Just wanted to say congratulations to Maryknoll. An awesome showing for one of the "smaller" schools in the ILH. Two top three finishes in the State Championships, pretty damn impressive!
It's also great to see the OIA and neighbor islands bring it this year too. Parity is excellent for the sport.
maybe the ilh schools will now consider making the ilh season a combo of sprints and distance since the ilh only has two weeks to transition from a 20-30 min race to a race under 4 min
The ILH could do something like that. But one year doesn't make a trend.
Also if you have your baseline fitness established, you can phase your speed training into the last two months of the season and still get some adaptation. Or at least that's what Goto tells me.
Sorry Julian, Kalaheo is extra super duper good too. Good job on coaching em up!
But I was also impressed that a fairly small school could hang with all the bigger schools, public and private, in two events.
ryan has got a good point. maybe the oia should race a mixture of long and short. big props to ryan for breaking that paddle and missing nearly 12 or so strokes and still placing third. damn good. thanks jc9_0 kekama helped me out choke plus those boys have an incredible amount of talent. props to the mixed too. yeah outer island...
