Last Saturday, Madi Uekawa was part of the UH Rainbow Wahine swimming team that won the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation championship in Monterey Park, Calif., where a brilliant sunset closed her career.

The 2013 Waiakea graduate and UH senior team captain was on the gold 200-yard freestyle relay squad and also swam in the 50 free, 100 free, and 100 breaststroke.

“It was the perfect way to end my swimming career. I love my Rainbow Wahine teammates,” Uekawa said. “Especially as a team captain, I am so proud of each and every one of them.
