Nevada W 140 – UNLV W 101
The Nevada women moved to 5-0 in dual meets this season, celebrated seven seniors, grabbed three points for the Silver State Series Trophy, beat their in-state rivals UNLV, and saw one of the oldest school records on the books fall in a momentous dual meet on Friday in Reno.
The win for the Wolf Pack snapped a four-meet losing streak to UNLV.
Sophomore Scarlett Ferris was a big contributor to the effort, including winning the 50 free in a new school record of 22.65. That broke the old record of 22.66 that was set in 2000 by Nevada Hall of Famer Jia Lin Sun. Sun would go on to finish 7th (in short course meters) at that year’s NCAA Championship meet.
Ferris entered the meet .01 seconds away from the record, having swum 22.67 at the Phil Hansel Invitational in Houston in November. Her best time as a freshman was 23.04.
Ferris is from Scotland and her best time in long course is 28.04 from 2023. She sat out the 2024 long course season and hasn’t swum a long course 50 free since starting at Nevada, so her long course progression remains-to-be-seen.

She also won the 100 back in 52.50, which is faster than any swimmer in Wolf Pack history other than herself – she swam 51.49 last year to qualify for the NCAA Championships.
Ferris swam three races, with the other being the leadoff leg on Nevada’s winning 200 medley relay, splitting 24.05 in the backstroke. That Nevada relay finished in 1:39.99.
Ferris doesn’t swim on the team’s 400 free relay, but even without her they were able to win in 3:21.46 to bookend the meet. The relay included a 48.90 anchor split from junior Enkhkhuslen Batbayar, which overcame a 1.2 second deficit to give the Wolf Pack an exclamation point at the end of the meet.
Nevada won 9 out of 13 races in the short-schedule meet, with Batbayar being jointly or wholly responsible for three of those. Besides the relay win, she also grabbed wins in the 200 free (1:47.55) and 500 free (4:53.08). Batbayar has been a big addition for the Wolf Pack this season after representing her native Mongolia at the Olympic Games over the summer.
Nevada did most of their work in the front-half of the meet, leading 65-46 after the 50 free. UNLV fought back in the middle section, though, grabbing three straight swimming wins.

Freshman Grace Wharton won the 200 IM in 2:03.64, sophomore Maria Mendez won the 100 fly in 53.90, and junior Erika Carlson won the 100 free in 50.14.
Ferris’ 100 back win would stop that streak, and the Rebels would get only one win the rest of the meet when Heather Gardner won the 100 breast in 1:02.97. She had a fast front-half split of 29.18 and was able to hold off Nevada’s Sara Mihalic at the end of the race.
Other Winners:
Nevada freshman Keira-Lee Allott won the 1000 free in 10:08.51. While that’s not a best time, the NCAA altitude conversion puts the swim at 9:57.11, which would be 8.5 seconds better than her fastest time.
Nevada junior diver Bailey Hedra swept the 1-meter and 3-meter diving events.
Nevada will attempt to end the season undefeated next week on the road against San Jose State. The UNLV women still have a two-day dual against Wyoming next weekend and a dual against Grand Canyon on February 1 before beginning championship season.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the western slope of the northern Sierra Nevada above 5,000 feet and Yosemite National Park, above the Valley floor, from late tonight until Wednesday afternoon.

Minor accumulations of up to two inches is possible down to 4500 feet. The total snow accumulations above the 7,000 foot elevation, will range from three inches to as much as two feet.
Southwest winds could gust as high as fifty to seventy-five mph along the highest peaks. Such strong winds could cause tree damage.
Travel could be very difficult to impossible. Persons should delay all travel if possible. Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will likely become slick and hazardous. Visibilities may drop below a quarter of a mile due to falling and blowing snow. If travel is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is winterized and in good working order.
Persons in the Watch Zone are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a hat will keep you from losing your body heat.
