, who was fourth in the prelims, was placed in the favorable inside lane No. 5.
But the apparent ploy to by the Malaysian hosts to give their athlete an added edge backfired
as the gallant Fil-Am runner accelerated in the last 10 meters in winning the gold in 46.39
seconds to follow-up to his triumph in the men’s 200-meter race on Wednesday.
In what seemed like poetic justice, Thailand’s P Sunthontuam took silver (46.46), Vietnam’s
Quach Cong Lich, the 2015 Singapore SEAG silver medallist in the event, bronze (46.48)
while Masri wound up fourth (47.24)
It marked the first time in recent memory that a Filipino runner was able to sweep both the
men’s 200 and 400-meter runs in the Southeast Asia’s premier sports showcase.I
In the only other night results, Janry Ubas could only muster a leap of 7.75 meters in the
men’s long, good for bronze.
“I felt the cramps just an hour before the race,” the University of Connecticut student bared while breathing heavily from the . “We did a lot of massage and hydration because I really felt heavy entering the race.
“I knew I had to give my 100,000 percent to win. I just thank God that he gave me the strength to do it.”
Fuming on the sidelines was national team manager Edward Kho, who questioned track
technical officials why Bertram had been relegated to the outer and more challenging lane.
“They seemed to have played around with the international track rules that the top
four qualifiers can be assigned to lanes No. 4, 5, 6 and 7,” Kho said. “Our athlete
was the top qualifier so why should he placed in the outer lane.”
Though taxed to the hilt by challenging conditions he faced, Bertram merely
shrugged them off, saying: It’s still 400 meters all around. I just couldn’t see my
competitors. But it still sprint so you have to run as fast you can.”
After two straight gruelling days of racing, he had only one thing on his mind:
“Time to get me much-needed sleep.”
My Response to the Lane Ruling
- Please Note I have been informed that the matter of the lanes assignments has now been corrected as follows.
- If its an 8 lane track, its 3,4,5,6 for the four fastest qualifiers based on random lane draw
- This is a lane 9 lane track 1 isn’t used. so it should be 4,5,6,7 as the middle lanes.
- Beram is lane 7, which is like lane 6 on an 8 lane track.
- In IAAF Rule 166 it states lane 3,4,5,6 correctly
however
- thus this forces out 4,5,6,7 to become the middle lanes.I believe the rule was followed right. Edward is doing a terrific job as Manager meeting the needs of the athletes and I am very happy to see Trenten doing well at these championships.
