The Kamehameha girls and Keaau mixed crews share a few things in common, such as they know how to win under any weather conditions and their canoe paddling dominance keeps growing.
The Kealakehe boys pulled off the biggest surprise at the BIIF championships on Saturday at Hilo Bay, where weather conditions called for winds of 8 to 16 mph and frequent showers.
The Kamehameha girls simply dominated to a threepeat, finishing the half-mile race in 4 minutes, 40.81 seconds, a healthy distance ahead of Kealakehe’s 4:45.93 and Waiakea’s 4:48.43.
The Keaau mixed crew repeated with a blowout performance, clocking a 4:16.
