The Gaucho men claimed 23 straight from 1979-2001. UC Davis (2010 - men & women) and Hawai'i (1987 - women) are also previous Big West title holders back competing in the league.
Hawai’i swept the men’s and women’s swimming and diving championships with UC Santa Barbara as runners-up a year ago in competition in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), where all six Big West member-institutions previously competed. Big West student-athletes and coaches claimed nine of the 10 MPSF individual awards in 2024.
