Sharing is caring for Chow sisters

By Jerry Campany on July 27, 2010

It was, at least in the eyes of Chrissy Chow, the most outstanding performance by a team of female wrestlers from Hawaii on a national stage. The squad that went to Fargo, N.D., came home with champions in two divisions and a host of top-four finishes in what is arguably the most prestigious junior national tourney in the country. For Chow, younger sister Mindy and Megan Yamaguchi, the two-day tournament yielded the best results possible: individual titles. The Chow sisters […]

The attorney-turned-executive director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association made it through the busy spring season and this week’s athletic directors conference with renewed energy. He’s got little time to digest the proposals that passed the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Directors Association conference before they go up for vote before the HHSAA’s executive board on Monday morning. Without the HHSAA’s approval, no HIADA proposal is enacted. It’s happened often times before: three […]

MIL, BIIF spoke loud and clear

By Paul Honda on June 13, 2010

The groundswell had been building, all right. So had the ammunition. The Maui Interscholastic League and Big Island Interscholastic Federation were outnumbered, but not outgunned when discussion on the open floor ensued on Friday, the final day of the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Directors Association conference.
