The swimming and diving programs at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa wrapped up their opening weekend of competition in the 2022–23 season on Saturday, October 15 at the University of Southern California Invitational, with a trio of Rainbow Wahine swimmers<\/a> turning in top-10 times in program history.<\/p>\n

Laticia Transom<\/strong>, a senior transfer, placed second in the 200 free with a time of 1:46.51 to give her the fourth-fastest time in school history in the event. The New Zealand native later put up a mark of 49.02 in the 100 free, good for the fifth-fastest time in program history. Gabrielle Scudamore<\/strong> also turned in a strong swim in the 100 free, clocking a personal best time of 50.36.<\/p>\n

Two Rainbow Wahine delivered top-10 times in the 200 breaststroke, as Mandolin Nguyen<\/strong> turned in a time of 2:14.86 to put her in sixth all-time, while 2022 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Freshman of the Year Kathryn Ivanov<\/strong> stopped the clock in 2:16.26 to give her the ninth-fastest time in the event at UH<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

The Rainbow Wahine also had strong showings in the freestyle relays, starting off the day with a time of 1:30.70 in the 200 free relay. The relay team of Holly Nelson<\/strong>, Transom, Scudamore and Helena Djunic<\/strong> put up a time that was just 0.31 off the school record in the event to finish third. In the 400 free relay, Nelson, Scudamore, Anna Friedrich<\/strong> and Djunic came in fourth in the final event of the day with a time of 3:22.28.<\/p>\n

On the men’s side<\/a> of the action, Milan Bukovics<\/strong> and Owen Ngan<\/strong> both turned in good efforts in the 400 individual medley, with Bukovics coming in seventh with a mark of 3:56.67 and Ngan in eighth at 3:58.11. Ngan then finished fourth in the 1650 free in a time of 15:49.26 while Bukovics fell just short of a personal best in the 200 fly with a mark of 1:49.71 to finish seventh.<\/p>\n
