The Kodiak 10-year-old won the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 6 minutes, 44.22 seconds and placed fifth in her age group with 113 points.
Morgan Hagen was the sixth-best point-scorer in the girls’ 14-and-under division with 44 points, while Tommy Neo was eighth in the boys’ 10-and-under class with 78 points.
Kelly Neo’s 30 points placed her 22nd in the standings for the girls’ 11-and 11-12-year-old division, while Cody Hubert’s 27 points earned him 25th place in the boys’ 15-and-over division.
Kodiak’s Emily Neo also competed in the meet, where Kodiak’s girls and boys both placed 12th.
Former Kodiak residents PJ Foy and Cathy Foy — now residents of Juneau — were honored with big awards at the meet.
PJ Foy was named the outstanding male athlete of the year, while his mother, Cathy Foy, earned the John Abrams Outstanding Official Award.
