“Despite the challenges that COVID brings to our student-athletes, they have stepped up and delivered in the classroom,” said UH Hilo Athletic Director Patrick Guillen. “Credit should be given as well to our coaches for recruiting good athletes who are also good students, and for helping to mentor them through the challenges of 2020.”
