per capita, i think hawaii has the most athletic kids in america. especially in sports where height is not of significant value, we excel. our advantage: heart. coming from an isolated place where historically we have always been considered outsiders imprints on us an underdog mentality. did you see when the ewa beach
kids won the little league world series a few years ago? that was some heart.
this year?
stanford's title winning mens volleyball team... 7 hawaii kids.
hpu just won the DII womens softball title... 11 homegrown girls.
brian clay, the undersized gold medal winning decathalete won yet another meet in austria.
UH womens softball team just beat no. 1 seed alabama to make it to the college world series... 8 hawaiians.
UH mens baseball just won the wac title and is in arizona for their regional tourney... 10 local boys. (kolten wong from hilo was wac tourney mvp)
