KEAAU-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.
Each pair completed a total of six miles with each runner doing three miles. Canefire officials took the top four scoring pairs from each school to calculate who won the team title.
“Each year we’ve hosted the race the course has been changed slightly to accomadate our growing campus,” Grotenhuis said.
