Advertiser Staff

Konawaena's Nicholas Berry and Hilo's Jonathan Peralto ran state best times and Hilo's boys and Hawai'i Prep's girls took home team trophies from the Big Island Interscholastic Federation track and field championships Saturday on Konawaena High's year-old all-weather track.

Berry, for whom a lucrative college scholarship is riding on his performances in this weekend's state championships on Maui, was timed in 14.80 seconds for the 110-meter high hurdles and 38.81 for the 300 intermediate hurdles.

In a stirring boys 400, Peralto nosed Andre Nacaxe of St. Joseph by 3/100ths of a second in 48.74. Peralto's time is 8/100ths of a second off the state meet record.

In the girls 800, Cobey Ackerman of Hawai'i Prep, who had qualified in 2:23.07, won in 2:27.95. Nicolette Rowe of Hilo won the pole vault at a state season-best 10 feet.

Hilo outdistanced Hawai'i Prep in boys' scoring, 81 to 50 1/2, and HPA ran away from second-place Hilo in girls' scoring, 99-71.

Trials for the state meet will be at 7 p.m. Friday at Maui War Memorial Stadium. Field event finals will start at 2 p.m. Saturday with running finals beginning at 5:40 p.m.
