Paogofie an All-American

Chris Paogofie, a two-time Star-Bulletin All-State pick and 1995 defensive player of the year, has been named to the defensive backfield of the National Junior College Athletic Association All-America Football Team.

Paogofie, a freshman at Dixie College State in George, Utah, started at safety for Waianae High School for three seasons and was known for being one of the hardest hitters ever to come out of the Leeward coast.

The 5-foot-9, 190 pounder was also the Oahu Interscholastic Association's most effective punter and occasionally played running back.



MORE HONORS FOR LJUNGQUIST

Angelica Ljungquist, a senior majoring in political science at the University of Hawaii, has been named to the second team of the GTE Academic All-America University Division Women's Volleyball Team.

DUARTE THROWN EARLY

At Las Vegas, Hawaii's Myron Duarte, riding Shake Rattle and Roll, lost his grip early and was thrown in the bull-riding competition in the fourth go-round of the $3.2 million National Finals Rodeo.

In the four go-rounds, Duarte has managed to finish a ride just once.
