Hawai‘i Battling After Day 3 of the MPSF Championships

MONTEREY PARK, CALIF.- The University of Hawai'i swim and dive team concluded the third day of the MPSF Championships, in the same position as they started, with the women's team sitting in second place and the men's team at third place overall.

The Rainbow Warriors crossed the 400 point threshold with a score of 412.50. BYU has a commanding lead on the men's side at 502.

Senior Daphne Wils turned in a stellar performance on the diving side, capturing first place in the women's one-meter event for the third straight time in her career. A day earlier, she was bested by Kennedy Cribbs of BYU in the three-meter, but on Friday, Wils score of 323.65, surpassing Cribbs by the narrowest margin of half a point.

Adding to the Wahines' point total was a first-place finish by freshman Kathryn Ivanov in the 100 breast with a finishing time of 1:01.74.
