LIHU‘E — Sixteen swimmers from the Mokihana Aquatics swimming program will be heading to Maui to compete in the 30th Annual Sakamoto Invitational swim meet that will be held at the Coach Soichi Sakamoto Pool on Maui during the May 28-30 weekend.
Coach Orlando Anaya announced that nine girls and seven boys will be making the trip based on their recent swim meet held at the Kaua‘i High School pool where swimmers had an opportunity to compete for qualifying times in various events in preparation for the Maui swim meet.
