KEAAU – With a one gold and one silver already in hand and the day winding down, it would have been understandable if Konawaena’s Reyson Ching was a little low on energy for the first heat of the 200-meter dash.
Quite the opposite, actually. Ching ran like he was just getting started.
Friday’s second 200 featured the Wildcats’ Hauoli Akau, who had every right to take it a little easy after pocketing a threepeat in the triple jump.
Instead, Akau pulled through to win his heat with a little extra juice, qualifying second only to Ching.
