Kamehameha won the girls and mixed (3 boys, 3 girls) divisions, while Mid-Pacific won the boys. The winning teams all set state meet records.

The previous five state meets were held at Ke'ehi Lagoon on O'ahu.

Mid-Pacific boys co-coach Mark Hines said the teams raced into the wind to start the day, but had the wind at their backs once they turned around half way through the 1/2 mile course.

"There was an on-shore wind throughout the whole day but the sun was up," Kamehameha mixed team coach Kalama Heine said. "It was a beautiful day. These are the fastest times I've seen since the state (meet ) started."

The Mid-Pacific boys won their first state title with a time of 3 minutes, 37 seconds. ILH rivals Maryknoll (3:37.78) and Kamehameha (3:40.11) followed. The previous record was 3:43.31 by Punahou in 2002 — the inaugural state meet.

The Kamehameha girls won the first four state crowns before Punahou ended their streak last year.

Warriors girls coach Rose Lum said she opened things up after a third-place finish at this year's ILH championships.

She said she looked at paddlers from "JV I on up," and added "We formed a new team. It paid off."

The Warriors finished in 4:12.9. Mid-Pacific, the ILH champion, was second in 4:13.34 and league runner-up Punahou third in 4:15.9. The previous state meet record was 4:13.57 by Kamehameha in 2002.

Kamehameha won the ILH's first mixed state title with a time of 3:50.49. Two Big Island Interscholastic Federation schools were second and third — Kealakehe in 3:54.3 and Konawaena in 3:54.6.
