Zolten Poulsen paced the Maui Prep boys to their third straight win while Maui Christian won the girls title behind ironwoman Lila Sloan during the third Maui Interscholastic League surf contest Saturday at Koki Beach in Hana.

Poulsen won his third straight shortboard No. 1 title for the boys, and he repeated as the winner of the longboard No. 1 contest. Other finalists for Na Pueo included Seth Jucker (third in longboard No. 2 and fifth in shortboard No. 2), Bode Wheeler (third in bodyboard) and Tristan Richard (fourth in shortboard No. 3).

During the competition, the Lahaina senior handled the shifty, rainy onshore conditions better than most.

“Maybe I got the upper hand because I’ve been doing it longer and I’ve been to Hana a lot more times than everybody else,” Poulsen said. “The waves were super all over the place, but definitely some diamonds in the rough. It was super rainy and stormy, but yeah, definitely some good ones out there. Super grateful to walk away with a win.”

The Maui Prep boys can clinch the league title with a top-five showing at the final contest at Lahaina Harbor on April 25.

“We have a pretty solid team this year — everybody is fired up,” Poulsen said. “Hopefully, we can get it done this year.”

Sloan, a senior at Maui Christian, competed in all three events. She won longboard No. 1 and bodyboard and placed second in shortboard No. 1 to lead the Eagles to their first win of the season.

Her teammate, Thayane Colpas, was second in shortboard No. 2 and longboard No. 2, while her twin sister, Talia, was fifth in shortboard No. 3.

Sloan was exhausted after winning the last heat of the day — the bodyboard final — but she put a positive spin on it.

“I’m tired,” she said. “It was nice because I got to go in the water a lot. It was kind of all over the place. It was hard to tell where I was in the lineup. For Koki, the waves were great.”

The win puts Maui Christian in contention for the girls overall title along with Lahainaluna and King Kekaulike, which won the first two contests, respectively, and Maui Prep, which has been in the top three in all three events.

Besides Poulsen and Sloan, the other double-winner was Keano Jardine, of Maui Christian, who won the shortboard No. 2 and longboard No. 2.

Kaja Przeciechowski, of King Kekaulike, won her second title at shortboard No. 3 while her brother, Miki, of Kihei Charter, won his first bodyboard title.

The battle for the team MIL crowns and team state berth will come down to the final team event at Lahaina Harbor on April 25.

The next meet at Hookipa will be April 11. It will determine the individual MIL qualifiers for the first Hawaii High School Activities Association state surf contest May 1-2 at Hookipa Beach Park.
