Kamehameha Schools Maui Track and Field Meet 3/01/2014

KS Maui Track & Field 3-01-2014

Sorry about the poor quality videos. I was at the tournament to support my daughter, and I never intended to shoot any videos, just a few photos with my iPhone. The battery started to run low on the phone, so I switched to my Kindle Fire tablet, not really knowing how to use it.  In any case, I was able to capture my daughter losing her shoe in the 100m dash. Haha!

Maui’s Youth Paddlers Strike Gold, Bring Home State Title and Division A Championship

Maui has exerted its dominance once again by winning the Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association State-Championship regatta at Hanalei Bay on the strength of its ʻŌpio or youth paddlers.

Hawaiian Canoe Club won nine races, seven in the keiki division, and finished with 351 points for its 11th Large-Club State Title in the last 15 years.

Nā ʻŌpio took gold in the girls 12, 13, 14, 16 and 18 age brackets, while the boys struck twice in the 15 and 16 races.

Hawaiian Canoe Club’s keiki coach Paul Luuwai was obviously quite pleased with the results.

“They took seven gold medals. Some clubs don’t get seven in the entire regatta. I’m really proud of them.”

“After seeing all those crews win golds it was like, ‘If they can do it, we can do it,’ ” said Tianna Yonemura, who helped the girls 16 and 18 crews win gold.12 Girls 2013 State Champs

Hawaiian had nine other paddlers on a pair of championship crews – Kalena Vaivai, Mikaela McDaniel, Kamaile Lee, Palekana Pamat-Hett, Kaysha Terry-AhKui, Kaya Given-sel, Taysia Pimentel, Hiilei Luuwai and Kahili Novikoff.

The youth crew of Victoria Decoite-Wilsey, Keala Cabanilla, Kauanoe Keahi, Kaleo Nuesca, Aukai Kama and Ikaika Viela took the Mixed 12 Title for Napili Canoe Club.

“They worked hard and deserved everything they got,”

Napili coach Joey Tihada said of his club.

She is Maui’s first female soccer player to be invited to train with the U14 United States Women’s National Soccer Team.

Ilihia Keawekane, a 13-year-old midfielder with Pono Soccer Club, was selected to the U14 Youth National Team after impressing coaches at the Hawaii Olympic Development Program Sub-Regional Event on Oahu, March 27-31.

“It’s an honor to have this opportunity,” said Ilihia, daughter of Amos and Mitzie Keawekane. “I’m very proud of myself. It took a lot of hard work and I thank my coaches, my family, and my teammates, for supporting me and helping me.”

Kewaekane’s one-week journey begins on Mother’s Day, May 12. The Kamehameha 7th-grader will join 47 of the nation’s best female soccer players in her age group at the University of Portland in Oregon. By the time the camp ends on May 19, Keawekane must prove to head coach April Kater that she is worthy of one of 36 roster spots on the U14 US Women’s Youth National Soccer Team.

“One of my goals was to get to the highest level. I didn’t know there was such a thing as a national team, so my goal was to make the regional team, but now that I am here, my goal is to make the national team and stay there.”

If Keawekane is chosen, she will attend two additional training camps, from Sept. 14-21 and Dec. 8-15, with a squad that will represent the US on the international stage. All travel expenses and accommodations are being paid for by US Soccer.

“Ilihia has the raw talent. She’s strong, she’s fast, she has a solid kick, she’s tenacious,” said ’00 Pono SC’s BJ Medeiros, who has coached Keawekane the last five years. “With that and the teammates she is constantly around who are just as competitive and always pushing each other, she’s ready.

“This is the result of the progress these girls are making together. They can look back and see we have a teammate who has made it to a national camp and their hopes and dreams are the same. She is the first one and I’m sure she won’t be the last from our club and maybe more Hawaii kids will follow.”

Keawekane credits her teammates and coaches for their help and support.

“Leialoha (Medeiros) inspires me because she’s one of the best soccer players in Hawaii. She pushes me to get better and that makes me stronger, faster and more skillful.”

In preparation for the camp, Keawekane continues to train with Coach Medeiros and ’00 Pono twice a week. She gets additional training 2-3 times a week with Valley Isle Soccer Academy coaches Aleks Filipović and Rebecca Filipović for individual training and tactical film sessions.

Keawekane said she has been working with “Coach Aleks and Coach Rebecca for the last three years.”

She also attends speed and agility training with David Kamalani from GetFast. “I want to play Division I soccer, that’s my goal.”

Both Filipovićs are state coaches for the Olympic Development Program and worked with the regional staff in March to identify and recommend players, including Ilihia, for selection to the next level.

“Coaches may offer knowledge, but at the end of the day, it is what a player chooses to do with that information that determines his or her success,” said Aleksandar Filipović, Director of Coaching at VIS Academy. “For Ilihia, all credit most importantly goes to her and her family. Credit must also go to Coach BJ for his unrelenting commitment to the ’00 Pono Team, and for always welcoming other opportunities for his players’ development.”

“She’s definitely one of the leaders and captains of our team,” Medeiros said. “She’s also one of the original girls who started with us about seven years ago. . . . But in the past two years a lot of our girls, who are now 13-years old, have made big strides. And the main reason for that is because they have stayed together as a core group.

“They are very competitive and constantly challenging each other. We travel twice a year to the mainland and we go to Oahu three to four times a year. We play in all the Maui tournaments. But in order to get the competitive edge that we are talking about you have to go to Oahu and to the mainland.

“Club soccer is the way to go now and boys and girls growing up are enjoying the rewards of playing soccer at an early age. I think players like Nicole Garbin (formerly of Baldwin High and University of Oregon) have definitely paved the way for these younger players. I think we will see a lot more Division I college players coming out of Hawaii — both boys and girls.”

Lahainaluna High School’s Bubba and Carly Jaramillo became the first brother and sister from the Maui Interscholastic League to win state wrestling titles Saturday at the Neal Blaisdell Arena on Oahu.

The duo and freshman Lalelei Mataafa gave the Lunas three state titles — the school’s 21st, 22nd and 23rd — in the sport of wrestling since it was introduced in 1966.

Bubba Jaramillo manhandled Moanalua’s Nakoa Chun 11-2 in the boys 140-pound final and younger sister Carly, or Kapu to her teammates and friends, pinned defending champion Shannon Paaaina of Mid-Pacific in the 135-pound final with four seconds remaining in the match.

Mataafa, the younger sister of two-time silver medalist Hercules Mataafa at 215, won the girls 220 championship by pinning Kaydie Lynn Tehotu of McKinley in 1 minute, 33 seconds.

Collectively, the Jaramillios and Mataafa went 75-0 in 2013. Bubba finished with an impressive 38-0 mark, Kapu was 23-0 and Mataafa 14-0.

Lahainaluna placed third in both the boys and girls team standings.

Pearl City nudged Kamehameha Kapalama for the girls championship, 158 to 151.5. The Lunas was next at 141, followed by Molokai with 91 and Baldwin with 53.

Bubba Jaramillo rolled over Chun, building a 6-2 advantage going into the third round.

Kapu Jaramillo trailed early in the second round 1-0 and went ahead 2-1 on a takedown with 37 seconds left in the second round. She added a two-point reversal before pinning Paaaina.

The third Jaramillo, Precious, finished third at 121 for the second straight year.

Lalelei Mataafa is no stranger to the big stage, having competed on the national level in the NFL’s Punt, Pass, Kick competition four times, including a national title in 2008.

Keeping it all in the family, Hercules Mataafa lost 8-2 in the boys 215 final to Kamehameha Kapalama’s Dane Pestano, who beat him 5-3 in 2012.

“The HSC Bulls beat us in overtime 4-3 back in February at the President’s Day Cup, so it was a huge accomplishment to come back and beat them at their own tournament,” said Maui United coaching director Brent Nunes.

“It just goes to show that our program is working and all their hard work has really paid off. I’m so proud of these boys and see great things in their future.”

The Maui United roster comprised Gabriel Andrion, Aikala Chappell, Eric Doolin, Henry Johnston, Luke Kawabe, Kanoa Kelii, Kobi-Ryne Kuge, Raul Lopez, Tomas Martinez, Cade Mattos, Samuel Ostermiller, Isaiah Souza and Elliot Tom. The coaches were Chuck and Blake Nunes.
