Johnson first;
Ernie top dog
About 150 runners, walkers and friendly canines participated in the fifth annual Bieni 5K Fun Run and Dog Walk on Sunday at the Hawaii Preparatory Academy cross-country course.
Overall winner was Ryan Johnson with a time of 22:39.30. Sylvia Ravaglia was the first female finisher with a time of 24:01.26. For the second year in a row, the top dog was Ernie and his human Ricci Bezona with a time of 31:54.
Bieni Kohler-Johnson, who graduated from HPA in 1983, died in June 2009 after a valiant battle against breast cancer.
All net proceeds from the event fund the annual Bieni Kohler-Johnson ’83 Scholarship at HPA, which honors four young women gifted in athletics, academics, or the arts; who understand their responsibility to work hard to develop and share those gifts; and who demonstrate a sincere commitment and willingness to go the “extra mile” for friends, family, or a worthy cause.
