• Moenoa to attend leadership conference: University of Hawai'i football player Uriah Moenoa has been invited to participate in the sixth NCAA foundation Leadership Conference.
Moenoa, a starting right tackle from Iolani School, leaves Saturday for the week-long conference at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex and the Coronado Springs Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
Moenoa was among 282 NCAA student-athletes selected from 1,183 nominees. Moenoa, a psychology major, wrote an essay on his life. He was the only UH student-athlete selected.
"I was surprised," Moenoa said of the invitation. "I thought it was a joke. I'm still kind of shocked."
Mike Cavanaugh, who coaches the UH offensive linemen, said: "I think it's a great opportunity. He could be a great leader if he wanted."
