This weekend, the University of Hawai‘i men's and women's divers will participate in the Ohio State Diving Invitational set for Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 at the Bill and Mae McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.

The invitational marks the third annual invitational held by the Buckeyes in Columbus, Ohio and the teams will be diving in the Ron O'Brien Diving Well. The one-meter springboard on Friday is scheduled to start off the lineup of events. There will be the three-meter springboard on Saturday, followed by the platform on Sunday to conclude the invitational.

The Rainbow Warriors will send All-American seniors Mats Wiktorsson and Magnus Frick, while the Rainbow Wahine team will be represented by freshman Stephanie De Lima, sophomore Raquel Bartlow and sophomore Emma Friesen.

"The diving will be very competitive on the men's side with seven of the top 10 teams in the country," said Mike Brown, UH diving coach. "The women's competition will be equally challenging."

The Rainbow Wahine have one more meet remaining in the fall schedule. The women host Oregon State Dec. 19 at 11 a.m. at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex.
