KEAAU – Hawaii Prep’s Kaui Taylor not only reached rarefied air on the Big Island, she jumped high enough to set her sights on one of state’s most well-known female athletes.
Taylor set a BIIF championship record Friday in the high jump, leaping 5 feet, 5 1/2 inches, one of three marks to fall at the league’s track and field preliminaries at Kamehameha.
“It’s incredible. That’s high,” Taylor said, “I’m happy, but I’m not satisfied. I’m not done yet.”
A pair of gold medals were handed out ahead of Saturday’s championships.
