KEAAU – The plan, Kamehameha coach Manly Kanoa thought back in March, was to utilize Saydee Aganus as much as possible, work in promising freshman Chenoa Frederick to a thin roster and build depth during the season by recruiting kids to track and field.
That, Kanoa figured, was the key to winning a championship.
“But nobody came out,” Kanoa said. “We had to ride our horses.”
No need for strength in numbers when you have a couple of thoroughbreds.
No challenge was too strong for Aganus or Frederick to handle at Saturday’s BIIF track and field championships, and they took the Warriors on a winning ride at Keaau High, each pocketing three individual golds and a silver along with a relay gold.
