So it was an opportunity to focus on the individual events, and several athletes came up huge during Saturday's finals at War Memorial Stadium.
King Kekaulike's Bailey Massenburg was the belle of the meet, winning four gold medals. She swept the three longest races by capturing the 800, 1500 and 3000-meter events in addition to running a leg on Na Ali'i's victorious 1600 relay team.
Baldwin's Asia Okamura won three golds, taking the pole vault with a meet-record 9-9 and high hurdles, as well as running on the first-place 400 relay team.
Teammate Brittany Feteira won the 100 and anchored the 400 relay.
Seabury Hall freshman sensation Kailea Tracy-Visintainer took top honors in the 200 and 400, setting meet marks in both with times of 25.06 and 57.1.
The top performer among the boys was Baldwin's Sean Tesoro, who set records in the shot put and discus with distances of 52-4 and 174-1.
Teammate Joey Amescua won the 800 in a record 1:57.44 and anchored the winning 400 relay. Baldwin's Kalei Kamahele swept the sprints in times of 11.01 and 22.04.
Kekaulike's Red Hunter won the 1500 and 3000, while St. Anthony's Billy Pacheco won his second career golf in the pole vault by clearing 14 feet.

It is Reid, not Red Hunter. And I might nominate him for boys athlete of the meet after he beat the meet record in the 1,500 by more than 7 seconds and also shattered the mark in the 3,000. Maybe you should pay more attention to The Maui News (and give them credit for repeating their reporting, which you don't seem to do very often, even though you clearly use their stuff nearly daily).
What happened to the Baldwin girls track & field team at states this past weekend? After placing 2nd for 3 years in a row, they fell to a distant 13th.
