And is Lahainaluna the team to accomplish that unprecedented feat?
Those questions will be answered this Friday and Saturday at the Blaisdell Arena.
Five MIL wrestlers -- three boys and two girls -- received No. 1 seeds for the state championships.
Among them are two members of the Lunas' boy's team, Travis Okano at 130 pounds and Lake Casco at 160. Also receiving top rankings were Molokai's Kawika Ka'ahanui at 285, as well as Baldwin's Piikea Kalalau at 140 and Kailee Andrade at 175.
The Lunas are expected to challenge Punahou and Kaiser for the boy's team title after coming off a dominating performance in last weekend's MIL championships.
The Lunas qualified athletes in all 14 weight divisions and won 10 individual titles while amassing a record 257 points in the MIL meet.
The state paddling championships also are scheduled for Friday on Oahu.
The Baldwin girls, King Kekaulike boys and the Kamehameha-Maui mixed crew finished first in the recent MIL championship regatta.
MIL teams have enjoyed their greatest success in mixed crew events, with three different schools capturing gold medals since the start of the state competition in 2002.
The Lunas won gold in the initial regatta in 2002, with Kekaulike taking top honors in 2004 and Kamehameha-Maui in 2006.
On the youth soccer front, representatives of Major League Soccer presented a clinic last Thursday at Keopuolani Park that was attended by about 70 youngsters.
The event was hosted by the Maui Untied Soccer Club, whose director of coaching -- Ted Eck -- was an original member of the league as a member of the Dallas Burn and who made 13 appearances for the U.S. National Team.
