East Hawaii’s Sunrise Athletics competed at the Hawaii Junior Olympics Track and Field championships in July on Oahu.
The club enjoyed a number of notable performances, and among them were:
• Waiakea High’s Louie Ondo, the defending Big Island Interscholastic Federation champion in the 800 and 1,500 meters, continued his winning ways, taking both races by comfortable margins.
• Participating in his final Junior Olympics, Waiakea graduate Ian McQuate claimed the 5,000 to go along with the five golds he won the past two years.
• Waiakea graduate Dyson Sato ended his Junior Olympics career by winning gold and silver in the 3,000 and 1,500, respectively.
• Shane Tominaga, the club’s youngest competitor claimed gold in the long jump, leaping 5 feet, 1.75 inches, and earned a sixth-place ribbon in the 200.
• Mikayla DeCosta started her day with a personal-best in the 100 and placed fourth, missing bronze by three one-hundredths of a second.
In the 200, she claimed bronze, and DeCosta earned another bronze in a competitive 400 relay along with teammates Akemi Tominaga, Teryn Tominaga and Phoebe Wyatt.
• In the middle distances, Wyatt and Ella Johnson captured three honors in their respective age groups.
Wyatt won silver in a quick-paced 800, Johnson claimed a hard-earned bronze in the 800, and each were challenged by rivals and won silver in the 1,500.
On the boys side, Tobias Johnson and Jayden Gebin pushed each other in the 800. Johnson pulled away for bronze, while Gebin took fifth.
• Other Sunrise Athletics competitors claiming medals (fourth-sixth) in their age groups or finishing in the top eight were: Tyler Clemons-Kailipaka, Violet Hart, John Marrack, Steven Chung, Saya Yabe, Slater Inouye, Rylie Cabalse, JoryAnne Cabalse, Alika Dedman, Deylan Okinaka, Glen Gibin, Benjamin Wyatt, Rachel Ignacio, Koa Tominaga, Jenna Lapinta, and Makena Denault.
