Angelica Ljungquist knocked down 15 kills and Joselyn Robins contributed 10 to lead the Wahine (22-0), the nation's top-ranked team.

Hawaii offensive coordinator Guy Benjamin has challenged his offensive unit to "step-up and play aggressively," something he says the players haven't done consistently this season. And the Rainbows will certainly have to step-up to have any kind of chance against the Falcons, who went into to South Bend last weekend and upset nationally-ranked Notre Dame. Oddsmakers have established Air Force as 34-point favorites. ** Prep Football Report ** McKinley and Castle won Oahu Interscholastic Association first- round football playoff games last night at Aloha Stadium.

The Wahine won in three straight games, 15-5, 15-8, 15-2. UH coach Dave Shoji characterized his team's seemingly effortless romp of the Irish as "scary." Said Shoji: "They're a good team and we didn't have much of a problem beating them."

According to allegations, Curry and Jacobs were involved in an argument with Wahine volleyball player Cecilia Goods early Sunday morning at the Hale Wainani student housing complex. When Moses Goods stepped in to defend his sister, a fight ensued leaving Moses Goods with two black eyes. At the suggestion of UH men's volleyball coach Mike Wilton, Goods pressed assault charges against Curry and Jacobs. A police investigation is now underway. ** Playoff Wins for Kaiser, Leilehua ** Using two different methods, Kaiser and Leilehua surged to Oahu Interscholastic Association football playoff victories last night at Aloha Stadium.

Kaiser will take on Waianae and Leilehua will meet Waipahu in quarterfinal round matchups next week.

The Irish are the sixth ranked team the Wahine have taken on this season and field the tallest starting lineup. Notre Dame also serves tough, averaging 2.17 aces per game, fifth best in the nation. "We're in for a couple of tough matches," said UH coach Dave Shoji who said his team has the advantage in experience, quickness, and athleticism. ==Western Athletic Conference Standings== ==Pacific Division== WAC ALL W L W L Hawaii 9 0 20 0 Fresno St 5 2 16 4 San Diego St 5 2 12 8 Colorado St 4 3 14 6 Wyoming 2 4 8 12 UNLV 2 4 4 12 San Jose St 2 6 8 13 Air Force 0 6 2 13 ** Bright Light for Bows ** Kamehameha grad and former Air Force Academy appointee Ben Bright will be one of the players leading the University of Hawaii football team against the Falcons in a Western Athletic Conference match-up on Saturday at Colorado Springs, Colo. Bright, regarded as one of the strongest (bench press, 480 pounds), intense, and crazy players on the UH squad, will start at tackle on the Rainbow defensive front. "Playing the position is like falling on a grenade," said Bright. "You have to take the hits. Sometimes, you have to get a little nuts." ** Hawaii Winter Baseball League ** --Outrigger Division-- W L Pct GB Hilo Stars 6 4 .600 -- Maui Stingrays 4 6 .400 2 --Volcano Division-- W L Pct GB Honolulu Sharks 6 5 .545 -- West Oahu CaneFires 5 6 .454 1 --Last night's recaps-- Honolulu 6, Maui 0: At Rainbow Stadium, the Sharks used a five-run outburst in the seventh inning and the shutout pitching of Hideki Okajima to beat the Stingrays last night.

The former all-stater from St. Louis High School said he will probably undergo surgery to correct the problem. "It's kind of a tough decision, but I'm looking toward my future," he said. The Rainbows (2-6) will certainly miss the services of the 6-2, 280-pound Olivera, particularly this weekend when they take on Air Force on the road. ** Wahine Soccer Team Wins ** Missy Moore and Wendy Miyashiro each scored a goal to give the UH Wahine soccer team a 2-0 win over Hawaii Pacific before several hundred fans last night at Ala Wai Field.

A crowd of 20,475 was on hand to see the Rainbows improve to 2-6 overall and 1-4 in the conference. The Rebels remain winless (0-8, 0-5). After calling some ill- conceived trick plays in the first half, UH offensive coordinator Guy Benjamin decided to keep things simple, sticking to basic dives, traps, and sweeps. The plan worked as the Rainbows amassed 350 yards on the ground. Halfback Russell Grant did most of the damage, netting 144 yards on 14 carries, including a 66- yard sprint to paydirt at the start of the fourth quarter to give the Rainbows a 31-21 lead.

An All-American at UH in the 80s, Collins, now the first-year head coach at Nevada-Las Vegas, will have the tough task of watching her Lady Rebels (4-10) take on the 1996 edition of the UH Wahine (17-0) in a Western Athletic Conference match tonight in Las Vegas. "It'll be an eye-opener for my team," admitted Collins. "I want to see Deidre do well," said UH coach Dave Shoji.

Two weeks ago at the Special Events Arena, the Wahine routed the Aztecs with ease. However, last night was no gimme. "It was a good win because we knew San Diego State was a better team than it showed in Hawaii," said UH coach Dave Shoji, whose team improved to 18-0 overall and 6-0 in the conference. Angelica Ljungquist hammered 23 kills, and Therese Crawford and Cecilia Goods added 15 and 14, respectively, to pace Hawaii. SDSU, rated by coaches as the second-best team in the WAC, fell to 10-8 and 3-2. ==WAC Pacific Division Standings== Hawaii 7-0, Fresno State 4-2, SDSU 3-2, UNLV 2-2, Colorado St., Wyoming 2-3, San Jose St. 2-4, Air Force 0-4. ** Donations for UH Sports Roll In ** Governor Ben Cayetano announced that he has solicited nearly a half-million dollars in donations for the financially-strapped University of Hawaii athletic department.

"This is only the beginning," said Cayetano. "The response has been tremendous." The governor will host a fund-raising event tonight at Washington Place. ** UH Seniors Still Spirited ** A winning season and the glory that goes with it gone, the seniors on the University of Hawaii football team are keeping their proverbial heads up for the last half of nightmarish season. "It's a reality that we're not winning," said senior offensive lineman C.B. Wentling, "but I'm reaping rewards from this, even if they're smaller than what most people from more successful teams are getting." Noting that many of his high school teammates never had a chance to play football in college, kicker Carlton Oswalt added, "I feel totally privileged to be where I am right now." Quarterback Glenn Freitas was philosophical: "At least we can be a part of building the foundation. That's something to be proud of." The Rainbows, 1-6 overall and 0-4 in the Western Athletic Conference, will take on Nevada-Las Vegas on Saturday night at Aloha Stadium. ** Sports Shorts ** UH-Hilo basketball coach Jim Farnum announced that 7-foot center Chad Glenn will miss the upcoming season because Glenn has been diagnosed with symptoms of Marfan's Syndrome, an affliction that has led to the deaths of other tall athletes, including former U.S. Olympic volleyball player Flo Hyman. ---- Three surfers from Hawaii advanced to the second round and five others will begin competition today at the Rio Surf Pro at Barra Beach, Brazil.

Leading the Wahine are forward Nani Cockett, center Kendis Leeburg, and guards B.J. Itoman and Tiffany Fujimoto. According to UH coach Vince Goo, only Leeburg has a firm lock on a starting position. Making bids for playing time are a host of other players, including Brandi Ashby (6-2 forward), Liisa Kotilainen (5-8 guard), Raylene Howard (5-11 forward), Hedy Liu (5-11 forward), Sutton Helvey (6-2 forward) and Maj Forsberg (5-4 guard). Goo said he likely go with a platoon system like he did in 1991 when the Wahine went 25-7 and reached the championship game of the NIT Tournament. ** Wahine Still the One ** The UH women's volleyball team continues to occupy the top spot in the USA Today/AVCA Top 25 Poll. The Wahine (17-0) received all 59 first place votes. Florida (19-1), Stanford (14-1), Long Beach State (18-0), and Penn State (16-1) round out the top five. The Wahine will play three matches on the mainland in the next four days. They will take on San Diego State (10-7) tonight, UNLV (4-10) on Friday, and Air Force (2-11) on Saturday. ** UH Special Teams Hurting ** UH football coach Fred vonAppen said the play of his special teams have been less than adequate this season. VonAppen remarked that poor play has led to long punt returns for touchdowns and less than ideal field position for the Rainbow offense. Not one to mince words, vonAppen evaluated the execution of the Rainbows' special teams as follows: "Shit happens." VonAppen has assigned assistant coaches Trent Miles, Tom Williams, Don Dillon, and Ken Margerum to give special teams coach Doug Semones a hand. "Any extra help will be helpful," said Semones, the former Kahuku High School coach. ** Small College Women's Volleyball ** Danielle Robins pounded 16 kills to spark Chaminade past Montana State-Billings, 15-5, 15-11, 14-16, 15-11, last night in Billings, Montana.

Hawaii fell to 1-6 overall and 0-4 in the conference.

The windward Oahu club, which returns all nine paddlers from its 1995 championship crew, received a dash of reality when it placed sixth in Skippy Kamakawiwoole distance race a few weeks ago. "That probably was the best thing that could have happened to us," said Lanikai coach Gale Berengue. "It got everybody re- focused."

Ninety crews, including defending champion Lanikai, were entered in last year's race. Lanikai paddler John Foti expressed concern about the large field. "It's good to have all these people willing and interested," he said, "but if there's going to be a three- to four-hour gap between crews, I think you might have to start thinking of other ways to do it." Molokai Hoe director Joan Malama said the race committee will consider limiting the number of entries next year if problems arise on Sunday. Several crews complained last year because crowded conditions led to bumping and collisions at the start of the race. ** Lakers Talented, says Magic ** The current crop of the Los Angeles Lakers could be the best collection of players in franchise history. So says former Laker Earvin "Magic" Johnson, here in Honolulu to watch tonight's preseason match-up between the Lakers and the Denver Nuggets at the Special Events Arena. Now retired and a part-owner of the club, Johnson believes this year's team is something special. "One through 12, this team is more talented than even the teams I played on." He said that with players like Shaquille O'Neal, Nick Van Exel, Eldon Campbell, Cedric Ceballos, and Kobe Bryant, the Lakers "have more guys who can finish on a break.

UH athletic director Hugh Yoshida said that a change of plans at this late date would mean paying penalties for flight and hotel cancellations and securing alternate transportation. The game was bumped up a day because of a possible scheduling conflict with the San Diego Padres, who qualified for the postseason baseball playoffs. Since the Padres were ousted in the first round, Jack Murphy Stadium became available again. UH coach Fred vonAppen has been grumbling about the abbreviated period of time his team has to prepare for the Aztec game. However, according to SDSU athletic director Rick Bay, "nobody in Hawaii's camp should complain" because he has offered to return the game to Saturday. ** Wahine Pool Tourney on Tap ** The Cuetec Cues Honolulu Classic 9-Ball Tournament, featuring 32 professional players from the Women's Professional Billiards Association and 16 qualifiers, will vie for $41,000 in prize money Friday through Sunday at Restaurant Row.

CSU, two-time defending WAC champions, improved to 3-3 and 2-0. The Rainbows played well in the first two quarters and trailed 21-16 at the half. However, the Rams picked up the defensive intensity in the second half, shutting down a ground-hugging UH offense. Said UH coach Fred vonAppen: "We're not a very good team yet. We have flashes of brilliance, but we can't sustain a good enough playing level to win a football game. We're 1-5 and that's about what we've earned." Next up for the Rainbows is a road game at San Diego State this weekend at Jack Murphy Stadium. ---- In other WAC action, former St. Louis High running back Chris Fuamatu-Maafala rushed for 236 yards on 28 carries to lead Utah to a 34-27 come-from-behind win over Texas-El Paso on Saturday night in El Paso. ** High School Football Scoreboard ** [Advertiser Top 10 Ranking in Parentheses] ==This Weekend's Results== (No. 1) St. Louis 37, (No. 4) Kamehameha 0 (No. 2) Punahou 26, Iolani 6 (No. 5) Campbell 15, Kailua 12 (No. 6) Waiakea 39, Hilo 0 (No. 8) Waimea 21, Kapaa 0 (No. 9) Leilehua 36, Castle 22 Farrington 18, (No. 10) Waipahu 13 Roosevelt 16, Kahuku 6 Damien 19, Pac-Five 6 Aiea 22, McKinley 21 Pearl City 22, Moanalua 21 Kalani 28, Waialua 6 Kaiser 10, Radford 6 Mililani 20, Nanakuli 6 Hawaii Prep 17, Honokaa 6 Ka'u at Pahoa (not reported) Konawaena at Kohala (not reported) ** Sports Shorts ** Hawaii's Bonga Perkins won the Oxbow World Longboard Championship yesterday in 6- to 8-foot surf at Bidart-Guethary, France.

A crowd of 7,963 was on hand to see the Wahine improve to 15-0 and 4-0 in the conference. The Aztecs, touted as the team to give Hawaii the most problems in the WAC this year, provided meek resistance last night. "They kicked our butts," said SDSU coach Mark Warner, whose team fell to 8-7 and 1-1. Leading the Hawaii butt kicking were middle blockers Angelica Ljungquist (13 kills, .524 hitting percentage) and Cia Goods (9 kills, .800 percentage). ** Saints Romp ** Top-ranked St. Louis pounded No. 4 Kamehameha, 37-0, in an Interscholastic League of Honolulu football game last night before 6,369 fans at Aloha Stadium. The Crusader defense limited Kamehameha to just 124 total yards. Offensively for the Saints, quarterback Jason Gesser completed 11 of 20 passes for 265 yards and three touchdowns. Slotback Craig Stutzman scored twice in the first quarter on reverse plays of 35 and 22 yards. ==Other prep football scores== Damien 19, Pac-Five 6 Mililani 20, Nanakuli 7 Campbell 15, Kailua 12 Pearl City 22, Moanalua 21 Aiea 22, McKinley 21 Kaiser 10, Radford 6 Waimea 21, Kapaa 14 Waiakea 39, Hilo 0 ** Bows-Rams Tonight ** The University of Hawaii Rainbow Warrior football team will butt heads with the Colorado State Rams in a Western Athletic Conference football game tonight at Aloha Stadium. The Bows are 1-4 overall and 0-2 in the WAC while CSU is 2-3 and 1-0. UH coach Fred vonAppen said he hopes his offensive unit can break out of the doldrums. Last week in a 20-0 loss to Fresno State, the Rainbow offense was limited to 176 total yards. "We need to move the ball," said vonAppen. Meanwhile, CSU will be looking to release some pent up frustration after enduring a 56-point shellacking at the hands of Nebraska last weekend. The Rams are 13-point favorites tonight. ** Sports Shorts ** BYU-Hawaii defeated UH-Hilo, 15-12, 15-10, 15-0 in a women's small college volleyball match last night at the Cannon Activities Center in Laie.

The WAC football contest between the Aztecs and Rainbows had been scheduled for Saturday, October 12, at Jack Murphy Stadium but had to be re- scheduled to the day before because the San Diego Padres baseball team, which has a contractual priority, may have a postseason playoff game that day. UH athletic director Hugh Yoshida said it will cost SDSU about $150,000 to fly the 85-member Rainbow contingent to San Diego and back via charter. The usual round- trip cost on a commercial flight is about $40,000. Meanwhile, the Rainbows are preparing for tomorrow night's game at Aloha Stadium against Colorado State. "Too much is being made over (the San Diego State date switch)," said UH coach Fred vonAppen. "Right now we have to think about Colorado State." ** Wahine-Aztecs Tonight ** The top-ranked University of Hawaii Wahine volleyball team will play unranked San Diego State in a Western Athletic Conference match tonight at the Special Events Arena. The Wahine are 14-0 overall and 3-0 in the conference while the Aztecs are 8-6 and 1-0. Wahine middle blockers Cia Goods and Angelica Ljungquist are among the leaders in several WAC statistical categories. Goods is hitting .529 in WAC matches. Ljungquist has averages of .419 in hitting, 1.78 blocks per game, and 4.72 kills per game. ** Swords Pierce Vulcans ** A crowd of about 200 was on hand at McCabe Gym to watch Chaminade defeat UH-Hilo, 15-10, 15-9, 12-15, 15-7, in a women's small college volleyball match. The Silverswords improved to 11-5 overall and 3-0 in the PacWest Conference. The Vulcans dropped to 4-8 and 0-3. Danielle Robins slammed 19 kills to lead Chaminade. Also playing well were setter Karlen Porter and middle blocker Boo Arnold, starters on Kamehameha's state championship girls' team last season. The match also featured a showdown between coaches Sharon Peterson of UHH and Glennie Adams and Tanya Fuamatu of Chaminade. Adams and Fuamatu played for Peterson at Hilo. ** High School Football ** Top-ranked St. Louis (3-0) will take on No. 4 Kamehameha tonight at Aloha Stadium in the top Hawaii high school football game of the week. In addition to being the No. 1 team in the state, the Crusaders are ranked 18th in the USA Today High School Top 25. In the OIA, Radford travels to Kaiser for a critical Blue Division battle.

UH coach Fred vonAppen confirmed that he had spoken by phone with Fasi yesterday and that the offer was genuine. According to vonAppen, Fasi stipulated that the money must go directly to the football program and must not have any strings attached. Fasi also said that when he first made the offer to UH officials, he received no response, hence the direct call to vonAppen. "This is a very magnanimous gesture on his part," said vonAppen. "We're most appreciative. I'm very embarrassed that we didn't respond sooner." ** Wahine-Aztec Showdown Tomorrow ** The top-ranked University of Hawaii Wahine volleyball team (14-0) will square off against Western Athletic Conference foe San Diego State tomorrow night at the Special Events Arena. Despite a less than sparkling 8-6 record, the Aztecs are rated as the WAC team most likely to give the Wahine a battle this season. UH coach Dave Shoji attributed SDSU's woes to a tough early season schedule (the Aztecs played have eight ranked teams on the road so far) and an injury to its top player, Jennifer Hamilton, the WAC co-player of the year in 1995. "They line up players pretty much the same way we do," said Shoji, who enters the match with a 604-121 win-loss record. "It's like looking at ourselves." ** Local Architect Helps Pitcher Make Hall ** Due to the efforts of Honolulu architect Maurice Kondo, former New York Yankee pitcher Larry Gowell will be recognized in the baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. Gowell only a had a five-week career in the Big Leagues but will be recognized because on October 4, 1972, he is credited with the last hit as an American League pitcher before the designated hitter rule was put into effect. Kondo, a sports memorabilia collector in his spare time, researched and documented the feat and submitted his findings to the baseball Hall. ** Sports Shorts ** Jim Colbert, the winner of four tournaments on the Senior PGA tour this year, will be among the golfers vying for the title of the Hyatt Regency Maui Kaanapali Classic on Oct. 25-27 at the Royal Kaanapali Golf Course. ---- Angelica Ljungquist and Cesar Jube have been named sportspersons of the month for September by the Honolulu Quarterback Club.

The vote was called for because former University of Hawaii player Bill Blanchette, of French-Canadian extraction, had expressed an interest in playing in the AJA league. "I expected (the decision)," said a disappointed Blanchette. "I respect it, but I disagree with it." AJA president Homer Sheldon said the unanimous vote surprised him. "I thought there might be some objections by some of the managers," he said. Blanchette, who questioned the legality of allowing a racially-exclusive league to use city parks, said he doesn't plan to pursue the matter in court. "I'm not an attacking kind of guy," said Blanchette. ** UH Seeks Bid ** The University of Hawaii athletic department put out a call for bids for exclusive television rights to broadcast Rainbow sports. Bids must be tendered by October 25 and guarantee a minimum of $750,000 a year and that broadcasts be available to 80 percent of Hawaii's television households and to at least a million TV households west of the Rocky Mountains. Oceanic Cablevision, which recently laid a $1.2 million offer on the table, and KFVE, the current broadcast rights holder, are the leading candidates to land the new contract. ** Former Wahine Hoopster to Finland ** Hard-charging UH Wahine basketball player Tania Brunton has come to an agreement to play professionally in Finland. Hawaii's leading scorer last season, Brunton said she's glad to have a chance to play for pay. "I've been waiting all this time. I didn't think I'd be going anywhere," she said.

She also earned a bachelor's degree in recreation in May. ** Small College Volleyball News ** Sharon Peterson will tangle with two of her former players when UH-Hilo takes on Chaminade in a women's small college volleyball match tomorrow night at McCabe Gym. Peterson's UHH Vulcans have struggled and are 4-7 this season. On the other hand, Chaminade (10-5), led by head coach Glennie Adams and assistant Tanya Fuamatu, both products of Peterson's Vulcan program, are doing well. "Even though I want to beat them, I cannot help but feel proud for them," admitted Peterson. "I guess you could say it's all part of the Vulcan tradition." ---- BYUH middle blocker Arlete Silva was named the Hawaii Intercollegiate Athletic Conference player of the week. Only a freshman, Silva had a total of 24 kills, seven blocks, and two aces in a pair of matches against Chaminade last week. ** Sports Shorts ** On Saturday, the BYU-Hawaii men's soccer team will travel to Kaneohe to take on Hawaii Pacific at the Sea Warriors' windward campus field.

The tournament, scheduled for January, was supposed to include UH, Miami, Texas, and Louisiana State. However, AdCraft Association, the tournament sponsor, withdrew its financial backing because of change in ownership. ---- Hawaii surfers Sunny Garcia and Ross Williams moved into the third round of the Coca-Cola Figueira Pro after second round triumphs yesterday in Portugal. A quartet of other Hawaii surfers--John Shimooka, Conan Hayes, Kalani Robb, and Shane Dorian--will compete in the second round today. ---- Because of a scheduling conflict, the UH football team will take on San Diego State on Friday, October 11, instead of Saturday, October 12 as originally planned. The game site, Jack Murphy Stadium, has been reserved for a possible San Diego Padre baseball playoff game on 10/12, necessitating the switch. UH coach Fred vonAppen expressed his displeasure with the change since the Rainbows will only have four days to prepare for the game instead of five. UH will host Colorado State this Saturday at Aloha Stadium while San Diego State has a bye. ---- The UH Wahine (15-0) maintained their position atop both the Volleyball Magazine and USA Today/AVCA Top 25 Polls.

"Now I can remind them they are the No. 1 team," said BYUH coach Wilfred Navalta. "I'm going to expect them to train and play like the No. 1 team. The good thing is we've been there before. I'm sure the girls will take it all in stride." The Seasiders will host UH-Hilo on Friday and Saturday at Cannon Activities Center in Laie. Hawaii Pacific, which takes to road this weekend for the Western Oregon State Tournament, moved from 15th to 8th in the NAIA poll. ** Hawaii Surf Team Set ** A team from Hawaii will compete at the World Amateur Surfing Championships at Huntington Beach, Calif. this weekend.

Under nearly cloudless skies and with a faint trace of wind, Offshore paddled to their 10th Channel victory. Their winning time was the third slowest in the history of the race that begins at Molokai's Hale O Lono Harbor and ends at Waikiki's Duke Kahanamoku Beach. "It was like a lake out there," said Offshore's JoJo Toeppner. "But we did what we had to do to win." Australia finished second, just over five minutes behind Offshore. Outrigger, a co-favorite entering the race, was the first Hawaii club to cross the line, finishing third overall in 6:52:03. Said Outrigger's Kisi Haine, "It just didn't work for us today. It's very disappointing." ==Na Wahine O Ke Kai Top 10 Finishers== 1. Offshore 6:46:33 2. Australia 6:51:41 3. Outrigger 6:52:03 4. Hui Nalu 7:10:49 5. Lokahi 7:12:57 6. Kailua 7:13:22 7.

Koa Kai 7:19:32 ** VonAppen: We're Getting Better ** Despite a 1-4 record, the University of Hawaii football is getting better, at least according to head coach Fred vonAppen. "We can't have this enormous preoccupation with winning or losing," said the UH coach. "That's the media's job." VonAppen insists that in order for his highly touted West Coast Offense to work, the Rainbows need to be able to establish a ground game. "We've been totally inept running the ball," he admitted. "Running the ball is no science. You block people and you run." VonAppen did commend his players for remaining positive despite the losses. "The guys are working hard. They're playing hard. They're just not playing very well. We have to coach better and they need to play better." The Rainbows will host Colorado State this Saturday at Aloha Stadium. ** High School Football Scoreboard ** (No. 1) St. Louis 47, Pac-Five 21 (No. 3) Waianae 17, Kahuku 13 (No. 4) Punahou, 48, (No. 2) Kamehameha 36 (No. 6) Waiakea 24, Konawaena 13 Kailua 39, (No. 7) Waipahu 20 (No. 8) Maui 30, Baldwin 18 (No. 9) Waimea 36, Kauai 13 Damien 21, Iolani 20 Farrington 7, Roosevelt 0 Aiea 16, Pearl City 7 Castle 17, Moanalua 17 McKinley 30, Kalaheo 7 Mililani 14, Kaimuki 7 Kaiser 35, Nanakuli 12 Radford 15, Kalani 6 Hawaii Prep 25, Kohala 14 Pahoa 19, Hilo 6 Hilo 19, Ka'u 0 St. Anthony 17, Lahainaluna 14 Byes: (No. 5) Campbell, (No. 10) Leilehua, Waialua, Kapaa. ** Sports Shorts ** Frank Pugliese and Sue Forbes-Kikukawa were the respective men's and women's winners at Saturday's 36.2 mile Haleakala Run to the Sun road race.
