Tucked away on the campus of Waialua High School is a team many know little about. Using old and outdated equipment, hidden near the old tennis and basketball courts, the air riflery team practices with a combination of concentration and calm necessary to compete in the precise sport.<\/p>\n

It hasn’t been easy for the team made up of band musicians, junior varsity football players and academic club members. But the students are building a program that until this year, could not fill a complete boys and girls team.<\/p>\n

The Bulldogs are in their first season as a full-time sport, and as expected they’ve taken their lumps. Just how much, no one is sure. As mostly a part-time activity, no data exists that records their history. But with hard work and careful practice, that has changed.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 14, the team scored its first overall and category win. Waialua swept all categories with senior and co-captain Khriscel Mina taking top honors at the Postal Air Rifle Match, including highest score for girls (365), high scorer – dual match (365) and the girl’s team victory (1,312).<\/p>\n

Mina, one of only two returning team members, is excited about the growth of the team.<\/p>\n

“It is really good to have more students come out for air riflery,” she said. “It is great that we have enough girls so we also can compete on team points.”<\/p>\n

Coach David Warman said the senior leadership of Mina and co-captain Sonja Lausterer has been an important and ongoing step, in the team’s future successes.<\/p>\n

“They are the ones that the team will look up to. Not only will the new members look to them as team co-captains, but as leaders with experience.”<\/p>\n

Lausterer leads the overall air rifle team points for Waialua High School with 970 in three recorded matches.<\/p>\n

The day was more than a celebration of girl power as the boys also won their team match with 1,023 points.<\/p>\n

Freshman and boys team captain Aezar Curammeng led the way with a high score of 321 points. Curammeng is the season points leader for the boys with 664 points in three matches.<\/p>\n

But regardless of the results, it’s the camaraderie and experience that matters most, said Warman.<\/p>\n

“It’s all about having fun, just go out there and do your best, but remembering safety is a priority.”<\/p>\n

The Waialua boys riflery team members are Curammeng, Elijah Cornwell, Reginald Atchazo, Nathan Jay Bala, Marcus Pao, Jesse Dicion and John Villanueva.<\/p>\n

The girls are represented by Lausterer, Mina, Maria Garcia, Natalie Koch, Chalseah Shane A. Pascua and Cheryl Crabb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
