Dustin Texeira of Kahului and Brandon Sato of Kihei, who just graduated from Maui High School, will represent Hawai'i at the national finals of the Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills in Dearborn, Mich., on June 26.

This is the 14th time that a Maui High team will be representing the state at the national finals, and teams from the Kahului campus won the national title in 1995 and 2000.

The Maui team, coached by auto technician instructor Neill Nakamura, and 49 others will face off in a timed challenge to diagnose and repair deliberately bugged 2007 Ford Fusions at the Ford World Headquarters.
