MCLEEN Gomera and Judy Ann Padilla crushed their respective rivals to split the 16-and-under titles then matched runner-up finishes in the premier side to lead a mix of winners in the PPS-PEPP national juniors tennis championships in Consolacion, Cebu over the weekend.

The top-seeded Gomera warded off No. 6 Ariel Cabaral, 6-4, 6-3, in the semis then the Bacolod, Lanao del Norte rising star stopped unranked Juvels Velos in his tracks, 6-2, 6-2, to add the Consolacion leg to his growing 16-U trophy collection in the Group 2 tournament wrapping up the four-leg Cebu swing of the country's longest talent-search that included stops in Mandaue, Lapu-Lapu and Naga.
