<h4>Siblings win men’s, women’s overall titles<br></h4>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sixteen-year-old Cohen Bruner of Hilton Head Island beat runner-up Kenny Geist by 4.46 seconds Saturday morning to win the annual Beaufort River Swim.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But in the future, it could be it isn’t Geist that Bruner has to watch out for.&nbsp;</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It’s Cohen’s younger sister.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Skyler Bruner, 14, was only 8 seconds or so behind in the 3.2-mile race. Fast enough at 47:29 to win the overall women’s title.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>“I’ll catch him next year,” Skyler Bruner said.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Cohen Bruner’s time was 47:21. Cohen and Skyler’s father, Carlton Bruner, swam for the United States in the 1996 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>According to Betsy Hinderliter, the director of marketing and development for the Beaufort-Jasper YMCA of the Lowcountry, there were 147 swimmers entered in the 3.2-mile race and a record-high 28 in the fun swim.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And most importantly, the YMCA raised more than $15,000 for the Y Learn To Swim program.</p>
