BALTIMORE, MD – The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) has announced the addition of the NCAA Division-III Connecticut College and Johns Hopkins University Men’s Water Polo teams to the conference, beginning with the upcoming 2025 season. The Blue Jays’ water polo program previously competed in the Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference.
 

Johns Hopkins Associate Vice Provost for Student Affairs, Director of Athletics & Recreation Jennifer S. Baker added, “We are thrilled to be joining the MPSF, and are grateful to [MPSF Commissioner] Foti Mellis and his team for welcoming Johns Hopkins Water Polo.  The conference’s commitment to excellence is evident in everything it does, and we are excited for our players to have access to championships, while competing against some of the best teams in the country. The MPSF continues to elevate the sport of water polo nationally, and we believe our program will thrive as its newest member.”
 

The 2025 MPSF Men’s Water Polo season will feature 11 teams. California, Stanford, UCLA, and USC compete in the western division, while Connecticut College and Johns Hopkins join Augustana, Austin College, Penn State Behrend, Washington & Jefferson and Wheaton in the eastern division. The 2025 conference championship, which will be in its fourth year of crowning a champion for two divisions, will be held at Stanford’s Avery Aquatics Center (Nov. 21-23).
 
Johns Hopkins is coached by Max Schlegel, who enters his seventh year at the helm, and has been on staff since 2016.
 
“I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the MPSF and the experiences it can provide for our players,” said Schlegel. “Johns Hopkins University Athletics prides itself on student experience and with this change, I believe our water polo program is taking a big step forward in that regard.”
 
Since the hiring of Mellis in 2021, the conference has added 58 teams, 30 schools, and six sports. 
 
“We are thrilled to welcome Connecticut College and Johns Hopkins University to the MPSF family,” said Mellis. “Their rich history of excellence in Division-III men’s water polo will bring new energy and competition to our conference, and we look forward to the exciting matchups ahead. Together, we continue to elevate the sport and inspire the next generation of athletes.”
 

Johns Hopkins is set to open the season on Saturday, September 6 at the Washington & Jefferson Tournament. The Blue Jays return their top three goal scorers, including a pair of All-Americans, from last year’s squad that won 12 games.
 
The MPSF has captured all 33 NCAA D-I Championships in men’s water polo since its inaugural season of 1992.   The conference enters the 2025-26 year with 121 total national championships, including four during 2024-25, with its 113 NCAA titles leading the nation amongst Non-Power Four Conferences.

Nebraska Athletics has finalized new contracts with head coaches of four programs coming off highly successful seasons. Director of Athletics Troy Dannen announced today that softball head coach Rhonda Revelle, head track and field coach Justin St. Clair, women’s bowling head coach Paul Klempa and men’s gymnastics head coach Chuck Chmelka have all signed their new deals.

The new contracts for Revelle and St. Clair will both run through June 30, 2030, Klempa’s deal extends through April 30, 2029, and Chmelka’s new contracts is through April 30, 2028.

“We are proud at Nebraska that we just finished our most successful all-sports athletic season in 15 years,” Dannen said. “That is not possible without great leadership. We are blessed with outstanding head coaches who not only win at a high level, but who also value the experience their student-athletes have during their time at Nebraska. When you have coaches with that type of character, you keep them, and we are proud that Rhonda, Justin, Paul and Chuck will all be Huskers well into the future.”

Revelle guided the Huskers to a Super Regional appearance in 2025, and she is the winningest coach in any sport in Nebraska history guiding her teams to 1,170 victories. Revelle is entering her 34th year at her alma mater and has been a part of 37 of Nebraska’s 50 seasons of softball. Revelle has led Nebraska to three Women’s College World Series appearances and entering the 2026 season she owns the third-most wins of any active Division I head coach.

St. Clair just completed his third season as the Huskers’ track and field coach, and he has guided Husker men to a pair of Big Ten outdoor titles (2023, 2024). Overall, St. Clair’s men’s and women’s teams have combined for six top-three finishes at the Big Ten meets over the past three years, while posting five finishes among the nation’s top 12 at the NCAA Championships.

Klempa concluded his sixth season as the Huskers’ head coach in 2025 and has kept the women’s bowling program among the best in the nation. His 2025 team placed third at the NCAA Championships. He led the Huskers to the 2021 NCAA Championship, and three of his teams have finished third or better nationally.

Chmelka has led the Nebraska men’s gymnastics program since 2010 and has been on the coaching staff since 1986. Chmelka has led Nebraska to top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships in each of the past seven national meets, including a fourth-place finish in 2025. His teams have also finished in the top three at each of the last five Big Ten Championships.

Nebraska placed 21st in the 2024-25 Division I Learfield Director’s Cup standings, marking its best finish since a 17-place showing in 2010. It is Nebraska’s second straight top-25 finish in the Director’s Cup.
