Beram

Trenten Anthony Beram, is not only the First Filipino to win the 200m Dash at the SEA Games. But he is the first ever medallist in this event in the 40 year history of the Philippines at the SEA Games. Beram sped to a very comfortable 3 stride victory in a time of 20.83 shattering his 20.96 National Record. The 20.96 was when he placed 5th at the Asian Championships in Bhubaneswar, India in June.

Trenten representing the Philippines, beat out 2013 SEA Games Champion Jirapong Meenapra 21.22, and the surpise on the night was Arevin Gunasegaran of Malaysia in 21.26. 100m Champion Khairul Hafiz Jantan of Malaysia was locked out of medal with 21.28, and was found to be injured afterwards

Trenten was the only athlete at this championship to break 21 seconds, having led the heats in 20.99. So his best and third best time ever at these championships.

Trenten is currently at the University of Connecticut participating in the NCAA Divison 1. He hails from New York and his mother is from Cebu.

Beram should be able to break into the Mid 20 sec range in the next year or so which would put him at world class level.
