The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) has completed the 2025-26 academic year with six national championships, a new single-year all-time record for the 34-year-old conference. The MPSF had previously turned in a high of five national championships during the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2015-16, and 2023-24 years.
The conference has won at least four titles in 18 of the last 22 years, and at least two in all but one of its 34 years. With the six national championships this year, the MPSF has reached 127 since its inaugural year of 1992-93.
The MPSF’s most recent and record-setting national title took place this past weekend, when the University of Washington Men’s Rowing program captured its third-straight, and 22nd overall Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) championship. Earlier in May, UCLA Beach Volleyball took home its third NCAA title which tied the MPSF’s single-year record with a fifth championship. The conference posted two national titles in April, with USC’s eighth women’s water polo championship and Stanford Men’s Gymnastics winning its 11th.
Stanford’s Artistic Swimming squad also recorded its 11th title following the 14th championship for UCLA Men’s Water Polo to kick-off the 2025-26 year.
The MPSF will enter the 2026-27 academic year with 117 NCAA Championships, leading the nation amongst Division-I Non-Power Four Conferences.
