All appears to be right with Teniya Alo.
The last time we saw the phenom she was fighting through obvious pain to turn Leilehua’s Kayla Lono for third place at the state tournament after a shocking loss to Netanya Kang of Pearl City.
She missed the entire regular season with an injury that reappeared at states. She offered no excuses after the loss that prevented her from becoming the first girl to take four wrestling and judo golds, but it was obvious to anyone matside that something wasn’t right.
Judging by her perfomance at the Officials tournament for Kahuku, everything is right now.
Alo pinned each of her opponents last week, only allowing Lana Perez of Moanalua out of the first period. It brought her her second Officials title and jumped her over inactive two-time state champ Donavyn Futa of Kamehameha on Hawaii Prep World’s pound-for-pound rankings.
Alexis Encinas of Lahainaluna and Pearl City’s Mikayla Abe made the biggest jumps in the rankings thanks to dominating performances at Leilehua.
