A Close-up Look at Maui County's High School Athletics
• Kamehameha Schools Maui
• Grade: 12 / GPA: 2.7
• Sports: Wrestling, Track and Field (pole vault)
• Future Plans: I plan on going to ATP Flight School in Phoenix, Arizona. I don’t plan to continue sports, but if the opportunity does come, I might consider it.
• Sports Lessons: I enjoy the competition and the physical aspect of it. I love the struggle of learning and the never ending goal to get better. Being an athlete taught me to always give 110% effort and never give up.
