Nevada Swimming & Diving will be well-represented on the national stage in March after a strong showing at the Credit Union 1 2026 Mountain West Championships, February 18-21 in Houston, Texas.

In a testament to the performances of some of the Wolf Pack’s top athletes, Nevada took home three of the meet’s top honors. Diver Bailey Heydra was named Diver of the Meet after medaling in all three diving events, winning gold on the 3-Meter Springboard and capturing silver on both the 1-meter springboard and platform. Her performance brought her career Mountain West Championships medal totals to nine overall and three gold.

Junior Scarlett Ferris was dominant once again among her conference competition, being named Co-Swimmer of the Meet. Ferris took home the 100-yard backstroke title for the third time in as many years, setting the championship meet record with a time of 51.07 and earning an automatic invite to the 2026 NCAA Swimming & Diving Championships in March.

The 100 back title followed her first Mountain West gold in the 100-yard butterfly, in which Ferris set the conference record with a time of 51.34 and earned an invite to the national meet.

Newcomer Moji Pholjamjumrus made a splash in her debut conference championships event, winning gold in the 400 IM and being named Freshman of the Meet. Pholjamjumrus earned her own automatic qualification to the NCAA Championships with her 400 IM victory and claimed silver in the 200-yard butterfly. She would take home her third medal of the competition, a bronze, by swimming the leadoff leg of Nevada’s 800-yard freestyle relay.

The Pack concluded the 2025–26 Mountain West Championships in fifth place with 861.5 points. Nevada swimmers and divers accounted for 10 medals overall, including four gold.

Ferris and Pholjamjumrus will now prepare for the NCAA Championships, set for March 18-21 in Atlanta, Georgia. A third Nevada swimmer, Huska Batbayar, will await word on if her qualifying standards in various events earn her an invitation to the national meet, which would give Nevada three swimmers at the event.

Heydra moves on to the Zone E Diving Championships, March 9-11 in Flagstaff, Arizona, the first step towards qualifying for the NCAA Championships.
