Our state takes great pride in the accomplishments of our intercollegiate athletics program, and we look forward to another year of fast-paced and exciting play. UH sports teams are enjoying a level of success unparalleled in the University’s his- tory. Last season, the Warrior football team earned its third bowl appearance under the direction of head coach June Jones, and competed in a number of other nationally tele- vised games. The men’s basketball team advanced to postseason play for the fourth con- secutive year, making a dramatic run at the National Invitation Tournament title. And the women’s volleyball team, vying for its fifth national title, reached the semifinals of the NCAA Championship. We are also proud of the University of Hawai‘i’s commitment to academics -- our student-athletes excel in the classroom as well as in sports competitions. They are also exemplary role models who generously donate their time to numerous community activities. At the conclusion of their college careers, many of these student-athletes have made it into the professional ranks or gone on to become leaders in other fields. Such accom- plishments enhance the University’s overall international reputation. On behalf of the people of Hawai‘i, I commend the UH Athletics program for its unwavering commitment to excellence, and I extend my best wishes for continued suc- cess in the coming year.
