Lacey Uchida • golf

Uchida is a two-time honoree in this space, and she still hasn’t started her sophomore year at Waiakea.

In addition to featuring impeccable timing, she’s also handy with her clubs.

Uchida qualified for mainland golf tournaments on consecutive days last week at Waikoloa, sharing medalist honors at the Aloha PGA Championship along the way.
