Through day 2 of the 2026 Mountain West Championships, there was quite a bit of movement in the team standings. San Diego State, the 4x defending champions, have jumped into the lead, and a healthy lead at that. Washington State, who were leading after day 1, have slipped into 3rd, while UNLV has popped into 2nd.

While San Diego State and UNLV were the big winners team-wise on day 2, it was Nevada that got out to the hot start. The Thursday finals session kicked off with Nevada junior Scarlett Ferris throwing down a dominant win in the 100 fly. Ferris popped a 51.34, marking a massive improvement over her career best of 52.66. Additionally, Ferris has now punched her ticket to next month’s NCAA Championships, as she won the conference title and her time was under the NCAA qualifying time of 52.52. On top of all that, Ferris’ performance last night marked a new Mountain West conference record in the event. The old record stood at 51.48.

Nevada kept the momentum rolling, taking the next event, the 400 IM. Freshman Jinjutha Pholjamjumrus clocked a 4:11.07, which came in just a hair off her career best of 4:10.97, which was swum at the Phil Hansel Invite back in November. Though it wasn’t a personal best, Pholjamjumrus earned her invite to the NCAA Championships, as she won and was under the qualifying time of 4:13.20.

Wyoming junior Tara Joyce then took the 200 free in 1:44.43. The performance marks a career best by half a second, as well as another new Mountain West conference record. The previous MW record was Joyce’s winning time of 1:44.97 from last year’s MW Champs. Additionally, Joyce earned her way to the NCAA Championships, as she was under the NCAA qualifying time of 1:45.53 en route to her victory.

Washington State capped off the session with another relay win. The Cougars saw Darcy Revitt (22.08), Barbora Mileisyte (21.58), Issabelle Parrish (22.47), and Addy Lewis (22.39) team up for a 1:28.52. They were just off the NCAA qualifying time of 1:28.26. San Diego State’s Alyssa Schiller had another noteworthy split, anchoring her relay in 21.74. SDSU came in 2nd with a 1:28.74.

The diving event of the day was 3-meter, where Nevada’s Bailey Heydra won with a final score of 377.00.
