Cameron Hamilton, 42, of Arlington, Va., took top honors in the 23rd annual Dewey Beach Triathlon Sept. 12. His time of 1:03.59 was first among 520 overall participants.

Marley Rave of Silver Spring, Md., took top female honors, placing 29th overall with a time of 1:15.16.

Due to the effects of Hurricane Dorian, high waves and rip currents caused the half-mile swim to be replaced by a half-mile sand sprint.
