He set three meet records, clocking 10.4 seconds in the 100-meter dash and 21.2 in the 200 meters, and leaping 23 feet, 113/4 inches in the long jump.
The 100 and long jump were called wind-aided, but the 200 was not classified that way.
"For Hawaii, that's a tremendous performance," said Jack Shepard, who compiles prep stats for Track and Field News. "We can go a decade without seeing a mark from there that comes anywhere near our standards."
But Shepard said none of those marks will be listed among the best prep performances in the nation in "the bible of the sport."
Shepard said he would have placed the 200-meter mark in the "top 15 or 20" in the country because it was not wind-aided. But he said even that won't be in T&FN because it is a hand-timed record. All state times are hand-timed, and only automatically timed marks to the hundredths of a second are accepted by the national magazine.
Automatic timers, officially used by the Oahu Interscholastic Association in its league meet, have been set up at the past two state meets, used only to break ties at the tape. But St. Anthony athletic director Patrick McCall said the automatic timing could not be used officially until the Hawaii Interscholastic Athletic Director's Association allows it.
That's exactly what the HIADA general assembly did last week. Pending approval by the executive board of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association, the timers will be used officially at all future state meets.
"It's a year too late coming, because I don't think you'll have times like that again for a long time," said Shepard.
Kamehameha catcher Dane Sardinha, Iolani shortstop Keoni DeRenne and Punahou first baseman Scooter Martines will be the first Hawaii athletes to play in the tournament, said to be attended by 250 major league scouts and baseball coaches.
The three will be among 96 prep players from 25 states who will participate in training sessions and games June 21-23 at Crosley Field.
Registration fee will be $50 for professionals and $25 for students with a valid student ID. For further information, contact Tim Freitas, a trainer at Kamehameha Schools, at 842-8503.
Dougherty, who wrestles at 65 kilograms (143 pounds), will compete June 20-22 in the women's world team trials in Las Vegas, N.M. A victory would send her to the world championships in Bulgaria in September.
