"Keoni Ucker collapsed and crawled across the finish line in the Big Island Cross country championships before passing out again. He ran an 18:07. If he recovers, he has the potential to challenge Leilehua's Bryce Jenkins, as he ran a 15:59 on a flat course in October. Trouble is, Keoni doesn't like hills. Mac Crommett won the boy's BIIF title with a 17:24 (5k). Keri Ogden won the girl's title with a 21:09.
"Chelsea Smith-Wishard took the KIF girls title with a 20:20 (3 mi.). Waimea's Kaimana Girod took the KIF boys title with an 18:15. On Maui, Haley Grossman, a freshman, won the MIL title with a 19:52. Second was Libby Matthews with a 20:27. Molokai's Manu Adolpho, and Kamehameha's Kalani Rosell ran 16:56.
"It should be a very interesting race between Keoni and Bryce (who likes hills). Kon Webber will have a real fight for third. For the girls, it's pretty much wide open. Chelsea has improved greatly over her Kualoa race, and Haley Grossman is a real wild card. Haley Abing continues to recover from her late-season illness, and Julie Besenbruch is in good health."
