Hawaii

[SpeedKILLS]

Is there anyone on here from hawaii? Im from wisconsin, but just wondering....

[xcworldchamp]

hawaii doesnt actually exist, its a rfigment of your imagination

[wannabpre]

i ran in hawaii while i was there, it was pretty tough...i didnt see any other high school runners

[RunningHI]

haha..im from hawaii..maybe im the only one..haha

[Sum_Bum]

Given that information your name is funny. It's not even midnight (currently) where you are...no fair.

[RunningHI]

thanks..haha..i dont think many of us from hawaii come on dyestat..a lot of us have..umm..other things to do..haha..and i guess we dont have enough elite athletes here to care about dyestat..haha

[Sum_Bum]

Do you have any?

[RunningHI]

hmm..bryan clay?..haha..guess thats it..he was on the front page of the newspaper yesterday...when he won gold at WC's....in the article next to him they had a picture of Tim Chang, who used to play football for university of Hawaii, and how he was cut by the Arizona Cards...haha

[808runnah]

[RunningHI]

[atlantisharrier]

[808runnah]

[manmanmanman]

[RunningHI]

[Matt]

I wish we ran in Hawaii, much better than wisconsin

[G5_King]

:D Im from aus and when i went to Hawaii i went to one of the nike stores. I asked to see there range of spikes and they said they didnt have any . They told me they have to get shipped in from the mainland.Seriously dissapionted, because i know the us have a really good range of shoes!

[SGLT]

my team and i ran there. we're from california and it was SO humid! and the course itself wasnt that hrad.. but i think that the fact that it was so humid that made it all the more harder. but it was a great race AND trip. i loved it there.

and just in case anyone cared. i got 2nd for the girls varsity race and my team got third overall (Vista, CA). fun stuff.

[MaroonCat1600]

I'll ask this again, is there one school district in hawaii?

[RunningHI]

oh no..theres a couple...the KIF Kauai Interscholastic Federation, which has the island of Kauai and a couple schools from the really small islands close by. Theres the Maui Interscholastic League which is Maui and Lana'i, i think. The Big Island Interscholastic Federation for the Big Island. The island of Oahu has two divisions. The OIA, which is Public Schools, Oahu Interscholastic Association. And finally the ILH, which is Private Schools, Interscholastic League of Honolulu. Thats pretty much it..haha

[seasiderxc]

i run in hawaii, i love it! but what do you think about the 3 hurricanes that are coming? i think our home course is going to get washed away!

[RunningHI]

haha...it shouldnt be that bad..supposedly majority of them are going to die down soon..or just miss the islands

[seasiderxc]

i built a raft out of palm trees just in case. who is the best high school xc team? i see this sprinter from kahuku hs doing workouts all the time, is there a good guy from there?

[RunningHI]

well...i run for kamehameha...we're pretty good..we usually get beat in the early meets..and come around in november..we won states last year and all except one of our runners returned...iolani usually gives us a run at the team title..but we'll see how things turn out

[seasiderxc]

when and where do you race kahuku?

[RunningHI]

i think we might race kahuku on saturday..its an oia invitational..so they'll probably be there

[808runnah]

we are going to kick kahukus A$$ tomorrow, unfortunately i gotta run jv tomorrow kause my f'in ankle is sprained but nah idk i hope we get atleast second, oh i run for Kamehameha.......XC dynasty wut are we like 7 for 8 in winning state championships, not quite shure

[seasiderxc]

[QUOTE=808runnah]we are going to kick kahukus A$$ tomorrow,


did you end up winning?

[RunningHI]

not quite..haha..we got 2nd to iolani again

[toasty]

Hawaii XC is kind of broken... Kamehameha won 7 of the last 8, and no public school has won since 1982. Hard to imagine things being any different this year, but good luck to all the competitors nonetheless, one of these days things will get shaken up. :rolleyes:

This year's big question is, will Lauren Ho make nationals this year after finishing 9th at FLWest last year?

[RunningHI]

well she competed on saturday..and smoked the competition...she was injured with ruptured disks i think the past couple weeks

[MaroonCat1600]

This year's big question is, will Lauren Ho make nationals this year after finishing 9th at FLWest last year?

that must suck having to take a plane ride to race agaist any kind of competition

[sonomaca]

She's got to sit for 6 hours in a plane. That's going to be the tough on her back.

[sonomaca]

Lauren Ho won state title again today in 18:11, a nearly 30 second margin over 2nd. On boys side, Jeremy Kamaka'ala won for 2nd time in 3 years (lost by less than a second last year) in a breakout time of 15:22.

Lauren, who experienced back problems earlier in the year, has been working toward the FL west regional (where she finished one spot out of the money last year). It's going to be tough this year, however. West region is absolutely brutal with Lawrence, Hasay, O'Reilly, Blue, Murphy, Tarver, etc...

I think her best shot to qualify for final would be to hang back, let the young guns flame themselves out, and then make a late charge.

As for Jeremy, if he goes he'll have to improve by another 30 to 45 seconds to have any shot.

[RunningHI]

jeremy had a nice run today..he took down Todd Iacovelli's course record by 22 second. Not bad.

Here are some photos.
