Na Menehune swim team is looking to make waves in the pool at this weekend’s OIA Varsity Swim Championships. At last week’s OIA Eastern Division championships at the Veteran’s Memorial Aquatic Center at Central Oahu Regional Park (CORP), both boys and girls teams put up times that put them in contention with other public schools across the island.
Junior Nathaniel Wilson placed first in the 200 yard individual medley (backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle). He also swam the third leg of the boys 200 yard medley relay with Kai Ishihara, Hoyt Fujihara, and Christian Del Orbe that placed second overall with a time of 1:49.89.
