MALIBU, Calif. – Pepperdine swim and dive splits up this week, with the divers heading downtown for the Trojan Diving Invitational and the swimmers staying at Raleigh Runnels Memorial Pool to host UC Santa Barbara and UC San Diego.
The Trojan Diving Invitational runs Nov. 12-14 at USC's Uytengsu Aquatics Center, with the first event set for Thursday at 10 a.m. The meet will be streamed on B1G+ (subscription required), with live results available on DiveMeets.
The swimmers face the Gauchos and Tritons on Friday, Nov. 13, at 11 a.m. The meet will be streamed on YouTube, with live results available to Meet Mobile subscribers.
The three programs have met in Malibu each November since 2022. Pepperdine is 0-6 all-time against UC Santa Barbara and 1-10 against UC San Diego, with the lone win over the Tritons a 107-78 decision on Jan. 15, 1988. Last year, UC San Diego won 201-93 and UC Santa Barbara won 194-100.
In their last meet, a two-day home tri meet Oct. 23-24, the Waves defeated Seattle U on both days and fell to Denver. Ansley Halbach set the program record in the 400 IM (4:26.39), and Ava Taylor broke five minutes in the 500 free for the first time (4:59.00).
