KAPALAMA HEIGHTS - On the strength of distance runner Dakota Grossman and sprinter Alyssa Bettendorf, Seabury Hall made history by becoming the first Maui team to capture the Island Movers state girls' track championship.Kamehameha-Kapalama, on its home field of Kunuiakea Stadium, won its first state boys' crown since 2005."All that work we put in, listening to our coaches, just paid off in the end," double champion Dylan Kane said.Three meet records were established: Punahou's Jac Hebert ran the 1,500 meters in 4:01.23, breaking the mark of 4:01.92 by Island School's Pierce Murphy in 2011.Kamehameha's Kaeo Kruse shattered Murphy's record of 8:52.44 in the 3000 with a time of 8:43.12Bettendorf ran the 200 in 24.68, breaking the previous mark of 25.04 set by 'Iolani's Lauran Dignam in 2002. Runner-up Diamond Briscoe of Pearl City also broke the mark at 24.79.Seabury Hall took the meet easily with 73 points. Runner-up Hilo was a distant second with 38 points. Perennial powerhouse and five-time defending champion Punahou was third with 34 points.Kamehameha amassed 83 points to runner-up Punahou's 53. Two-time defending champion Baldwin was third with 48 points.It was an incredible run for Seabury's Grossman, a four-time state cross country champion. She swept both distance races, including her fourth 3000-meter run."To finish that off my senior year is a pretty good feeling," she said.The 3000 literally got off to stumbling start. Seconds after the start, a collision resulted in a quick re-start. She said the restart did not affect her mentally and in fact might have helped her."I got all the jitters out, getting a good start" she said. "It didn't bother me so much."Bettendorf made a sweep of the sprints, taking the 100, 200 and 400. The Seabury senior had to rally to beat Briscoe in the 400."Last year against Diamond, I felt like I didn't have that push," Bettendorf said. "This year is my last year running on Maui and I just wanted to push as hard as I could."It appeared that Bettendorf edged Briscoe just at the line."I think the lean, I definitely needed that," Bettendorf said. "I felt that was the determining factor."Also taking gold for Seabury Hall was Amy Ozee in the high jump (5 feet, 2 inches).Kamehameha got help in various events. Kane took the 100 and 200. He missed the record in the 200 by three-one hundredths of a second."I was pretty stoked after the first one (the 100)," Kane said. "You just have to have a strong mind, tell yourself you can do it."Another Warrior winning an event, besides Kruse's record in the 3000, was Kayson Smith Bejgrowicz (45-02) in the triple jump.Hawaii Prep Emma Taylor swept the 100 and 300 hurdles, who beat 'Iolani's Lindsey Combs by eight-one hundredths of a second."I wasn't too confident," the sophomore Taylor said. "It was more hoping that everything I'd been working on all season would pay off. Lindsey's a very good competitor, so it was good."In a close boys' race, Kalani's Raymond Alves beat Punahou's Griffin Saunders in the 300 hurdles in the final 10 meters after the final hurdle."I was pretty sure he'd be in front of me coming into the curve," Alves said. "If I was going to pass him, that is where (the last 10 meters) it was going to be. I had to keep my form. "Another double winner was Campbell's girls' relay teams. The foursome of Jade Savaiinaea, Kameron Smith, Tristan Dulay and Sha'tres Ah Nee won the 4-by-100 and 4-by-400 with times of 48.54 seconds and 3:58.69, respectively.Ah Nee scratched from the 400 to give her teammates a shot at doubling gold. She is the sole senior of the quartet."I wanted the best for my team," Ah Nee said. "We wanted that record. I knew we had a better chance of winning than me doing the (400) and not placing as high as I would like to. I dropped out of the (400) to run a bether 4 (relay) for my team."
