Mililani boys, girls win OIA West track titles

By Michael Tsai
Advertiser Staff Writer

Undermanned and facing its stiffest competition in years, the Mililani varsity boys track and field team sped forward undaunted to capture the Oahu Interscholastic League Western Division Championship tonight on its home field.

The Trojan' varsity girls team had an easier title defense, dominating the competition to finish with 178 total points. Kapolei finished a distant second with 63, followed by Waipahu with 58.

In junior varsity competition, Radford took top honors in both boys and girls divisions.

"It's funny how things happen," said Mililani first-year boy's head coach Marshall Ochi. "I don't know where we squeaked out those points, but we pulled it out."

As expected, the Mililani boys (120 total points) faced stiff competition from Leilehua (96) and Radford (77.5).
