Corey Cabanban did that. The four-time state champion wrestler from Saint Louis leads the Class of 2018 announced by the Enterprise Rent-A-Car/HHSAA Hall of Honor.
Cabanban won the 106-pound division as a freshman, then the 113 weight class as a sophomore, the 120 crown as a junior, and finally, the 126 championship as a senior.
His final record as a prep wrestler: 110-1. The only loss came as a freshman. He was also named No. 1 in the Star-Advertiser’s Pound 4 Pound rankings as a junior (27-0) and senior (28-0).
He will wrestle for Iowa State next season.
Here’s a look at the rest of the selected student-athletes:
Saydee Aganus, Kamehameha-Hawaii: The explosive hoopster and trickster led the Warriors to the Division II state basketball title as a senior as their point guard and leading scorer. Aganus had 18 points and 11 rebounds in the state final against St. Francis. She also broke the 100-meter hurdles mark as a junior at the state championship. She scored points for the track-and-field Warriors in five events at the state meet as a sophomore, and four more as a junior and senior. Aganus has earned an appointment to West Point.
Teniya Alo, Hawaii Technology Academy: Cabanban’s exploits on the mat are equalled, perhaps, or even surpassed by the three-time girls state champion, who won USA Wrestling national championships in 2013 and ’15. Starting her career at ‘Iolani, then transferring to Hawaii Technology Academy and wrestling for Kahuku, Alo won the 122-pound title as a freshman, lost with a bad shoulder in the semifinals as a sophomore, but bounced back with championships at 132 as a junior and 138 as a senior. Alo also won judo state titles as a freshman (122) and junior (139). She is considering Hawaii or Colorado.
Andre Ilagan, Farrington: The durable southpaw became the first state tennis champion from Farrington — the first public-school state champ since 2010. Then, he repeated as state champion with a state-final victory over ‘Iolani’s Phuc Huynh this spring. He also collected four OIA titles along the way, matching and surpassing the achievements of older brothers Anthony (two OIA crowns) and Mark (one). He will play at Hawaii next season.
Taegan Keep, Kauai: If it seems like the modest, smiling senior feels lucky to be a champion, it’s because she says she never expected to be a champion. Keep, a 6-foot-2 center for the two-time KIF champions (and three-time leading scorer) happened to come out for the track and field team as a sophomore. One year later, she was a state discus champion, and she repeated as a senior. She will throw the discus at BYU next season.
Gwen Maeha, Leilehua: She is the second bowler to win three state championships. Maeha is also one of the top hitters for a Mules squad that captured their first state softball title last week. Maeha will bowl at national powerhouse Nebraska next season.
Cherilyn Molina, Konawaena: The Washington State-bound basketball standout was a two-time Star-Advertiser All-State player of the year. She was a four-time All-State Fab 15 pick in all four years, and was also an All-State pick in volleyball as a freshman. Molina’s teams won four straight Division I basketball state titles. She will join older sisters Chanelle and Celena Jane Molina at Washington State.
Taysia Pimentel, Seabury Hall: The induction of four-time state champion Pimentel marks the first time a paddler has entered the Hall. The four titles, a first for a female paddler, helped the Spartans usurp the throne from ILH powerhouses. She also placed fifth in the state shot put after winning the MIL crown. She will row at San Diego State next season.
Mikayla Tablit, Konawaena: A three-time All-State Fab 15 selection, Tablit’s prowess as a scorer, defender and surprisingly prolific rebounder sparked Konawaena to D-I state titles in each of her four seasons. She proved her leadership and ability as a junior, carrying a big part of the scoring load while Molina was injured during part of the regular season. She will play at UH Hilo next season.
Ally Wada, Hawaii Baptist: The versatile, two-sport standout was a three-time Star-Advertiser All-State Fab 15 basketball selection, helping the Eagles to the D-II state crown as a sophomore. She was often at her best against D-I powerhouses in nonconference games, a tremendous long-range shooter, playmaker and rebounder. She was a sometimes acrobatic setter for the volleyball squad, an All-State Fab 15 selection as a senior. She will play volleyball at the University of San Francisco.
Ryan Wilcox, Punahou: The 6-3 outside hitter is a two-time Star-Advertiser All-State player of the year for the Buffanblu, who have won seven D-I state volleyball crowns in a row. Wilcox amassed 45 kills at the state tourney this spring, including 15 in the final against Moanalua. He will play for UC Santa Barbara.
Veronica Winham, Seabury Hall: She carried on the legacy and tradition of Spartans harriers, winning the girls 1,500- and 3,000-meter runs at the state championships a week ago. She placed second in both events as a junior. On top of her track exploits, Winham has won the last two cross country state championships. She will run at Dartmouth next season.
The Hall of Honor banquet will be held on June 3 in the Pomaikai Ballroom at Dole Cannery.
