KEAAU – Konawaena’s boys visited the podium in bunches for two days running, the final time coming after a victory in the 1,600-meter relay that provided an exclamation point to what was a runaway verdict.
Officially, the Wildcats were BIIF track and field championships.
As they celebrated, fittingly, it began to rain.
Officially, the title drought was over.
Konawaena entered with myriad scores to settle, and it finished its business swiftly and powerfully.
“Finally,” junior Hauoli Akau said. “Finally.”
Tired of finishing second to Waiakea, once in track and twice in basketball, Akau medaled in all six of his events, more often than not finishing first.
