Cross Country - Girls Track

The Black and Gold 1976



Devoted Harriers Spot Twelfth Out of 27

 Physical size and depth would most normally confine any contingent in the world ofcross country. But "through sheer hard work and determination," in the words of Head Coach Tom Marks, the five female harriers were able to "accomplish much more than larger, deeper teams." The four underclassmen-three returnees-and novice runner dubbed themselves the "Mighty Midgets."


 While most teams failed to field enough girls to officially place, the Tiger runners spotted twelfth out of 27 in the Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) State Championship Meet at the Pali Golf Course.


 Opening their season, the Tigers niched sixth place in the Waialua Invitational.


 Pulled muscles, shin splints and the flu afflicted the Micks throughout the season. With less than five finishers, McKinley missed qualifying for team standings in the Punahou Invitational and the OIA Championships at Waialua.


 Two continued applying their acquired skills to track and field events.

Young Female Tracksters Notch Third-Year


 The quest to establish female athletics at McKinley gained another notch as the Girls' Track Team entered its third-year of existence in the OIAA Heavy recruiting from intermediate feeder schools amassed youthful and budding runners for novice competition. The six seniors flanked the individual events in the open division.


 Named McKinley's outstanding female athlete in 1975, head mentor Jackie Young, aided by two former Tiger tracksters, propelled the squad of 30 to practice wholeheartedly for the Kailua Relays on March 12 and the Honolulu District Meet on March 17. The month of April brought the OIA championships with the Punahou Relays following on May 1.


 Qualifying a group to the HHSAA state meet on Maui was the goal as much potential rested in the young tracksters.


 The key to their success lie in the girls' ability to remain unified as a team.

The Black and Gold 1976



Inexperienced Pitching, Team Defense Foil Successful JV Tiger Nine Season

 Inconsistencies in pitching and team defense were the major obstacles to a successful JV baseball season, as forecasted earlier by head mentor Ronald Kishimoto.


 Farrington capitalized on mental and field errors by the Cubs late in the game and scored six Governor runs to break a 2-1 McKinley lead wide open. After a tight 2-2 deadlock, the Mick defense yielded three runs to a victorious Kaimuki nine.


 Lack of timely hits plagued the Cubs against Kalaheo and Kaiser. McKinley failed to tally in one-out, bases-loaded situations, accounting for both downfalls.


 Turning the tables, McKinley, after trailing 5-2, displayed their bunting and base
running proficiencies to override Roosevelt. The Cubs scrambled for two runs to force
Kalani into overtime. The Micks treat soon ended as darkness called the game after eight innings, resulting in a draw.

 Seven Castle runs severed a 2-0 Mick lead to deal the Cubs their fifth loss. Numerous Kailua errors and Kelly Sur's outstanding pitching produced a season ending victory for McKinley, rounding out a 2-5-1 record.


 Six returning jayvees will form the foundation for a solid infield next year.

Progress Directs Tigers in Baseball Title Quest

 Progressive improvement keyed the Tigers' drive for a fruitful two rounds of competition and the baseball crown. 


 Four points were stressed by Head Coach Raynor Minami to strengthen the reality of such goals. Three essential components included conditioning, spirit, and knowledge. When taken together the trio supported the final aspect, a winning tradition.


 Individual veterans filled the Tigers' infield and has strong potential if they played well together. The outfield was fairly well set with seniors occupying two of the positions, while the pitchers and catchers looked forward to solid development and performances.


 Lack of experience as a team seemed to be the biggest question as it carried 12 underclassmen and only five seniors. The need for confidence followed the lack of experience, but Coach Minami believed his players had the ability and could overcome.


 Coach Minami also felt that the team would improve as the year work on, so success depended upon how well the players would develop and progress with each game.


 Steady improvement, if united with experience and confidence, would mold the team into a big winner in '76.

Mick Golfers Gain Third in OIA; Tiger Judo Champs Defend League Title

 McKinley's golf team hoped to equal or better last year's record of six wins and three losses, placing third in the OIA Eastern Division.


 Expectations were high because of the good turnout. The team consisted of four seniors, two juniors and two sophomores, all of which were returnees.


 Outstanding golfers were seniors Bernard Beck, Steve Takahashi and junior Ken Fujii, all averaging high 70's  or low 80's. Sophomore Tim Schmidt shows much promise for next year.


 The team played on such beautiful courses as Navy-Marine, Mid-Pacific, Makaha East, Kuilima, Kalakaua, Leilehua and the Oahu Country Club.


 Comprised of many returnees and five starting seniors, the McKinley Judo Team attempted to defend their OIA title with experience as their key attribute. To further its strength, a prestigious addition from Farrington also joined the team.


 At practices held every Tuesday and Thursday at the Beretania Police Station gym, various traditional martial arts customs were practices while also attempting to perfect various basic judo techniques, form, holds and throws.


 A total of seven tournaments or "shiais" were held at Castle and Kalani and McKinley hosting its own tournament. With a tough schedule lasting from March through April, the Tigers faced Waipahu, Kalani, Aiea, Moanalua, Kaimuki, Pearl City and Roosevelt.


 Co-captain Regan Yamada and John Quisano represented McKinley in the National Judo Tournament in Kent, Washington in May post-season action.
