KEAAU, HAWAII >> Punahou captured the Island Movers/HHSAA Girls Track and Field Championship tonight at Keaau High School, despite significant injuries.
Star sprinter Ashley Satterwhite was injured during the meet and another key Buffanblu competitor fainted and was taken off the field in an ambulance as a precaution not long afterward.
“People came through when they needed to,” Punahou coach Duncan Macdonald said.
Kamehameha, the defending champion, got a victory from Ashlee Jiminez in the 400 meter dash (57.82), and Jiminez surged past Punahou for a come-from-behind effort to take second in the 4x100.
But besides that, the Warriors couldn’t keep the pace with the Buffanblu, who captured their 31st girls track title overall and 11th in the last 14 years.
