Nakagawa, who grew up in Pearl City, is a Punahou School graduate and former soccer standout. She earned an undergraduate degree from Puget Sound and a master’s degree from Oregon State. She also worked as assistant trainer at OSU.
Lawrence Lam also has returned to UH as an assistant athletic trainer. Lam previously worked as a graduate assistant at UH.

Congrats to Lyn Nakagawa!
Congrats Miss Lyn
This is one of those moves whose impact probably will go unnoticed. But Lyn and Lawrence — L&L — are solid hires. It starts with the health and well being of the student-athletes.
Dr. Kagawa — “Bobby K” in the slow-pitch softball world — was in the blog host’s wedding party in 1982.
