Honolulu—The University of Hawai'i diving team will take on one more test before the MPSF Championship with the UCLA Bruin Diving Invitational beginning on Friday at the Spieker Aquatics Complex.
The three-day event will host some of the nation's toughest competition, giving UH a true test of making improvements before the conference championships, qualifying for the NCAA Zone Meet, and to better prepare for the NCAA zone.
Every diver from UH will be on the trip and competing except for senior
Jami Stone, as she has been battling back from nagging injuries. Sophomore
Max Burman is coming off a strong showing in the Wally Nakamoto Diving Invite from last week, where he took the first-place finish in the three-meter dive. Not to be outdone was junior
Victoria Moretti as she also captured the No. 1 spot in the three-meter dive on the women's side.
The 'Bows will face off with a field of 17 squads including:
UCLA PAC 12
USC PAC 12
Stanford PAC 12
Cal Berkely PAC 12
Utah PAC 12
UC SD MPSF
Cal Poly MPSF
Univ. of Pacific MPSF
UNLV Mountain West
Boise State Mountain West
Wyoming Mountain West
Fresno State Mountain West
NAU WAC
New Mex St WAC
Cal Baptist WAC
Missouri SEC
Minnesota Big 10
The competition will be scored the same as a zone meet with two lists of dives where the results are determined by adding up the two lists. Fans can follow along with the competition with updated results on divemeets.com
