Kreutz and Kai selected for Hall

Former NFL All-Pro center Olin Kreutz and soccer Olympian Natasha Kai have been named to the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame.

They are scheduled to be inducted as the class of 2013 in ceremonies at the Honolulu Country Club on May 7.

Their inclusion will bring to 120 the number of Hawaii sports stars and contributors who have been enshrined since the hall began in 1978.

Kreutz, a Saint Louis School and University of Washington alum, was a third-round draft pick of the Chicago Bears in 1998. He spent 14 seasons in the NFL, all but one of them with the Bears before finishing his career with New Orleans in 2011.

Kreutz, 35, was a four-time All-Pro and was selected to six Pro Bowls.

Kai, 29, a Kahuku High and University of Hawaii alum, played on the gold medal-winning U. S. Olympic team in 2008. She also played for the U. S. national team in 2006.

Kai was a three-time Western Athletic Conference player of the year at UH.
