Scarlett Ferris and Moji Pholjamjumrus from the Nevada Wolf Pack have qualified for the 2026 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships, according to an announcement by the NCAA. The event will take place from March 18-21 at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Ferris will participate in the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly events, with an additional invitation to swim in the 100 freestyle. This is her third time qualifying for the national meet in the 100 backstroke. At the recent Mountain West Championships, Ferris defended her title in the 100 backstroke by setting a new conference record. She also won gold in the 100 butterfly, establishing both a Nevada school record and a Mountain West all-time record. Ferris received All-Mountain West honors in three events—the 50 free, 100 back, and 100 fly—and was named Co-Swimmer of the Meet.
Pholjamjumrus will make her first appearance at the NCAA Championships, competing in both the 400 individual medley (IM) and the 200 butterfly. At the Mountain West Championships, she won gold in the 400 IM and took silver in the 200 fly. She earned All-Mountain West honors for both events and was named Freshman of the Meet.
Preliminary heats and finals for Ferris’s and Pholjamjumrus’s events are scheduled throughout March 19-21 during nationals.
Nevada diver Bailey Heydra is set to compete at Zone E Championships from March 9-11 in Flagstaff, Arizona as she seeks qualification for nationals.
