Big Dog’s Top picks for BIIF cross country chamionships
This is a no brainer in BIIF cross country as HPA girls go for their fourth straight title and 34th team title in 38 years.
Also, look for four or five of Lady Ka Makani to stand upon the medal list to make all BIIF first team selections.
Hilo’s Carmen Garson-Shumway and Waiakea’s Kelsie Kobayashi could break up HPA runners from making a perfect score.
HPA girls were #2 in the state last year, and coach Michael Franklin says that this years team is even better than last years team, so look for Ka Makani to challenge Punahou and Seabury Hall for the HHSAA state title.
Boys team title will be between Waiakea and Honokaa as both schools have the depth and fire power. Honokaa has the experience of being in the winners circle with four consecutive team titles under their belts, so lets see how hungry Waiakea might be.
Waiakea and Honokaa might get two runners from each school in the top 7, with St. Joseph’s Andrew Langtry and Makua Lani’s Brandt Mabuni joining in on the fun. Kamehameha’s Shawn Correa Doll will challenge Jackson Halford for the league individual crown.
But as everyone knows, anything can happen on race day, and something special usually happens. Good luck to all.
BIIF Cross Country Championships today at HPA
I’m anxious to get out to Hawaii Prep this afternoon to watch the four races that will be featured to the conclusion of an exciting Big Island Interscholastic Federation cross country season.
