Native Hawaiian gets his kicks with Lou Groza award

UCLA senior kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn was the winner of the 2015 National Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award. Fairbairn, a Punahou graduate, became the all-time leading scorer for the Pac-12 Conference - a eon-

ference with a hundred year history. Fairbairn's signature game might have been on Oct. 22, when he led the Bruins to a 40-24 victory over the California Golden Bears. Fairbairn made four field goals, including a 60-yarder at the halftime gun, the longest in Pac-12 history. The Groza award is presented annually to the top collegiate plaee kicker.
