The fourteen-year-old Erediano of the Sacred Heart-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) ended her Ironkids experience with a fifth title since she started in 2014.
Erediano completed the 400-meter swim, 12-kilometer bike and 4km run race in 39 minutes and 22.01, outshining Jeanna Mariel Canete (40:38.71) and Kelly Yw Long (43:24.46).
“I did my best today, it was a tough race. I was happy with my overall performance. I had to catch up since I was behind after the swim,” said Erediano.
Erediano was confident coming into the race.
“I feel grateful of the win. Nakulbaan ko na di ko ma first because I was intimidated when they said that I will be competing against tough rivals,” said Hermosa.
