Waiakea girls coach
Ipo Hai-Kelly describes
Yabe as tough and tender.
“Saya is strong-minded,
eager to win and to prac-
tice. She’s always there
full-hearted,” Hai-Kelly
said. “She’s very friendly
and always supportive of
the new girls. Some of
them are so scared, but
she’ll tell them not to be
scared. She always cheers
them on, and she’s a very
humble person.”
Her dad Michael Yabe
works at Mauna Kea
and her mom Ayumi is a
manager at Safeway. Yabe
was born in Japan, but
moved to Hilo in the first
grade.
Yabe pointed to 2015
Hilo graduate and BIIF
champion
Mehana
Sabado-Halpern as an
influence.
“She showed up every
single race 100 percent
confident in herself,” Yabe
said. “That’s something I
have to learn from her
and do as well. I’m slow-
ly learning to believe in
myself.”
At last year’s BIIF
championship at HPA,
Sabado-Halpern
cap-
tured the title in 21:00.
Yabe was fourth in 23:03.
Since she started cross
country as a freshman,
Yabe never secured a race
gold medal. So it was fit-
ting that at the BIIF sea-
son opener at HPA last
week, Yabe won in 22:54.
“That felt like I was
breaking through the
surface,” she said. “It was
finally my chance to shine
after being in the shadow
for so long.”
It’s been a long time
since a Waiakea run-
ner won a BIIF title.
Tamarah Binek was the
last Warrior to do so in
2002.
The
seven-time
defending champion Ka
Makani will be a favorite
for the BIIF crown for the
foreseeable future.
They’ve got blossoming
youth among their top
seven: freshman Higgins;
sophomores Ada Benson,
fourth
(21:16),
Zoe
Ganley, 10th (22:38),
and Tove Fostvedt, 15th
(23:17).
champion Kealakehe,
68; Waiakea, 80; Hawaii
Prep, 103; Konawaena,
134; Makua Lani, 160;
Kamehameha,
173;
Honokaa,
179;
and
Keaau, 219.
After Brown, the other
scoring Vikings to follow
were Steven Chung, fifth
(17:12); Kai Shumway,
ninth (17:58); Steven
Baca, 11th (18:24); and
Aris Aynessazian, 12th
(18:34).
Hilo’s last BIIF cham-
pionship was in 2005,
and the one before that
was historic. When the
Viks won in 2000, that
snapped HPA’s 20-year
title reign.
The Vikings have extra
incentive because Brown,
Shumway, Steven Baca,
Aynessazian andBrandon
Baca, who was 13th in
18:47, are all seniors.
The BIIF champi-
onships will return to
Kamehameha, so the sec-
ond race of the season
served as a measuring
stick, especially for Ondo.
He’s on Lance and
MJ Tominaga’s Sunrise
Athletics running club.
Ondo is hoping with their
help, he can land a schol-
arship somewhere.
“They’ve taught me
how to pace myself, and
how to prepare myself
for runs,” he said. “I’ve
improved my grades a lot.
Now, I’ve got a 3.2 GPA.
I’m shooting for lower
times in cross country,
15:30 to 15:40.”
