Punahou rules the mat
By Paul Honda
Honolulu Star Bulletin
Even at ancient Punahou School, there are still feats and firsts.
Last night, the Buffanblu captured the boys and girls team titles at the Chevron/HHSAA State Wrestling Championships at Neal Blaisdell Arena.
The boys won their third state crown in a row – coming after a 28-year drought – while the Punahou girls took their first crown.
“This group over the last five, six years has really gotten it,” Punahou coach Matt Oney said. “Both the boys and girls winning it, that’s really important for our program. We practice as one team and the girls give to the boys, and the boys give to the girls.”
Punahou’s boys won by a decisive margin, accumulating 222 points. Kaiser followed with 164 and Lahainaluna placed third with 111. Kamehameha (107) and Pearl City (67) rounded out the top five.
The Buffanblu girls had a tougher go, racking up 150.5 points to Kahuku’s 122. Campbell (87), Aiea (86.5) and Pearl City (81.5) followed.
Punahou is just the second school to win girls and boys wrestling championships in the same year. Kahuku was the first back in 2006.

Buffanblu girls claim first crown
By KYLE SAKAMOTO
Advertiser Staff Writer
The Punahou girls won their first Chevron/HHSAA State Wrestling Championships yesterday, and a couple of their wrestlers redeemed themselves in their senior years.
Punahou won with 150.5 points, defending champion Kahuku was second with 122 and ‘Aiea was third with 87 at Neal Blaisdell Arena.
The Buffanblu’s Jenny Ojerio (140 pounds) and Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (155) won state championships, and Punahou had top 5 finishes in seven of the 11 weight classes.
“I’m so proud of them,” said Punahou coach Matt Oney. “They’ve worked hard for lots and lots of years. We’ve had a really solid group of girls, but just not enough of them numbers-wise. This year, they really, really did a great job. Young and old came together.”
Oney added he had 15 girls on the roster, and 10 of them qualified for the state tournament.
Ojerio and Macfarlane, both four-year letterwinners, won their first state titles.
