Rainbow Wahine Sign Kamehameha Star For 2005
HONOLULU — University of Hawai‘i softball head coach Bob Coolen announced Wenesday tht Kate Robinson signed a National Letter-of-Intent to play for the Rainbow Wahine in the spring of 2005.
Robinson, who graduates from Kamehameha Schools this spring, is a 5-8 utility player for the Warriors.
As a sophomore, she batted .500 on the state championship team. As a junior, she hit .409 and compiled a 10-2 record (0.53 ERA) in the circle. This past spring, she batted .341 at the plate.
She is a three-time all-ILH selection and earned first team all-state her sophomore and senior seasons, while garnering second team all-state as a junior.
