On national collegiate sport signing day, talented Hawaii golfer Kaili Britos signed a letter of intent to play golf for the University of Hawaii (UH) Lady Warriors Golf Team. Kaili toured and visited with several teams earlier this month including UH and CalPoly.

"I love the girls and Coach Cartwright at CalPoly," says Kaili, "but ultimately I wanted to play in my home town, study Hawaiian, English Literature and Law. Also, I'm excited to play for new head coach Lori Castillo." Attending UH will be something of a homecoming for Kaili who attended Kindergarten in Manoa at Noelani Elementary School right in back of the UH campus.

Kaili is a senior at Kamehameha Schools Kapalama and a long-standing member of Team Black Sand. Other sports she excels at include body surfing and outdoor and indoor racquetball. Kaili has one more season to play for her high school team where she is the number one girl golfer, captain of her team, and a three-year first team all star in the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH).

Kaili's next tournament will be the Hawaii State Junior Golf Association's (HSJGA) end of the year Tournament of Champions event. Golfers have to qualify by winning one of the HSJGA events during the season. The tournament takes place the second week of December 2008 at the Wailea Golf Course on Maui.
