Changing the landscape

The rare talents of Island School’s Pierce Murphy and Leilehua’s Margarito Martinez are improving the state of boys cross country in Hawaii

By Stanley Lee / Special to Star-Advertiser

How fast will they go?

Defending state champion Margarito Martinez of Leilehua is looking for fast times and a good challenge from Island School’s Pierce Murphy at Thursday’s state cross country championships. The two top runners in the state have pushed each other in the past and are nudging the sport into new territory with their fast times.

Recent state champions dominated and ran away from the competition at past state meets. This one will be much different, as Martinez and Murphy will both contend for the boys title at Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park. The girls race starts at 9 a.m. with the boys to follow.

“I’m hoping to give Pierce a challenge, to push each other,” said Martinez, a senior. “I’m not really looking forward to beating him, but looking more toward running with him. It’s exhilarating to have someone right there next to you. I appreciate him. He’s always there. He knows how to race, he’s a great racer, the best runner here in Hawaii.”

Martinez won last year’s state championship held at Island School on Kauai, while Murphy was second. Murphy, a senior and the state track champion in the 1,500 and 3,000 meters, won this year’s 3-mile ‘Iolani Invitational in 15 minutes, 25.92 seconds, while Martinez was second in 15:51.00. Rarely has there been more than one runner in the state who has gone under 16 minutes at that distance. It’s plausible they can both do that at CORP, a grassy and hilly course. Martinez won last week’s Oahu Interscholastic Association championship at CORP with a time of 15:58.17.

“This year, me and Pierce are just changing the sport for Hawaii,” Martinez said. “We’re improving the sport. I just want to make Hawaii into a legitimate running state, for other states to take us seriously.”

Martinez came into this season in different form from last year. He was finally able to put in the long mileage during summer workouts, did more weightlifting and also dropped some weight. Coach Shawn Nakata said Martinez, who plans to run in college next year, has emerged as a vocal leader for the team, giving talks to the squad before races and organizing team-bonding activities.

“He’s very dedicated, he’s always giving 100 percent in running,” said Margarito’s younger brother and teammate Dylan Martinez, a sophomore who finished third in the OIA. “I haven’t seen him put that much effort into anything but that. He’s done so many sports. He’s even done football. I’ve never seen him so dedicated to something ever in my life.”

Surprisingly, neither of the Martinez brothers did well when they each took up running in the sixth grade. But as Margarito started to excel, Dylan wondered if this was something that ran in the family.

“I’ve learned (from my brother) that if you put your mind to it, it’s always going to be the way you want it to be,” Dylan said. “If you want to be first, you can be first. It’s all in your mind. He’s taught to be strong up here. Running is all mental. He’s taught me to be strong mentally.”

Murphy won’t be the only runner making a name for his small school this week. Parker School qualified its entire boys team by virtue of its runner-up finish at the Big Island Interscholastic Federation championships.

Kamehameha of the Interscholastic League of Honolulu is the defending boys state champion. At last week’s league championships that were both held at CORP, the times of Kamehameha’s and Leilehua’s top five runners were nearly identical. Each team’s top five finishers contribute to their team’s score.

In the girls race, defending state champion Elli Brady is finally hitting her stride. The sophomore ran with injuries earlier in the season, but felt stronger physically and mentally in winning last week’s ILH championship.

Freshman Dakota Grossman of Maui’s Seabury Hall is expected to challenge for the state title. She’s traveled all over to compete against the state’s top runners this year, winning races on Oahu, the Big Island and Maui. The Punahou girls have won the last five state titles. Hawaii Prep, the BIIF champion, raced on the state course earlier this season en route to winning the Honolulu Marathon Invitational.

Congratulations to our Varsity Volleyball Team

This afternoon at Iolani School Gym the cheering for the Saints was very loud.  Saints’ fans were all over the gym.  A victory would mean a trip to the State Division II Tournament.  In the first set with the Saints holding a slim lead over La Pietra 10-7  junior Jedidah Hanakahi entered the game and serving very well helped up increase the lead to 13-7.  La Pietra had a short rally and closed to 14-10.  Now enter senior defensive specialist Taylor Asao and she promptly served tough and we passed well and increased the lead 20-10.  Senior Ashley Silva had a great block and we went up 23-12.  The final score was 25-13.  Sophomore Angel Savea had 7 kills, sophomore Kalei Mau had 3 kills and 2 blocks and junior Harlee Meyers chipped in with 3 kills.  In the second set we traded points early and then we got some outstanding serving from libero sophomore Leila Matsumoto in her serving run recorded two aces as we pulled away  17-7.  We won the set 25-18.  Angel had 4 kills, Jedidah, Kalei and Harlee each had 3 kills.  Coach Sonia substituted freely in the second part of the set.  With the state berth on their mind, just win one set well the dream almost burst.  We started by serving the ball out of bounds and La Pietra jumped to a  0-7 lead.  We started to climb back slowly and finally we caught them when Harlee served an ace to tie the score at 15. Then it was back and forth to the finish.  With the score 23-22 there was a long rally until Angel put down a ball for a 24-22 lead.  La Pietra got a point and were serving down by just one and then served the ball out.  We won 25-23 what a great comeback.  Angel had 4 kills, Kalei had 3 kills and Ashley had 2 kills.  With all these kills it usually means several things like the setting of Senior Mahina Galletes and sophomore Lexis Satele and the defense in the back row of Leila, Taylor, & junior Chelsie Rutkowski.  It was a great team victory and now it is on to the state tournament.  Congratulations to Coach Sonia and her excellent staff.  The tournament will be held Oct. 27-30, 2010 at McKinley & Kalani High Schools.

In ILH play our Varsity was 10-8, J.V. was 13-1 and our Intermediate was 14-0.  Our overall record was 37-9 for a .804 percentage—Coach Sonia and you staff—THANK YOU

Intermediate & Jr. Varsity Champions

This afternoon our youngest Saints captured the Division II Intermediate Volleyball Championship.  Since the Intermediate team witnessed the J.V. game yesterday I guess they decided to follow.  We got off to a slow start trailing Maryknoll 2-6.  Eighth graders Alyssa Panis started the comeback with a **** and then we started passing better and tied the score at 6-6.  Freshman Hunter Roberts came in and served very well the two times she substituted in the back line.  Freshman Danielle Whitten, Panis and Freshman Taylor Bellevou dominated play at the net.  We had leads of 16-11,  18-13 and then we started to pull away.  The outstanding setting of eighth grader Lacey Satele and all around defensive play of eighth grader Shandlynn Willing paced the Saints as we won the first set 25-15.  In the second set we traded points early and then we jumped to an 18-12 lead and then we lead 20-13.  Then Maryknoll had an excellent server and they picked up on all our poor passes.  They climbed the ladder and tied the score at 20.  We got a key **** from Freshman Stephanie Balais.  With the score at 24-22  Alyssa Panis went back to serve and she served an ace.  Our bench charged the floor as they cheered and hugged each other—not only are we Champions but we were also undefeated at 14-0. 

What a great year!  Congrats to Coach Donovan and all the volleyball coaches.  Great Weekend—2 games and two Championships.  Sister Joan, Sol & Doreen were cheering loudly at the game.

We had a large crowd supporting our younger Saints.
