The comparisons to last year are inevitable.
Hawaii Prep hardly boasted the largest roster, but using a star performance (Emma Taylor), one extra gold and just enough of a supporting cast, Ka Makani was able to eke out an HHSAA track and field championhip by two points.

“We’re are going to make a push,” Warriors coach Manly Kanoa said. “We’re going to make a run.”
The Warriors arguably enter Day 1 of the HHSAA track and field championships at Keaau High in better shape to contend for a title than HPA did in 2016, though that assumes Saydee Aganus is ready to take over where Taylor, now at Boston College, left off.
