“Chanelle represents the state of Hawaii so well. This nomination is not only great for our school, but for the entire state,” said Konawaena head coach Bobbie Awa in a release. “She is helping put our kids on the map.”
Molina is among 755 high school seniors from 49 states and the District of Columbia who have been culled by high school coaches, athletic directors, principals and members of the McDonald’s All American Games Selection Committee.The full list of candidates is available at mcdaag.com.
