WAILUKU — In his last appearance in Baldwin High School maroon and baby blue, Joseph Randolph added a huge exclamation mark to his remarkable legacy as a Bear.

He rumbled down the backstretch of the shiny, newly resurfaced Yamamoto Track & Field Facility track and crossed the finish line as the winner of the boys 200-meter dash at the Island Movers/HHSAA track and field state championships on Saturday night.

In a manner that few sprinters from the Maui Interscholastic League ever have, he entered into rare air among the state’s all-time elite.

His 21.35-second time was not record-eligible with a wind-gauge reading of 3.3 meters per second — 2.0 MPS is the highest allowable for record purposes — but the time was the second-fastest 200 ever recorded at any state meet, windy or not, according to HHSAA track officials.

Kapolei’s Devin Jenkins ran a wind-aided 21.09 in 2011, also at War Memorial Stadium.

Earlier Saturday, Randolph was second in the 100 in 10.72, just 0.09 seconds behind Hawaii Baptist’s Shane Kawakami-Williams.

Randolph won the state 100 title last year before scratching from the 200 with an injury. He pulled out of the state long jump and 4×100 relay preliminaries on Friday to concentrate on the two individual sprints in his final appearance here.

“I guess it’s kind of ironic, when you’re the state champion for one and now you’re the state champion for the next,” Randolph said while catching his breath on the same infield where he was a first-team MIL All-Star football player for the Bears last fall. “It feels great and all credit to Shane, he ran a perfect race and he’s a great athlete, great competitor, he has the best mindset.

“All respect goes to Shane in that 100, he’s a most humble character.”

Randolph’s 200 crown was the only state title for the MIL boys at the meet.

War Memorial Stadium was packed to the gills and the facility — which wasn’t cleared for usage until one day before the MIL championships the previous week — shone brightly to a statewide audience.

Saint Louis narrowly won the boys team title, 64-62, over Punahou. Maui High and Baldwin were the top team finishers from the MIL, tying for eighth place with HBA at 20 points apiece.

While Randolph scored 18 of the Bears’ points, the Sabers rode their dominant throwers to 18 of their points — Aizek Lakalaka added a silver in the shot put on Saturday (50 feet, 5 inches) to his bronze from the discus on Friday.

Younger brother Aizley Lakakakala, a junior, finished fourth in the shot (46-6). Both brothers gave credit to head coach Belden Bautista and throws coach Vanessa Tuzon.

“I really didn’t think I’d place that high, I thought I’d get around eighth or 10th, so it was surprising to see,” Aizek Lakalaka, who is considering a military career after graduation in a couple weeks, said via phone on Sunday. “It was pretty cool, I thought we were able to represent well and put on a show. It wouldn’t have been possible without Coach B and Coach V.”

Aizley Lakalaka was the only non-senior among the top-nine finishers in the shot put.

“It was awesome, it was fun competing against all the seniors,” said Aizley Lakalaka, who was two inches short of his personal record, adding “I hope so” when asked if he can win the shot put title next year.

Saber senior Donovan Magbual finished eighth in the event at 45-5.

“It was really cool because everybody was surprised at how well we did,” Aizley Lakalaka said, adding that competing against his older brother “was fun, it was really competitive and I was hoping I’d have a chance of beating him, but then he threw 50 feet.”

Maui High’s final two points came from its fifth-place 4×100 relay team.

All of the competitors were grateful to be in the War Memorial Stadium facility after it was closed for seven months after being shut down for much-needed renovations on Oct. 1. All eight of the MIL regular-season meets were held Upcountry, at either King Kekaulike Stadium or Kamehameha Maui’s Kanaiaupuni Stadium.

The WMS facility was pushed to standing-room-only dimensions Friday and Saturday while the aluminum end-zone bleachers were off-limits as work continues to revamp the stadium.

The county announced Friday in a news release that “the facilities will resume closure after the special event due to ongoing construction.”

Randolph’s last go-round in the 50-year-old facility brought some emotion. He plans to attend Olivet Nazarene University, an NAIA school in Bourbonnais, Ill., to play football and compete in track and field.

“It’s great, it’s home turf, but I don’t really consider it home turf because we only grabbed it last week,” Randolph said. “But, yeah, this stadium means a lot. This is where I ran my first meet at Kiwanis during my eighth-grade year and to finish it five years later, it’s really nostalgic, very beautiful.”

Baldwin’s final two points came from Isaac Kaalakea’s fifth-place finish in the 110 hurdles (15.37).

The only other MIL boys scorers (top six) were Kamehameha Maui’s Nohi Casco, who was second in the pole vault (13-8); King Kekaulike senior James “Bear” Jarman, who was fifth in both the 1,500 (4:15.44) and 3,000 (9:19.44) races; and Seabury Hall sophomore Micah Brighton, who was fourth in the 3,000 (9:18.87).

“I love this place, it’s so nice,” Jarman said as the meet wound to a close. “There’s a real feeling running in space with everybody, I just love the connection you get with everybody and the boys. It was very nice.”

Brighton will be back for the next couple MIL regular seasons in the facility.

“It was really cool, I mean, being able to run at War Memorial — I don’t know, it’s just my home court, pretty much,” Brighton said. “It’s really cool to be able to run in it.”
