The Big Island Interscholatic Federation Track and Field Championship is getting closer and closer. This means that the contenders are beginning to emerge in all events.

Obviously, there were some familiar faces who made an impact at this season’s last meet. It was held Saturday at Stanford W. Shutes Track.

Kamehameha’s Kahiau Poe won the 100-meter sprint (11.53 seconds), and the long jump (20’6.25″). Waiakea’s Kederang Ueda ran the 1,500-meter run in 4:21.74, a season best, to win the event for the fifth consecutive week.

A quartet of girls won multiple medals. Layla Grace, of Kealakehe, in the 100-meter run (13.47 secs) and the long jump (15’6.25″), Cozette in 1,500 (5:23.90), and 3,000-meter (11.46.33), runs. Jordan Perry, HPA, in the 200 (27.27 secs) and 400-meter (1.01.47) dashes, Elaina Head in the high jump (4’9″), and triple (31′.7″) jumps.

The Waiakea boys, and Hawaii Prep girls were the leaders of the pack. They each placed in the top three 13 times.

Next week, the Big Island’s track and cross athletes will be back on the field when they return to Keaau high school.
