THE Philippines completed a six-gold sweep of the obstacle course racing (OCR) in the 30th Southeast Asian Games (SEAG) after posting 1-2 finishes in both men’s and women’s individual 5K x 20 obstacles on Friday morning at the Filinvest City in Mandaluyong.

Mervin Guarte clocked 25 minutes and 31 seconds to grab the gold while Mohammad Sherwin Managil timed 26:16 to pick up the silver.

In the women’s side, Sandi Menchi Abahan emerged fastest in 33:30 even as Glorien Merisco finished runner-up in 40 minutes.

Their victories capped the Philippine OCR team’s dominance triggered by golden triumphs in the men’s and women’s individual 100M x 10, mixed team assist 400M x 12 and mixed team relay 400M x 12 last Wednesday.
