Catching Up

Since the ancient days of the first Makahiki games, Molokai has had a proud athletic tradition. Today, the island continues to produce an unproportionally high amount of sports stars. From high school to college and the pros, our athletes have represented the Friendly Isle well on the national stage. Many have gone on to play sports for colleges throughout Hawaii and on the mainland. A few of Molokai’s now-professional athletes are listed below.
