HONOLULU—The University of Hawai’i Swim & Dive team kicked off the 2026–27 season with a thrilling, down-to-the-wire Green vs. White Meet on Friday at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex. Team White came from behind to narrowly edge out Team Green by a single point, 166 to 160, in a contest decided by the final relay races of the night.

The final standings had Team White finishing with 11 silvers, eight bronzes, and eight golds—including victory in the women’s and men’s 400 freestyle relays to close out the meet. Team White led early but came up just short, finishing with 10 gold, seven silver, and seven bronze finishes.

Highlights of the intrasquad meet included Team White’s men’s 200 medley relay (Kristians Brenčs, Thomas Aguero, Jack Simon, and Alexander Tullberg), which set the tone early by touching the wall first in 1:29.94. In the women’s 400 free relay, Team Green A (Mia Blazevska Eminova, Aoife Harkin, Aziza Meyer, Rebekka Luoto) pulled off a razor-thin victory in 3:34.87, edging White A (Sydney McDonald, Eva Kovaluk, Zofia Tyminska, Klara Sophie Beierling) by just 0.07 seconds (3:34.94). Team Green’s A squad also claimed the men’s 400 free relay, as Victor Dagenais, Victor Krautsov, Arminas Murenas, and Regan Richardson combined for a winning time of 3:05.11.
