Prospect swimmer Jennuel Booh de Leon of Aklan turns heads and puts college suitors on notice with a stunningly quick record performance to win his first-ever Palarong Pambansa individual gold medals. Palaro2023
MANILA, Philippines – From the time he was born, Jennuel Booh de Leon seemed like he was destined to excel in the world of swimming.
On his way to just his first-ever Palaro gold medal in individual competition, De Leon stunned fans and record-keepers with a 26.78-second finish in secondary boys 50m backstroke, nearly three seconds faster than the previous high of 29.18 set by Calabarzon’s John Neil Paredes in 2019. The soft-spoken standout was practically speechless after his impressive winning streak, but took the time to thank everyone who mattered most in his third and likely final Palarong Pambansa.
Like many others before him, De Leon now eyes higher goals and is hoping to test international waters sometime soon in his budding career.
