KEA‘AU — The 2026 BIIF track and field season continued over the weekend, with Kamehameha-91Ö±²¥ hosting the meet for the second straight week.

Konawaena senior star Violet Schaut made her return to the track after missing last week’s meet, making her mark with wins in the girls 100 (12.37s) and girls 200-meter dash (25.19s). Schaut was also part of the 4×100 relay team with Kaella Masters, Jazmin Fillmore and Dasha Kala — winning the race in 50.19 seconds, which was a stadium record.

Schaut, who continued her dominant runner career by establishing herself as one of the best in the state in 2025, is picking up right where she left off in the new season — collecting seven total wins through two meets.

Schaut’s teammates, siblings Paxton Sokham and Aden Sokham, had a nice day on the track — with Paxton Sokham finishing first in the boys 400-meter with a personal-best 49.94-second finish and placing second behind Aden Sokham in the 100.

The Sokhams were also part of the winning 4×400 relay team with Kareem Walker and Lucas Carvalho. who broke a venue record with a time of 3:29.95.

While Konawaena looked strong in the short-distance races, Kealakehe made its mark in the long-distance ones — as sophomore Zadie Bolton took victories in the girls 800 (2:27.62) and girls 3,000-meter race by over 20 seconds (11:13.01). Bolton has had a strong season already, earning six individual wins through three meets in long-distance running.

Fellow Waverider Elisa Childers, one of Kealakehe’s strongest long-distance runners, won the 1,500-meter run in just over five minutes, 26 seconds. The senior also placed second behind Bolton in the 3,000 race (11:35.54). Teammate Lily Marhsall won the girls 400-meter dash with a personal-best time of 1:04.65.

In the boys long-distance bouts, 91Ö±²¥ Prep junior Jack Soon-Ludes claimed victories in the 800 (2:08.48) and 1,500-meter race with a season-best time of 4:22.24. Through three meets, Soon-Ludes has won five long-distance runs.

Leading the hurdles once again was Kamehameha-91Ö±²¥ junior Judah Kanoa, who won the boys 110-meter hudles for the third time this season with a time of 14.54 seconds. In the 300 hurdles, Kanoa won for the second straight week, crossing the finish line at the 39.89-second mark.

Kanoa was also part of the Warriors’ 4×100 relay team that won in 43.93 seconds. His fellow teammates on the squad were Iopa Quintana, 91Ö±²¥ Iokepa and Tanoatoa Muskat.

Kanoa has been outright dominant in the boys hurdles since last season, and has already collected six individual race wins thus far.

In the field events, Kohala junior Mari Ontiveros broke a venue record in the girls shot put — throwing for a distance of 12.57 meters (41-03.00).

In the discus throw, both the boys and girls winner notched personal bests — Kamehameha’s Chanse Kaaua-Long throwing 47.44 meters (155-08) and Hilo’s Wai Krismunando launching 31.19 meters (102-04). Saturday marked Kaaua-Long’s second straight week winning the event, while it was Krismunando’s first win of the year in any event.

Leading the high jump was Kohala sophomore stud Na‘i Rivera, who won the boys contest with a leap of 1.75 meters (5-09.00) — equaling his personal best that he set last season. Rivera has won the high jump twice in 2026.

In the pole vault, both winners matched their personal-best launches — Kaimanamaikalani Bowman of Kamehameha leaping 3.96 meters (13-00.00) in the boys field and teammate Taliya Nishida clinching the girls contest with a vault of 3.04 meters (10-00.00).

Bowman has won the boys pole vault thrice this season, while Nishida has won the girls portion twice.

Konawaena senior Trenton Wong Yuen earned his second long jump win this season after matching his personal-best leap of 6.64 meters (21-09.50). Kealakehe’s Ia Pabre won the girls triple jump after launching a season-best 9.70 meters (31-10.25).
