Maybe the heat got to Sophia Cash’s head and she forgot which race this was.
Or perhaps the Honokaa High running “program” is ahead of schedule this time.
Whatever the case, Cash will not be sneaking up on anybody at the BIIF cross-country championships this season – she’s effectively spoiled any chance she has at playing spoiler again.
There were 85 girls finishers Saturday amid steamy conditions for a 5K at Waiakea, and from start to finish Cash – with a cold, no less – ran with far more zip than anyone else, pocketing her first regular-season victory.
