The State Championships will be held at CORP, this Friday, Nov. 10 at 9am. Girls run first at 9am, boys run after the completion of the girls race.
Iolani's Kon Weber will be attempting to finish first in an extremely strong field. Bryce Jenkins of Leilehua is the favorite based on a few comparable races, Other main competitors would be Manu Adolph of Molokai and Kalani Rosell of Maui.
Leilehua or Kamehameha are favored to win in the team competition, but the Raiders are a good team, and strange things can happen when so many good runners get together.
