Roosevelt’s Macy Higa is right at home on the mat — whether it be for judo or wrestling.

Higa, a junior, won her third Oahu Interscholastic Association individual judo title Saturday at Leilehua.

Higa, who competes at 129 pounds, defeated Aiea’s Angel Tengan (ippon), Mililani’s Trinity Oshiro (ippon), Moanalua’s Faith-Joy Okubo (yuko) and Kalani’s Zoe Tateyama (waza-ari in overtime).

“To be OIA champ three times, it’s very humbling because when you reach that level, you’re competing against the best in the OIA and all of the matches are hard from beginning to end,” Higa said. “There are no cruise matches or anything.”

Higa’s previous OIA judo titles came at 109 and 115. She said the weight increase was more of a natural thing. This year, she decided to move up two weight classes to help the team.

“Having her move up in weight for her third one is kind of special in itself,” Rough Riders coach Ryan Shimokawa said. “She knew it would be more of a challenge, but she wants to score well as a team. She took it upon herself to work harder and train with bigger and stronger people.”

Higa won a state judo title her freshman year and was runner-up last year.

This year’s state championship is May 6 at the Stan Sheriff Center. The Roosevelt girls are the two-time defending state champions.

“It’s still a lot of pressure, and being OIA champ doesn’t really change anything,” Higa said. “Yes, it helps your seeding, but every single match is hard.”

In wrestling, she has competed at 112 at the state tournaments. She won a state title as a sophomore and finished runner-up this school year. Higa first tried wrestling during her freshman year.

As far as whether she prefers judo or wrestling, Higa said: “I don’t really have a favorite at this point. When I’m in season I really enjoy that sport.”

She’s been competing in judo for the past eight years at the Hodokan Judo Club in Manoa.

“The club brought her into high school well,” Shimokawa said. “We just worked on a few things, but she was great already from her club.”

Pearl City’s Jackie Fuamatu joined Higa as a repeat winner on the girls side and Kalani’s Czarina Pineda-Abaya added another title to the one she won in 2015.

Fuamatu beat Cassandra Tongi of Kahuku to take the 154 class and Pineda-Abaya, who won a state wrestling championship in the winter season, beat Mariah Spix of Leilehua to claim the crown at 115 pounds.

Kahuku junior Teniya Alo earned her first OIA title to go with the two ILH titles she won at ‘Iolani before transferring. Alo beat Pearl City’s Nina Seoane in the 139-pound championship bout. Seoane won the OIA title at 154 pounds last year.

Joining Alo as first-time OIA champions were Meagan Funasaki of Mililani (98 pounds), Roosevelt’s Xiaolin Mai (103), Kayla Odo of Pearl City (109), Mayu Wise of Mililani (122), Michelle Tanuvasa of Pearl City (172) and Moanalua’s Kyrah Hughley (220).

Mikayla Abe and Jennie Fuamatu of Pearl City failed to repeat with losses in their championship matches.

Moanalua’s Noah Wusstig was the only boy to repeat as a champion, beating Rodan Salagdron of Kapolei in the 132-pound championship. Andre Pagurayan of Kapolei took the title at 114 pounds to go with his 2015 title.

Other winners were Mitchell Funasaki of Mililani (108), Logan Garcia of Moanalua (121), Chase Wusstig of Moanalua (145), Mililani’s Colin Ikei (161), Kawena Esperas of Castle (178), Kailer Okura of Kalani (198), McKinley’s Laulii Iosefa (220) and Isaac Alapai of Kapolei (285).
