The Arkansas swimming and diving team finished its 2025-26 season in Atlanta on March 21, securing 28th place with a total of 23.5 points at the NCAA Championships.

This result marks an improvement of nine places and an increase of 18.5 points compared to last year’s performance at the NCAA Championships in Federal Way, Washington.

Sophomore Majo Sanchez led the team on Saturday with a 12th-place finish on the platform event, scoring 272.95. She concluded her second year with two All-American honors for the three-meter and platform events, bringing her career total to three All-American distinctions with the Razorbacks. Lotti Hubert also ended her first NCAA appearance by earning All-American honors during her debut season as a Razorback.

“Today was another great day for the Razorback divers; I am so proud of Majo once again,” head diving coach Abel Sanchez said. “She performed beautifully today and just missed out on finals. It’s been a long couple of weeks, and she has performed amazingly for Razorback Nation. Majo earned two All-American honors and Lotti is coming home with another. I can’t say enough about how amazing our divers are. It’s been an honor, joy, and privilege to coach them this year. Like any season, we’ve hit bumps in the road and went through trials; however, at the end of the year, the results speak for themselves. Go Hogs!”

Junior Harriet Rogers competed in Saturday’s 100-yard freestyle event, finishing in 31st place with a time of 48.13 seconds after an impressive debut season that also saw her earn All-American status.

The team completed its season with an overall record of ten wins and three losses: four wins to one loss at home, two wins to two losses away from home, and four wins without defeat at neutral sites.

Head coach Neil Harper said: “I am extremely proud of these ladies and our team. They came here and all had individual success fueled by being pushed all year by their teammates back in Fayetteville. To finish 28th as a team and improve so much on last year’s finish is exciting. For Majo, Lotti and Harriet to become All-Americans speaks to their dedication, our coaching staff and our program. All three ladies will return next year reinforced with our improved returners and a great new class joining us in the fall.”
