PAHOA – For the second time in as many meets, Kealakehe’s Cozette Wood and Waiakea’s Kederang Ueda led the way at this week’s BIIF cross-country meet.
Ueda was able to fend off a pack of Kealakehe runners – Levi Childers, Aiden Ankru, Cameron Cornforth and Archer Ankrum – as well as Waiakea teammate Austin Mohica to get the win in 15:51.75. Childers (16:10.28), Aiden Ankrum (16:20.58) and Cornforth (16:21.85) finished in second, third and fourth, respectively, while Mohica rounded out the top five with a time of 16:32.65
As a team, Kealakehe’s total of 27 bested Waiakea’s 44 and Hawaii Prep’s 49. The top Ka Makani finisher was Parker Smith, who crossed the line in seventh with a time of 17:02.56.
On the girls’ side, Wood’s time of 19:07.17 was nearly 21 seconds faster than second-place finisher Kekaihulali Halpern of Hilo (19:28.09).
Waiakea posted the lowest team score of 31, led by Kiralynn Kuramoto (19:52.23) in third, Shanay Ha’a (20:13.42) in fourth, Lia Ho (21:22.47) in seventh and Taarini Godbole in eighth (21:23.36).
