KOHALA COAST — There was barely a ripple of surf, but still plenty of action in the water on Saturday morning, as more than 200 swimmers gathered for the Hapuna Rough Water swim.
Ku’uleionalani Patterson found herself at the front of the pack, finishing the 1-mile course in 22 minutes and 26 seconds. She was followed closely by Weylin Foo (22:32), the top male finisher, and Bodhi Whitmore (22:32) in third.
Patterson has been towards the top of the results at many of the open water swims over the last two years, including a top five finish among females at Hapuna last year and third overall honors at the Cinco De Mayo Splash in May.
