Mikayla Pico, MIL Girls Wrestler of the Year

It’s not the size of the wrestler in the match, it’s the size of the determination in the wrestler. Ninety-eight-pound Molokai High senior Mikayla Pico proved that strength is more than just the physical when she wrestled an undefeated season, and faced her final opponent one-armed after an injury on the mat, finishing second in the state. Now, she’s been named Maui Interscholastic League (MIL) Girls Wrestler of the Year by The Maui News.

Seeded number one in the state competition, the Molokai wrestler dislocated her shoulder near the end of the season.…

Two Farmers named D-II Basketball All-Stars

Though the Farmers finished Maui Interscholastic League runner-ups last season, Molokai High Basketball players David Rapanot and Hauoli Falealii achieved high honors. They were named to The Maui News All-Star first team for Division II.

Season’s First Stand Up Race

SUPAM News Release

Stand Up paddle Association of Molokai (SUPAM) had their first race of the this year’s series Makani Ikaika O Molokai, on March 10th, 2012. This event lived up to its name. The Molokai to Oahu leg of the Olamau canoe race was postponed to Sunday, March 11 due to high winds and big seas and therefore SUPAM did the same for the long course, Kamalo to Kaunakakai.

However, the short course was inside the reef and in shallow water so the short course – three miles from One Ali`i fishpond to Kaunakakai Harbor – continued as scheduled. The wind was howling and for the kids that entered this was quite the adventure.…

Surf’s Up

With high surf advisories around the state for the past two weeks, Molokai surfers and body boarders have been taking advantage of the swells. Papohaku Beach, known for its expanse of white sand, is also known for its treacherous and unforgiving surf. Last Monday, a local youth takes advantage of a smaller, easier-going shore break and pulls into a sandy three foot tube. Photos by Catherine Cluett
