With braided hair colored a bright red, Sharday Baker is hard not to notice as she goes through her sprint, long-jump and shot-put practice paces.
The Kadena senior says she wants people to pay attention once her events begin, though. Baker says she’s made it her mission to beat the nine-year-old Pacific high school records for both the 100- and 200-meter dashes.
“I know it’s possible. I can do it,” Baker said of chasing down a 12.26 second mark in the 100 and 25.52 in the 200, each run in 2015 by then-John F. Kennedy High School junior Regine Tugade of Guam.
