Governor James R. “Duke” Aiona Jr. presented to The University of Hawai‘i Athletics Department On behalf of the people of Hawai‘i, we send greetings of aloha to the University of Hawai‘i’s student-athletes, coaches, staff and supporters. Throughout the year, UH’s student-athletes bring great pride and excitement to our state through their outstanding achievements in a variety of sports. In addition to excel- lent seasons from baseball, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s volleyball and basket- ball teams, many others achieved historic success last year. The Warrior football team won a school-record 11 games while quarterback Colt Brennan gained national attention by com- piling one of the greatest statistical seasons in NCAA history. The Rainbow Wahine softball team won its second-ever WAC regular-season title and advanced through the NCAA Regionals to the Super Regional for the first time in school history. Also, the Rainbow Wahine golf team made its first-ever appearance in an NCAA Tournament and men’s tennis player Andreas Weber became the first Rainbow Warrior to ever earn a bid to the NCAA Individual Championship. Most importantly, we are all proud that our student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Their commitment to their studies, in addition to their athletic training, is truly impressive. We are pleased UH continues to promote excellence in both of these arenas. We join with all of our citizens in extending a warm mahalo to the UH Athletics Department and Athletics Director Herman Frazier for the steadfast commitment to excel- lence, as well as our best wishes for another exciting and memorable year.
