Hawaii’s Track Stars Shine Nationally | Honolulu News
Description
Two Hawaiian teen track stars just lit up the national stage—Penelope Stay and Avery Elgin, both from top Oʻahu schools, took gold at the USATF Junior Olympic Nationals. Penelope smashed her personal best in the 1500m with a blistering 4:47, while Avery soared to victory in high jump with a 1.65m clearance. Their first-ever national competition was no small feat, especially stepping up from local meets to face elite talent across the country. Coached by Michael Harvey of the Spartan Track Club—the club’s most successful season ever—they’re proving Hawaii’s young athletes are national contenders. This win isn’t just personal triumph; it’s a rising wave of talent from the islands that’s rewriting the script for track and field’s future.
