The Hawaii swim and dive teams split up to close out the weekend with a swim meet at UC Santa Barbara and a dive competition at UCLA on Sunday.
The Rainbow Wahine took a 138-124 victory over the Gauchos while the Rainbow Warriors fell 141-112.
Franziska Weidner and
Phoebe Hines paced the UH women to victory. Weidner notched victories in the 200 IM (2:01.98), 100 back (55.81) and 100 free (50.36), while Hines won the 500 free (4:56.65) and 1000 free (10:09.64), and finished third in the 200 free (1:52.65).
"It was a good meet," head coach
Dan Schemmel said of the women's victory. "We had a lot of people step up, which was exciting. The senior class had a great weekend. It was a total team effort and they did really well."
On the men's side,
Olli Kokko picked up wins in the 100 breast (56.07) and 200 breast (2:05.14), and took third in the 200 IM to lead the Rainbow Warriors.
Metin Aydin won the 200 IM (1:50.34) and second in the 100 back (48.99).
"The men's meet was against the defending MPSF champion, so we knew they were going to be tough," Schemmel said. "It was solid. I don't think that was a true representation of us. If we had swam the times we had swum earlier this year, it would have been closer, but it didn't work out that way."
The UH divers had a successful day at UCLA, highlighted by
Madison Sthamann's second-place finish and personal-best score of 314.83 on the 3-meter board. Sthamann was just four points shy of UCLA's Ciara Monahan, who won with a 318.83. UH freshman
Ivy Houser finished 3rd with a 309.83.
Jami Stone finished sixth in the event (251.85) and
Mariah Renteria finished 8th (228.90).
Sthamann and Houser each garnered NCAA Zone qualifying scores in the 1-meter competition as the 'Bows took a 3-4-5 finish. Houser finished third with a 277.50, followed by Sthamann (265.13) and Stone (246.53).
The UH swim and dive teams will both return to action in the Texas A&M Invitational, Nov. 16-18 in College Station, Texas.
