The Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame is a remarkable institution that celebrates and commemorates some of the state's most outstanding athletes. It serves as an educational repository to recognize the athletes, pioneers, and collaborators of Hawaii's rich sports history, and to inspire young people to pursue sporting excellence and strong moral character. Every year, nominees from around the state are selected to receive the prestigious honor of being inducted into the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame. At the annual induction banquet held at the Honolulu Country Club, hundreds of people gather to welcome inductees such as Craig Petersen (basketball), John Smith (baseball), Glenn Young (soccer), Edison Miyawaki, Joseph “Nappy” Napoleon, Natasha Kai, and Olin Kreutz.
The Honolulu Country Club has hosted this event for many years, and the Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame joins the members' families, friends and supporters in congratulating them on their achievements and thanking them for laying the foundation for Hawaiian youth to aspire to. The University of Hawaii women's volleyball team received 49 votes but did not rank in the top 25 in the AVCA Division I pre-season coaching poll released on Tuesday. As the death toll was already 106, a mobile morgue unit with more forensic doctors arrived in Hawaii on Tuesday to help with the difficult task of classifying the remains. The Hawaii Sports Hall of Fame is an incredible institution that honors some of Hawaii's greatest athletes.
It serves as an inspiration for young people to strive for excellence in sports and life. The induction banquet is a special event that celebrates these remarkable individuals and their accomplishments.
