Star-Bulletin staff

The 2001 Hawaii Junior Olympic Boxing Team is scheduled to compete at the United States Olympic Education Center in Marquette Michigan from June 16-23.

The squad is led by Waianae boxers Glenn Miyose and Ronald Cordeiro.

The two are cousins and ranked third and fourth in the nation, respectively.

Gold medalists will attend training camp from June 23 to July 1 and then compete in an international tournament with five countries on July 2-9.

Other Hawaii members include Glenn Dunnings, Kini Sofa, Rance Okano, Jeffery Pelen Jr., Brian Holbron, Sheldon Sarcedo and Keenyn Pahio.

The team manager is Bruce Kawano, the head coach is Doug Westbrook and the assistant is Wiliam Sarcedo. Past winners include ex-Olympian Brian Viloria and Waianae's Samson Guillermo.

Pan Pacific Festival adds racing to its slate

The Pan-Pacific Festival-Matsuri has added two sporting events to its usual weekend of international entertainment. The Honolulu International Triathlon and the Hawaiian Half-Marathon will be featured along with a block party, parade, bon dance and other cultural performances.

Proceeds from the event benefit non-profit organizations such as Hawaii Youth Challenge, which is the Hawaii National Guard's program for at-risk teens. Entry fees begin at $25 for U.S. residents.
