ADELAIDE SAAB
A freshman water polo player at Palisades High, Adelaide took first place in the female 14-17 age group in the Classic Distance Race of the Nautica Malibu Triathlon on Sunday morning at Zuma Beach. The Riviera resident completed the half-mile ocean swim in 14:03, the 17-mile out-and-back bike ride in 55:11 and the four-mile run in 32:55 for a total time of one hour, 46 minutes and 32 seconds—eight minutes ahead of the second-place finisher. Adelaide’s three older siblings—Kenny, Clara and Elena—all preceded her at Pali High. To nominate your favorite Palisadian for Athlete of the Week, email sports@palipost.com.
