Waiakea has three Fab Freshmen in Keilyn Kunimoto, Anna Oda, and Maile Brilhante — all among the top 10 in the Hawaii Pacific section of the United State Tennis Association’s girls 16 singles rankings.
Kunimoto is No. 2, Oda at No. 4, and Brilhante at No. 5. The freshmen are playing above their age against the state’s best during the offseason USTA circuit and thriving in BIIF competition as well.
The next highest BIIF player is Kealakehe junior Sara Tsukamoto at 11th. She’s the sister of 2010 Kealakehe graduate Sayo Tsukamoto, who won four BIIF singles championships and the HHSAA state title as a senior.
