4 Meet Records Fall amid 51 National Elite Marks at the 2012 HHSAA Track and Field Championship

Tribune-Herald Kea'au - Konawaena’s Emalia Galdeira led Big Island qualifiers heading into today’s finals of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association track and field championships at the Keaau High School track.  

KEAAU, Hawaii — Michael Teves says he isn’t very good under pressure. He proved himself wrong Friday.

Live results of the 2012 HHSAA Track and Field Championship will be available on Hawaii MileSplit

KEAAU — Keaau track and field coach Vicky Chai-Guerpo was at a loss for words Saturday night. And for good reason — the Cougars had just brought their school its first Big Island Interscholastic Federation team championship.

Hawaii County DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND RECREATION Age Group Track & Field Meet - February 11, 2012 Kamehameha Pai'ea Kea'au, HI

  Hawaii County Parks and Recreation Age-Group Track and Field Meet Konawaena High School 2/11/2012 Results  

  Individual Champions: I’olani’s Esaki and Seabury Hall’s Grossman Win Convincingly Troy Esaki was not the favorite, but he was a young man on a mission motivated by a sister, who he had watched have the race of her life four years prior on the exact same course.  On Saturday, I’olani’s Esaki completed his mission and met his destiny by winning the 2011 HHSAA/Honolulu Marathon Hawaii State Cross Country Boys Individual Championship at the Kapalua Village Golf Course on Maui.

  Hawaii Preparatory Academy Girls Upset Punahou Running is an unpredictable sport and what everyone expects to happen sometimes doesn’t happen.  On Saturday, the Hawaii Preparatory Academy “Ka Makani” Girls (35) pulled off the most improbable of upsets by beating heavily favored Punahou (50) at the 2011 HHSAA/Honolulu Marathon Hawaii State Cross Country Championship held at the Kapalua Golf Course on Maui.  On the eve of the race, the humble and esoteric Coach Franklin read to his team from Shakespeare’s “Henry V”, and the result was magical.  

  Battle Royale: Leilehua Mules Hold Off Maui High Sabers The 2011 HHSAA/Honolulu Marathon Hawaii State Cross Country Championship Boys’ race was set up to be a dogfight and it ended as a battle between three teams from three different Leagues.  Pre-race favorite Leilehua Mules (55) of the OIA used their team depth win out by only eight points over an impressive end-of-race surge by the Maui High Sabers (63) of the MIL at the Kapalua Golf Course on Maui.  Meanwhile, the ILH Runner-up I’olani Red Raiders (74) fought to within 11 points of Maui with a convincing third place finish over the ILH Champion Punahou Buff-n-Blu (108) in yet another shuffling of bragging rights within the ILH.  

2011 HHSAA/Honolulu Marathon State Cross Country Championships: Individual Contender Preview The boys team race should be a “dogfight” between a multitude of schools from across all leagues and Islands.  The girls team race is looking to be a conflict between two outer-island “David’s” and one Oahu “Goliath.”  Both the Boys and Girls races are going to be good ones for several different reasons. However, two other races will run in parallel with the team events – Additionally, a Boys and Girls individual champion will emerge from Saturday’s State Meet.  Everyone has a favorite runner, and an opinion as to why that runner will win.  Rather than make predictions, here are some points to ponder in Saturday’s big races so you may make your own predictions:

  2011 HHSAA/Honolulu Marathon State Cross Country Championships: Girls’ Team Preview The Top Girls’ Team Contenders (In Alphabetical Order)   ·         Hawaii Preparatory Academy (BIIF) ·         Punahou (ILH) ·         Seabury Hall (MIL)   Girls’ Team Preview: The MacDonald Clan is all about running.  Duncan is a former American record holder and US Olympian.  His Daughter, Eri, is the only Hawaii runner who can claim four of four HHSAA State Cross Country Championships.  Moreover, since McDonald took the reigns as the Head Coach of the Punahou Girls’ Cross Country program from Hugh Jenkins in the late 1990’s, he has led the Buff-n-Blu to eight State titles.  Last year, Coach MacDonald equaled his predecessor by winning his sixth consecutive championship.  This Saturday, the Coach will lead his team in an attempt to do what has never been achieved by a girl’s cross country team, and done only once by a boy’s team: Win a seventh consecutive State Cross Country Championship.

2011 HHSAA/Honolulu Marathon State Cross Country Championships: Overview and Boys Team Preview Even while high school football and volleyball are making headlines in the traditional press, there has been a quiet renaissance rising in the Islands.  Fueling this movement are the multitudes of young athletes who compete every Saturday over field, hill and trail for fleet-footed dominance in the most disciplined, painful, and rewarding of sports.  Times have been dropping and interest has been peaking within Hawaii’s running community over the increasingly popular sport of high school cross-country.  These young runners will gather at the Kapalua Village Golf Course on Maui this Saturday for the HHSAA/Honolulu Marathon 2011 Cross Country State Championships. 

Punahou Pulls off a Surprise Sweep at the ILH Cross Country Championships   Punahou School, Honolulu, Oahu (10/22/2011) - According to League officials, it has never happened before – One school managed to win all six events at this Saturday’s ILH Cross Country Championships. The Buff-N-Blue of Punahou won the Boys’ and Girls’ Varsity, Junior Varsity and Intermediate team races.  Some of the races were blowouts; however, some of the events were so close that it came down to just a few points.

Course Records Fall and Frontrunners Emerge at an Exciting Punahou Invitational   Punahou School, Honolulu, Oahu (10/8/2011) - Until their appearance on the track for warm-ups, Maui’s Seabury Hall kept everyone guessing on whether they’d show to take on the Punahou girls at Saturday’s Invitational.  In the most-anticipated race of the day, it was a mixed result as the Buff-n-Blue Girls (32) took the team victory with all five of their scoring runners in the top ten.    

Central Oahu Regional Park – Waipio (10/1/2011) As of mid-season, the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) competitive fires heated up for the Varsity Boys. In the initial results, team scores were not officially tallied. However, in unofficial team scoring, Punahou (53) edged out a narrow victory over I’olani (63), Hawaii Baptist Academy (69) and Kamehameha – Kapalama (76). Still, no team was able to set itself apart from the others, and runners from the various schools were mixed in the final standings.

The list of entrants for the 2011 Honolulu Marathon/Kaiser High School Cross Country Invitational has been released by race timer Pacific Sports Events and Timing.

  Kualoa Ranch, Ka’a’awa Valley, Oahu (9/17/2011) - Hawaii’s Punahou Girls outran six of seven mainland teams to the finish line in the Girls Varsity race at Saturday’s I’olani Invitational - in one the most competitive cross country invitational races held in Hawaii this year.  Only nationally ranked Dana Hills (Dana Point, CA) bested the Buff-n-Blue after an impressive display of team running by both schools.

KEAAU – Some of the best girls cross country runners in the state and in the nation laced up their shoes and participated in the three mile Kamehameha Invitational meet this past Saturday.   Anna Maxwell, ranked 18th in the nation by Mile Split (http://www.milesplit.com), ran away with the race in a blistering time of 17 minutes and 54 seconds.

Big events happening across the country as the season gets into full swing!

Waimea –   Neither the wind, nor rain could deter St. Joseph’s Andrew Langtry and Hawaii Preparatory Academy’s Kristiana Van Pernis from winning a Big Island Interscholastic Federation cross country meet this past Saturday on Ka Makani’s home course.

  OLINDA - Rocky Balala and Dakota Grossman both improved to 2-0 on the season with wins at Maui Interscholastic League cross-country meet No. 2 on Saturday at Seabury Hall.   Grossman, the defending state and MIL champion, won the girls race in a time of 18 minutes, 47 seconds, beating out Spartans teammate Kiana Smith (20:22).

Waipio Peninsula, Oahu - The Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) began its 2011 Cross Country season at Waipio Peninsula Soccer Park Saturday.  Course conditions were difficult with the heat and strong trade winds for the non-timed and non-scored practice meet.  This year’s first meet introduced minor changes as the traditional Open 2-mile and Varsity 3-mile format gave way to 3-mile JV and Varsity races.

  KEAAU- Waiakea Warrior pairs took center stage on the opening day of the Big Island Interscholastic Federation cross country season on the campus of Christian Liberty Academy.   “This is the sixth year that we’ve hosted the BIIF season opener with the Canefire Conditioner,” CLA Coach Frank Grotenhuis said.   Grotenhuis format requires schools to pair their runners, with each doing three alternating one mile legs.

  PUKALANI - Dakota Grossman has picked up right where she left off.   The defending state champion from Seabury Hall dominated the field at the first Maui Interscholastic League cross country meet of the season Saturday, winning by more than two minutes on the Kamehameha Schools Maui course.

The series continues with Hawaii.  Photo above Elli Brady (Punahou).

KEAAU – Konawaena’s Emalia Galdeira and Ua Ruedy wreaked havoc on the track to lead the lady Wildcats in team scoring this past Saturday during a Big Island Interscholastic Federation track & field meet held at the Cougar track.

 WAILUKU - If the 58th annual Satoki Yamamoto Invitational did anything, it showed that the Baldwin High School boys and the Seabury Hall girls are the teams to beat in the Maui Interscholastic League.

Kaua‘i Interscholastic Federation track and field student athletes broke into the state No. 1 rankings at the qualifying track meet, Thursday at Vidinha Stadium.
