Hawaiʻi hosts Grand Canyon for its home-opening swimming and diving dual meets Oct. 23-24 at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex in Honolulu. The meets also mark the season debut for both Hawaiʻi diving teams. Hawaiʻi’s swimmers are coming off second-place finishes at the UC San Diego Triton Invite.

By the Numbers
  • Friday, Oct. 23: Diving at 4 p.m. and swimming at 6 p.m. HT.
  • Saturday, Oct. 24: Diving at 9:45 a.m. and swimming at 11 a.m. HT.
  • At the Triton Invite, the Hawaiʻi women scored 711.5 points and the men scored 678.5.
  • Hawaiʻi’s men swept last year’s dual meets, 117-107 and 134-129; the women split, winning 140-84 before falling 127-134.
Yes, But

Hawaiʻi has generally fared well against Grand Canyon in recent seasons, but last year’s women’s meets showed the matchup can swing: the Rainbow Wahine won the opener and lost the second by seven points.

State of Play
  • Both Hawaiʻi swim teams placed second at the Triton Invite, while each recorded a 200-yard freestyle relay victory.
  • The diving teams open their seasons during the Grand Canyon weekend.
  • Friday promotions include a Spam musubi toss, T-shirt giveaways and double H Rewards points for UH students.
What's Next

Hawaiʻi and Grand Canyon meet across two days, with diving and swimming sessions scheduled both Friday and Saturday.

Bottom Line

The home opener gives Hawaiʻi’s divers their first competition of the season and gives both swim teams an early chance to turn strong invite results into head-to-head wins.
