Nakoa and Edwards Shine In HHSAA Track & Field


It was a shining HHSAA meet for BIIF Track & Field qualifiers this past 2009 HHSAA Championships. Ku’uipo Nakoa and Jacob Edwards captured gold for their schools and the BIIF.

The BIIF captured over 34 individual and team medals (1st-6th place). Nakoa captured the Girls Long Jump gold, while Edwards won two golds in the Boys 110 & 300 Hurdle Events. With Nakoa and Edwards returning next year, the future looks bright for the BIIF. Having a familiar bed to rest and home cooked meals always is an advantage as most BIIF track and field athletes found out.

It is always harder to win an HHSAA event on the road. Nakoa and Edwards are multi sport talented athletes, Nakoa also participates in soccer for HPA and Edwards has participated for the Ka’u football team. Also both have entered several events including the triple jump, and sprinting events. Let us congratulate all the BIIF Track and Field Athletes for their tremendous efforts and accomplishments.
