Tatum Moku is at it again, making major waves in Hawaii track and field.

At the ILH championships Friday, the Kamehameha athlete won four events, breaking meet records in the long jump (18 feet, 7 inches), pole vault (12-6) and 100-meter hurdles (14.66 seconds). The other victory came in the 300-meter hurdles (45.41).

And it should be noted that her pole vault achievement that day, although the best ever at the ILH championship, is still 1 foot, 1 inch less than her personal record of 13-7.
