The Rainbow Wahine have posted four consecutive top-four finishes at the Big West Championship dating back to 2022.

Prior to this stretch, the 'Bows put up just two top-four outdoor conference finishes in 20 seasons.
Hawai'i will begin this weekend's action with three points already on the board from
