A member of the Western Athletic Conference, Wolf Pack Athletics is enjoying an era of unprecedented success on and off the field. Nevada sponsors 17 intercollegiate sports, and nearly every Wolf Pack team has reached program milestones and continued traditions of success on and off the field.
In 2006-07, the Wolf Pack won the WAC’s Commissioner’s Cup as the best overall athletics department in the conference. Nevada has captured 17 WAC championship trophies in eight years in the league, including 10 in the past three seasons, and every squad has advanced to postseason play in recent years. The Nevada football team has made three consecutive bowl appearances, while the Wolf Pack men’s basketball team has captured five consecutive WAC regular-season titles and earned six straight postseason invitations, including NCAA Tournament appearances from 2004-07. Nevada’s women’s swimming and diving team has captured back-to-back WAC championships (2007 & 2008), and the Wolf Pack softball team won the WAC and advanced to the NCAA Regionals in 2008.
The University of Nevada also excels off the field of competition. Nevada’s graduation rate, team GPAs and Academic Progress Report scores continue to climb. Over 100 student-athletes earned WAC All-Academic honors and 78 graduated during the 2007-08 school year.
The Wolf Pack has been named as one of the best in the nation and the best in the WAC in providing opportunities for women in sports in each of the last four years, according to the national Gender Equity Scorecard. Nevada has also been recognized by the Laboratory for Diversity in Sport at Texas A&M University for its accomplishments in the areas of diversity.
