The OC 16 Hawaii state swimming and diving championships are looking a lot like a repeat of the ILH championships.

The Mid-Pacific girls and Kamehameha boys hit the water at the Duke Kahanamoku Aquatic Complex looking like state champions after the first day of the meet.

The competition concludes today, beginning at 11 a.m.

Mid-Pacific’s girls had three different athletes qualify in the top spot on Friday, and they banded together to qualify first in two of the three relays. Lena Hayakawa was the fastest in the 200 free, Summer Harrison beat everyone in the 100 butterfly and Rebecca Walton did the same in the 500 free. Gayla McQuaid joined them for the best time in the 200 medley relay and 400 free relay.

None of them challenged records, but Punahou’s Jasmine Mau certainly did.

Mau, a junior, sliced through the water in 2 minutes, 3.92 seconds in the 200 IM, just missing Ashley Swart’s 2:03.80 for Kaiser in 2002. She will go for the record today at approximately 1:40 p.m.

The Owls qualified first in five different events; no other school qualified first in more than one. In addition to Punahou’s Mau, other top qualifiers were Yasmine Ware of Kauai in the 50 free, Beth Tsuha of Hilo in the 100 free, Anu Nihipali of Hawaii Prep in the 100 back and Aja Grande of ‘Iolani in the 100 breast. Kealakehe took the top time in the 200 free relay.

Kamehameha was nearly as dominant on the boys side, led by junior Ryan Stack. Stack took aim at Nick Borreca’s record of 45.24 in the 100 freestyle. Borreca’s mark has stood since 2001 but is in danger after Stack swam the distance in 45.95 seconds.

Joining Stack as Kamehameha swimmers to beat were Kaikena Naone in the 50 free and Kale Ai in the 500 free. Kamehameha also qualified first in the 200 free relay, with Kevin Hartley and Sean Terada joining Stack and Naone to beat Mililani.

Other top qualifiers on the boys side were Jacob Urbano of Kalaheo in the 200 free, Austin Hirstein if Island Pacific in the 200 IM, Renny Richmond of Seabury Hall in the 100 fly, Mika Kane of Kamehameha-Maui in the 100 back and Christian Kubo or Hilo in the 100 breast. Punahou was tops in the 400 free relay and Hilo ruled in the 200 medley relay.
