'Rebuilding' Trojans still hard to beat on the track

Advertiser Staff

Mililani High appears intent on sending Shane Akamine, its track and field coach the last 17 years, into retirement in a blaze of championships.

The Trojans served notice on the rest of the O'ahu Interscholastic Association and the state Saturday night when they more than doubled the points of the second-place teams in the Western Division championships at Mililani High.

Mililani's boys scored 95 points to 43 for runner-up Wai'anae. The Mililani girls nearly tripled second-place Pearl City, 109-42.

It was Mililani's 16th Western Division girls championship in 17 years under Akamine and its third straight boys title.

The Trojans have won the past three OIA girls titles and five altogether and the past two OIA boys titles. Akamine has announced this will be his final season.

He said Saturday's romp was unexpected. "We're rebuilding," he said. "We lost a lot of seniors last year but the new kids are coming along real well."

He sees Kahuku as the girls favorite in the league championship meet Saturday at Mililani. "Kahuku is very strong, with the Kai sisters (Natasha and Krisha). "We don't have real good balance."

The only record of the OIA West meet was set by a Mililani athlete, albeit a transfer from Wai'anae. William Broadus Jr. high jumped 6 feet, 6 inches to erase the Western Division record of 6-5 set by Bruce Taylor of Radford in 1995.

Team scores were omitted from results published yesterday.
