Hawaii high school longest state championship streaks by sport, 2024-25

Handing off a state championship streak from one class to the next is not as easy as a simple pass of a baton.

The 2024-25 Hawaii high school athletic calendar year saw some meaningful state streaks fall across the fall, winter and spring seasons, while others were successfully defended.

The longest active streaks spanning all sports being to Punahou tennis — it has captured 21 straight on the girls side and four straight on the boys.

But Punahou saw one of the longest streaks in the state come to an end, as well; Buffanblu girls cross country had its 11-title run dating back to 2012 snapped at the hands of Radford.

Other notable runs to end were Iolani girls basketball (five), Kahuku football (three) and Saint Louis boys basketball (three). Pearl City ended five-year runs for Moanalua in both boys and girls judo.

There were also breakthroughs.

Kauai High won the first state air riflery title for any KIF team, boys or girls, when its boys broke through in the fall. Kamehameha-Maui claimed its first state football championship at the Division II level after a runner-up finish in 2023.

Seabury Hall claimed its first boys basketball championship at the Division II level. The Moanalua boys and Konawaena girls recorded the first track and field championships in program history on Hawaii Island. Hawaii Prep girls cross country raised its first banner in D-II.

Campbell won the inaugural girls flag football championship and Radford boys volleyball broke through in Division II.

At the other end of the spectrum, Punahou's dynastic swimming and diving programs recorded their 57^th total state girls title and 50^th boys. Its boys tennis team has won 52 titles and its girls 49.

There were also special milestones as Kamehameha girls volleyball won its 25^th championship and Punahou boys volleyball its 40^th.
