RENO, Nev. – Nevada Swimming and Diving head coach Brendon Bray and diving coach Krysta Palmer announced the Wolf Pack’s 2025-26 competition schedule, featuring a strong mix of home meets, road contests, and championship events.
The Pack opens the season with its annual Silver vs. Blue Intrasquad on Sept. 26, followed by home duals at Lombardi Pool against Cal State East Bay (Oct. 4) and UC Davis (Oct. 25).
Nevada then hits the road to face Fresno State (Nov. 1) before traveling to Houston for the competitive Phil Hansel Invite (Nov. 19-21). The fall slate wraps up with the Toyota USA Open (Dec. 3-6) and a home meet against New Mexico (Dec. 19).
The spring schedule features road trips to in-state rival UNLV (Jan. 23) and UCLA (Jan. 31), setting the stage for the championship stretch. Nevada will compete at the Mountain West Championships (Feb. 18-21), followed by the Zone E Diving Championships (Mar. 9-11). The season concludes on the national stage at the NCAA Championships (Mar. 18-21) in Atlanta.
The Pack returns a number of its top swimmers from a season ago, including Mountain West event gold medalists Scarlett Ferris, Enkhkhuslen “Huska” Batbayar, and diver Bailey Heydra. Ferris successfully defending her 100 back title at the 2025 conference meet to highlight her five-medal performance, while Batbayar claimed the 200 free crown among her four medals, and Heydra took 1-Meter Springboard gold for the second time in her career and took home three medals overall.
