The Black and Gold 1975
Cindermen Develop Track Stamina
Only the most devoted and mentally as well as physically strong survived the constant drilling and conditioning involved in obtaining necessary track stamina.
A change in coaching staff affected the team's format as Coach Herbert Moriyama engaged the help of several graduates to assist as coaches. Kwan Young and Bernard Yuen coached the distance runners while Van Tomokiyo and Leighton Hirata helped the hurdlers. Neil Yamamoto trained the weightman and Jon Sakurada instructed the pole vaulters.
Many of last year's Honolulu District Championship lettermen did not return this year to compete, which left an entirely young team.
The cindermen developed very competitive spring and hurdle teams. Placing on top at the Kailua relays, the Tigers created an ever-looming threat to their contingents.
