Dolan, Bartlett repeat in channel relay
Patrick Dolan and Kai Bartlett teamed to battle brutal conditions to win Sunday’s Kaiwi Channel Relay from Molokai to Oahu.
Dolan and Bartlett finished the 41-mile race from Kaluakoi to Magic Island in 6 hours, 25 minutes and 12 seconds, nearly two hours off their winning time last year.
Manny Kulukulualani and Billy Lawson were second (6:27:04) in the OC1 division while Mario Mausio, Adam Aea, Kekai Kamakawiwoole and Anthony Ortiz teamed to win the OC2 division, third overall (6:28:59). Lindsey Shank and Rachel Bruntsch were the first of three women’s OC1 teams to finish, 29th overall (8:35:06.)
Ten of the 50 registered teams did not finish the race, which was dedicated to the late legendary waterman Tommy Conner.

Gymnasts qualify for nationals
Led by Tracie Villanueva’s all-around gold, three Level 10 gymnasts from Hawaii qualified for the USAG Junior Olympic National Championships, which began Thursday in Minneapolis.
Villanueva, who competes for Hawaiian Island Twisters, won the all-around Senior B Division title and also took gold on beam, silver on bars and floor, and bronze on vault at last month’s Region 2 Championships in Shoreline, Wash. Teammate Kristi Hayashida was third all-around in the Senior D Division, and earned silvers on beam and floor.
The two were named to the Region 2 All-Star Team which will compete at an international meet in Costa Rica next month. Also competing this week at the national championship is Hawaiian Island Twisters’ Keaolani Cenido-Niheu, who was sixth in the all-around in the Senior D Division.
Also, Hawaiian Island Twister gymnast Jesse-Lee Pakele earned a bronze in the all-around and teammate Emanuelle Muehlhauser was fourth in the all-round of their respective divisions of the Region 1 Men’s Gymnastics Championship in Reno, Nev.
Pakele also medaled in four other events of the Level 6 division with a gold on vault, silvers on floor and pommel, and bronze on rings. Muehlhauser also earned bronzes in on pommel and parallel bars in the Level 5 division.
Hawaii had nine gymnasts qualify for the competition representing Hawaiian Island Twisters and Valley Isle Gymnastics.
