The Vaqueros had four wrestlers reach their respective championship matches, and had one region champion, Harley Denison at 175 pounds. He pinned Ayden Rodriguez of Elko in the third round of the championship match.

Camron McMackin (106 pounds), Nathan Pritchard (120) and Nick Glass (215) each finished second.

Riley McCullar (132) and Xavier Phillips (285) each finished third, while Caleb Finley (120), Marciano Montano (157) and Brandon McCullar (165 ) each placed fourth.

They will join Sophie Workman, Shaylee Gavin, Nadera Muhammad, Maria Mendoza-Flores and Ruby Barrett-Reese, who each qualified for State with their performances at the NIAA all Girls Northern Region Tournament on Jan. 28.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
