Louie Ondo looks like a cross-country runner. The Waiakea senior is 5 feet 4, slender and has fairly long legs for his height.
He’s got pretty good endurance, too. Ondo had more in his gas tank after he won a BIIF boys meet on a scorching Saturday at the Kamehameha campus.
Ondo covered the three-mile course in 16 minutes and 46 seconds to run away from Hilo’s River Brown (16:58) and Konawaena’s Cody Ranfranz (17:00) to claim his second straight race.
At the BIIF season-opener at hilly Hawaii Prep, Ondo won in 18:08, a whopping 30 seconds ahead of runner-up Ranfranz.
