KEAAU — Death, taxes, Emma Taylor and Louie Ondo — and not necessarily in that order.
The BIIF’s untouchables paved the way for their teams’ title repeats Saturday, with Hawaii Prep’s Taylor and Waiakea’s Ondo each grabbing three golds as records fell early and often at the BIIF track and field championships at Kamehameha’s Paiea Stadium.
It ended, fittingly, with each senior wearing crowns as male and female athlete of the meet, and Ondo, the long-distance runner, bowing down to Taylor, the hurdler.
“She’s excellent,” Ondo said.
Taylor was responsible for two of the seven championship records that were set during the two-day meet.
