A championship culture
The University of ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Reno has a rich history of athletic performance and achievement, with dozens of titles and championships across a wide range of men’s and women’s athletics.
In many ways, Wolf Pack Athletics is the emotional heart of the University’s brand, a sentiment captured in the “One Community. One Pack.” theme that deeply connects our campus with the people of the Reno-Tahoe region.
Wolf Pack Athletics is home to 15 NCAA sports that compete in the Mountain West Conference. Here, women’s varsity sports include basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swim and dive, tennis, track and field, and volleyball. Men’s varsity sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf and tennis. Wolf Pack Athletics provides a championship experience with integrity on and off the field for student-athletes and the Wolf Pack nation. Wolf Pack Athletics aims to be the model collegiate athletics program in the Mountain West Conference as well as the nation through the integration of excellence in academics, athletics and community. Wolf Pack Athletics is home to the Fremont Cannon, college football’s largest and most expensive trophy.
Wolf Pack Athletics has won eight Mountain West Conference Championships, with the most recent, in April 2022, coming from Men’s Tennis, who won their first conference championship since 1982. In 2021, Men’s Baseball became Mountain West Conference Champions for their performance in the regular season. That same year, the University celebrated our two newest All-Americans, Dillan Shrum (Baseball – ABCA, D1BB 2nd) and Nicola Ader (Track and Field – NCAA Indoor 2nd Team Pentathlon).
Wolf Pack Athletics was honored with the 2021-22 Mountain West Student-Athlete Advisory Council Community Service Award. It is the fifth time in the past eight years that ÁùºÏ±¦µä has earned the award, which is a friendly competition between Mountain West teams.
Through the Mountain West Student-Athlete Advisory Council, many of our student-athletes—across all teams—volunteered for community engagement activities. Through their hard work and initiative, they created a better environment for organizations they partnered with and enhanced community support for Wolf Pack Athletics teams throughout the Reno-Tahoe region. Our student-athletes completed 2,272 hours of community service amidst COVID-19 restrictions and served the Food Bank of Northern ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Girls on the Run Sierras Fall Program and 5K, Renown Children’s Hospital, Boys and Girls Club of Northern ÁùºÏ±¦µä, Reno Pride Parade and Event, Girl Scouts of Northern ÁùºÏ±¦µä and more.
Wolf Pack Athletics aims to exceed our high expectations where we inspire and build character in our student-athletes, our program, our university and our state.
