Championships History
UC San Diego dominated the PCSC Championships, winning both the men's and women's team titles from 2009 through 2018. Since Alaska does not support a diving team, they are automatically ineligible to earn a conference championship title. The last time the Nanooks placed first overall in an event at the PCSC Championships was the 2014-15 season, as former Nanook Margot Adams won the 100-yard butterfly event and the 200-yard medley relay team placed first amongst the competition.
