Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I mahi tahi ia ki a Rie Arikawa i te tau 1995. I muri i te wikitoria i te taitara rangatahi o Hapanihi, ka tukuna atu rātau ki te
1996 World Junior Championships i Brisbane, Ahitereiria, i mutu ai te 22 o nga tau. I te wa e whai ake nei, i noho raua ki te tuarua i te Whakataetae Junior o Japan. I whakawhiwhia e ratou to raatau taitara rangatahi a-motu i mua i te whakanoho i te 16th i te 1998 World Junior Championships i Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada.
