Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
DART Swimming’s Hayden Young has committed to the University of Nevada women’s program as a part of the 2026 recruiting class for the Wolf Pack.
I am beyond thrilled and grateful to announce my verbal commitment to continue my athletic and academic career at University of NEVADA, RENO!! Thank you so much to my parents for always being there and making all of this possible along with my coaches and teammates for pushing me to be a better athlete and person. Thank you Coach Brendon Bray, Coach Adriana Contreras, and Coach Kristen Quigley for this amazing opportunity. GO PACK!
Young recently competed at the Speedo Sectionals in Walnut earlier this December, where she set a lifetime best in the 200 butterfly in 2:08.09, good enough for 33rd overall. Additionally, she swam season-best times in the 50 fly (28.08), 100 fly (1:01.03), and 200 free (1:58.11).
A native of Roseville, Calif, Young represents Del Oro High School. As a junior, Young set a best time in the 100 fly at the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section CHampionship in May in 56.92, placing 9th. A year earlier at the same meet, as a sophomore, Young turned in her fastest ever 500 free in 5:05.75.
Young also boasts best times of 1:52.72 in the 200 free from February’s Speedo Sectionals in Roseville. She also holds a fastest 100 free time of 52.88 from the Rose Bowl Invitational from last December.
Best Times SCY:
100 Free: 52.88 200 Free: 1:52.79 500 Free: 5:05.75 100 Fly: 56.92 200 Fly: 56.92The Nevada women finished 4th at last season’s Mountain West Swimming and Diving Championships.
Based on Young’s best times, she would have finished 30th in the 500 free, 33rd in the 200 free, and 48th in the 100 free at those championships.
Young sits pretty middle of the pack within the current Nevada roster in those three events as well; she would be 5th in the 200 free, and 6th in both the 100 free and 500 free this season.
Enkhkhuslen Batbayar leads the Wolf Pack in the 200 free and 500 free, but will have graduated by the time that Young joins the program. The 2nd fastest 200 freestyler on the current roster belongs to freshman Moji Pholjamjumrus, who will still have three years to develop alongside Young.
Nevada’s 100 freestyle is led by junior Scarlett Ferris, who has already achieved the NCAA Championship qualifying time. Currently, she sits at 48.03, over a second and a half faster than anybody else on the roster, and one of just two swimmers under 50 seconds on the team (Batbayar, 49.64). Young will have a one-year overlap with Ferris, but will have plenty of ground to make up the difference between her and Ferris in the 100 free.
Young joins Justine Lapierre, Ava Swigart, and Ana Schulz in Nevada’s 2026 recruiting class.
