The Hawai’i swimming and diving programs each turned in a strong start to year one under head coach Michael Stephens this fall, highlighted by a pair of school records, numerous top 10s and a dozen NCAA B cut times and Zone E diving standards.
The Rainbow Wahine delivered the highlight of the fall, setting a pair of school freestyle relay records at the SMU Invitational in November. The 200 Free Relay squad of Holly Nelson, Laticia Transom, Anna Friedrich and Gabrielle Scudamore swam a 1:29.63 on day one of the meet before the same four set a school and SMU pool record in the 400 Free Relay by clocking a 3:16.45 on the final day.
Additionally, the Rainbow Wahine turned in a total of 26 program top-10 marks during the fall while collecting seven NCAA B cut times and Zone E diving standards. UH also currently owns MPSF-best times and diving marks in 11 different events while holding 29 top-five marks in the MPSF.
The women’s squad has been led by Transom, a fifth-year transfer who currently sits in the top three in school history in five different events (50, 100, 200 Free, 100 Fly, 100 Back), while holding NCAA B cut times in each of those five. She earned MPSF Female Athlete of the Week honors following both meets this fall and is the conference-leader in five different events while sitting in the top 20 nationally in the 100 (16th) and 200 Free (12th).
