Dragons/Ka Makani favored to win BIIF X-C Championships
Hawaii Prep girls are heavy favorites to repeat as BIIF champs
Looking to see some of the best prep runners on the Big Island? Then head out to the north end of the island and the home of the Dragons and Ka Makani.
The Honokaa boys are the two time Big Island Interscholastic Federation team champions and two of their boys will be vying for top individual honors this Saturday when Kamehameha plays host to the league championships.
Dragons Chris Mosch and Joshua Robinson have shared top honors in every BIIF race that they have entered during the regular season.
Robinson has dominated in the hilly courses at Kealakehe and Hawaii Prep, while teammate Mosch has won at Kohala and the two previous meets held at Kamehameha.
- Chris Mosch
Going into the BIIF championships the Dragon boys are the clear favorites to three peat for the title while Mosch gets the slight edge to claim his first individual title.
“I’m going to run my own race at the BIIF championships no matter what and regardless of others expectations,” Mosch said.
Much of the Dragon success comes from their work ethic and dedication to the sport, along with some natural harrier talent.
“We work very hard and everyone on the team gets very involved in their training,” Mosch said of Honokaa’s success in running.
While the Dragon boys have the fast track on winning the team title Mosch will need to go out hard and maintain the pace to come away with the individual crown.
“I think that Dylan (Hardie-Jordan), Tyler (Tsubota), Daniel (Brooks), Josh (Robinson) and I all have a good shot at winning. Anything can happen and I wouldn’t count anyone out,” Mosch said.
In the last regular season race it was HPA’s Tyler Tsubota taking second to Mosch with a 16 second gap, with Makua Lani’s Dylan Hardie-Jordan a half-step behind to claim third.
Keaau’s Daniel Brooks, who does double duty as a Cougar harrier and wide receiver on the football team, finished second to Mosch at the first Kamehameha meet staying within nine seconds of the Dragon.
Brooks won both East Division meets at Waiakea while Mosch and Robinson were winning the West Division.
For the girl’s team title perennial champions HPA has the inside track. Led by Kela Vargas the lady Ka Makani have a host of talented runners, that include freshmen Zoe Sims and Emily Evans, and are capable of placing all seven varsity runners in the BIIF top 20.
“Going into the finals I’m telling my runners what I’ve told them all season, have fun as a team and inspire each other to run fast,” HPA coach Michael Franklin said.
Franklin is in his fourth season as Ka Makani girls head coach and has won two BIIF titles during the past three years.
“Honokaa, Waiakea and Hilo are all very strong teams,” Franklin said. “Honokaa and Waiakea have great individuals and Hilo is deep, has good coaching and always seems to peak at just the right time.”
Honokaa’s junior, Tialana Greenwell, will be gunning for her third consecutive individual BIIF crown. Greenwell, who placed second in the state last year, continues to be undefeated in Big Island competition dating back to her freshman year.
Dragon teammate, Athena Oldfather, could give Honokaa a one-two punch, but Oldfather will be challenged by Vargas, along with Waiakea harriers Kaitlyn Chock and Kelsie Kobayashi.
Makua Lani’s Grace Choe, Hilo’s Shalila de Bourmont and Kamehameha’s Bronte Kaneakua all have the experience and talent to finish in the top five on Saturday.
With the top three boy’s teams and top three girls teams advancing to the state championships on Kauai on October 31 the boy’s and girl’s teams with the advantage going into the BIIF finale are Honokaa, HPA and Hilo.
Outside teams with a shot of making the top three are the Makua Lani, Kamehameha and Waiakea for the girls, along with the Keaau, Christian Liberty and Makua Lani for the boys.
For those teams that don’t advance the league will select the top 16 boys and top 17 girls for participation at the state championships.
“The whole league (BIIF) feels stronger this year and one of the great things about this sport is that on any given day, anything could happen. But, I’m not really thinking about other teams at this point because we are just focused on running our best race,” Franklin said.
BIIF Regular Season Ends as Runners Begin to Peak
BIIF Championships on Oct 24
The Big Island Interscholastic Federation cross country regular season ended on Saturday with an all-schools meet held at Kamehameha’s Keaau Campus.
Honokaa’s Tia Greenwell and Chris Mosch captured individual honors with the Dragons winning the boys team scoring and Hawaii Preparatory Academy taking the girls team title.
In the girls race it was all Greenwell, from start to finish, as the junior and two time defending BIIF individual champion finished the regular season undefeated in island competition. Greenwell’s winning time was 20 minutes and 50 seconds which was 51 seconds slower than her desired goal of breaking the 20 minute barrier.
- Athena Oldfather
Dragon teammate, Athena Oldfather, tried to stay close to Greenwell and found herself finishing in second place 11 seconds behind.
“I, along with half our team, took the SAT’s today and I was mentally drained coming into this race,” Oldfather said.
Oldfather credited Makua Lani’s Grace Choe for her strong finish. “I thought Grace (Choe) ran a very good race as she helped pace me for the first half of the race,” Oldfather said.
“I didn’t have any goals or race plan coming into today. I just wanted to run and never gave it much thought. I’m really proud of how our ` team did today,” Oldfather said.
- Kela Vargas
Despite having the first two runners cross the finish line ahead of the rest of the field it was HPA, led by Kela Vargas, that won top team honors.
“Our team is right where they should be at this point of the season,” HPA coach, Michael Franklin said. “My two freshmen, Zoe Sims and Emily Evans, really surprised me as they finished 4th and 5th overall.”
Franklin gave much of the credit to junior, Kela Vargas, in helping get his freshmen into the top five. “Kela is an experienced runner, strong and consistent, and she paced our two freshmen,” he said.
“(Vargas) is brilliant at pacing and she is teaching our two younger, more inexperienced runners who have great potential, how to run better,” Franklin said.
“I was in 6th or 7th place running with Kelsie (Kobayashi from Waiakea), Grace (Choe) and Bronte (Kaneakua from Kamehameha) during the first half of the race,” Vargas said.
“When we approached the two mile marker I separated from the pack and moved into third place. I felt like I was gaining on Athena (Oldfather) at the end of the race, but I just couldn’t catch up to her,” Vargas said.
This was the second week in a row that Vargas finished third and she was pleased with the result. “It feels really good to be third and I’m happy where I’m at,” she said.
For the boys it was pack of five runners that were glued together going into the second half of the three mile race.
“I ran relaxed for the first mile, aggressive the second mile and I left it all out there on the third mile,” Chris Mosch said of his winning time of 17 minutes flat.
Mosch was in a pack at the half way point which included Keaau’s Daniel Brooks, HPA’s Tyler Tsubota, Makua Lani’s Dylan Hardie-Jordan and Hilo’s Tyde Kaneshiro.
“Any one of those guys in the lead pack can win this race on any given day,” Mosch said. “It will come down to who is the best prepared for the BIIF championships.”
Mosch has won both all-schools meets at Kamehameha this season (Kamehameha will host the BIIF championships on October 24) and sets himself up as the man to beat going into the finals.
“I feel real confident and I’m fine with being the guy to beat at BIIF’s,” Mosch said. “The BIIF championships should definitely be a good race and a lot of who will win that race has to do with who is the best prepared.”
In getting ready for the championships Honokaa has brought their runners to practice on the Kamehameha course four times during the past week. “It really helped me to train on this course during the week,” Mosch said. “I learned where all the mile markers are located and what to expect while running this course. It was a big advantage for us to train here.”
- Tyler Tsubota
Rising star, Tyler Tsubota of HPA, has been making steady improvement throughout the season and has positioned himself to make a run at the boy’s individual crown.
“I was playing soccer during the summer and never came into the season with my cross country conditioning,” Tsubota said. “Things are all starting to fall into place now and I’m happy where I am at going into the championships.”
Tsubota was trailing Makua Lani’s Hardie-Jordan with about 100 yards to the finish when he turned on an awesome kick to catch Hardie-Jordan in the final 20 yards and nip him at the finish line to claim second overall in a time of 17:16.
“Dylan (Hardie-Jordan) is my friend and we play soccer together, so I really wanted to beat him,” Tsubota said.
“I think I have a good start and a good finish during my races and I’ve made it my goal to finish in the top 10 at states this year,” he said.
The BIIF will hold the island cross-country championships on Saturday, October 24 at Kamehameha with the top three teams for both the boys and girls advancing to the HHSAA championships on October 31 at Kauai.
Beyond the top three teams the top 16 boys and top 17 girls will also advance to the state championships.
