ed off at a fast pace, but Bush Of Nc.
Kinley soon took the lead and began
a squirt go yards from the tape HE

the Punahou star rushed TO the string

only victory In the track events. Smith
looks like a conner, and his perform

by any athlete. Bush also showed
plenty Of speed. but started his sprint
too soon, and weakened at the finish.
