Kahahawai-Kekona brings elite contact, speed, and glue-girl value for Utah Tech
In the 2026 season, Lakaiya-Braessia Kahahawai-Kekona stood out as one of Utah Tech’s most reliable table-setters: she hit .392, ranked fifth in the WAC, tied for fifth with 14 stolen bases, and finished second on the team with 56 hits while also earning All-WAC, All-Defensive, and CSC Academic All-District honors. She’s the kind of infielder who adds pressure every time she reaches base, plays with high motor, and pairs production with strong grades and consistency. If a team wants speed, defense, and a dependable bat-to-ball profile, she fits.
