Favorite moment from high school?

My favorite moment from high school would probably be the day of the football BIIF championship during my senior year. There was so much hype building up from when we first got to school that by the time we got to game time, we felt like we could run through anything. Having the support from the entire school, especially the seniors, along with all the parents cheering us on, made this game one of the most exciting games of the season. Seeing our home crowd erupt when the clock struck zero will stick with me for the rest of my life.

Most influential adult throughout my K-12 journey:

Coach Manly Kanoa, Kumu Pōmaikaʻi

What are you most looking forward to?

I am looking forward to continuing my academic and athletic career at a Division 1 program. Getting my college education was one of my top priorities and I was able to use the sport I loved to get there. I hope to serve as an example for the kids from the Big Island. I wanted to show them that we can compete with anyone and we can achieve anything we put our minds too. #TheMarathonContinues
