Should Mililani freshman track sensation Kristin Ali Keith ever want to get a jump on that criminal justice career of hers (she's a big "CSI" buff), she'd get no better practicum than investigating the strange goings-on at yesterday's Oahu Interscholastic Association Varsity Track Championships at the Mililani High School track.

Finding out which team holds a monopoly over the championship is easy enough. Just look at the usual suspect, Mililani, which cruised to victory in both the girls and boys divisions yesterday.

The boys accumulated 102.33 points, more than the second-place (Leilehua at 40.33) and third-place (Kaiser, 40) teams combined. The girls finished with 120 points to beat out Kahuku (78) and Radford (47.5).

But other questions remain.

For starters, who shot Mililani senior Britney Stephens out of that cannon on the final stretch of the girls 4x400-meter relay to give Mililani a 3-second victory over Kapolei?

Running the anchor leg of the relay, Stephens trailed Kapolei's Dana Tamayo by 2 seconds on the first 200-meter straight-away then rocketed out of the turn and flew by Tamayo in the final stretch for a 4:08.73 tam finish.

"When she came out of the turn, I just thought, 'I hope she catches that girl,' " said Mililani junior Ciara Quarles, who ran the first leg of the relay.

"I knew she'd do it," said senior Brook Brown. "She's Britney."

Freshman Laura Bunner agreed.

"She's insane," Brunner said.

Stephens herself rejected the insanity plea.

"I was just trying as hard as I could," Stephens said. "I figured this was my last race on my track and I gave it everything I had."

Fine, but who hid Bryce Jenkins' watch yesterday morning? Without it, the Leilehua sophomore said he had no choice but to push the pace all the way to a new OIA championships record (9 minutes, 21.59 seconds) in the boys 300-meter relay.

Alas, this too is easily solved.

"I just forgot it," Jenkins said. "I honestly had no idea (about the record pace), I just ran as hard as I could. If I had my watch and I knew how fast I was going, I might have slowed down and that would have killed me."

While we're at it, who told Leilehua sophomore Josh Bay he could channel Steve Prefontaine — in looks and kick — in the boys 800-meter run?

The long-locked Bay trailed Mililani senior Nick Ogata for the first 600 meters before launching into a furious sprint to the finish.

"Going up against juniors and seniors is intimidating, but when the race started I felt I was ready to take first place," Bay said.

Ogata said he wanted to respond to Bay's challenge but couldn't get his legs to respond. Dehydrated by the hot, humid conditions at the track, Ogata said his legs cramped and buckled down the stretch.

Another mystery for Keith to investigate? If only she had the time.

The precocious frosh turned in another dominant performance in the girls 3,000-meter run, finishing in 11:15.7 to beat Pearl City's Dayna Domingo (11:39.47) and Kahuku's Keilani Wasson (11:43.05). Keith also placed fifth in the girls 1,500-meter run, which was won by Savannah Lowrie (5:12.27) of Leilehua.

Mililani also got predictably strong performances from senior D'Andre Benjamin, who placed first in the boys 110-meter hurdles (15.61) and boys 300-meter hurdles (39.93) and ran the third leg in Mililani's first-place squad in the boys 4x400-meter relay (3:31.55).

Mililani coach Marshall Ochi said he was happy that his teams were able to follow up their strong performance on Thursday with another convincing win.

"I couldn't have asked for a better two meets leading up to States," Ochi said. "It's a special thing. It reflects on the kind of athletes we have here."
