Kamaile Track and Field 

Inspired by this tradition, Kamaile Track and Field honors these same values through its three divisions:

• Kūkini – swift messengers of old, known for endurance, speed, and service. At Kamaile, Kūkini represent our sprinters and distance runners. More than just athletes, Kūkini are haumāna. Beyond racing across a finish line or pacing a mile, they are learning focus, discipline, and resilience habits that kākoʻo success both in the papa and on the track. Running relieves stress, boosts energy, and sharpens the mind, while the pilina built during training and the confidence gained from setting new personal records create a strong sense of belonging. The determination shown in every sprint and the perseverance required in every distance race extend naturally into their academic studies and daily life.
  
  

• ʻĀlapa – known in Hawaiian tradition for quickness and skill, at Kamaile ʻĀlapa represent our throwers and shot putters—men and women of strength. Their events require not just physical power, but also discipline, control, and focus. Each throw demands precision and the ability to channel strength with intention. These same qualities support haumāna in the classroom, where persistence, concentration, and resilience lead to success. As ʻĀlapa, students learn that true strength is not only measured in distance, but in the determination to keep improving, both in athletics and in life.
  
  

• Lele Loloa – meaning “long leaps,” Lele Loloa represents our long jumpers. Each jump requires courage, explosive strength, and trust in oneself to take off and land with purpose. The discipline of long jumping, measuring strides, building momentum, and leaping forward mirrors the skills needed in academics and life. It teaches haumāna to take risks, set ambitious goals, and believe they can always reach further. Every leap is a testament to vision, perseverance, and the courage to move forward.
  
  

Together, these divisions reflect important Hawaiian values of strength, agility, dedication, and perseverance. With every lap, every throw, every leap, and every cheer from their hui, Kamaile haumāna kūlia I ka nuʻu, hoʻomau, and believe in themselves—on the track, in school, and in life.
