Nevada Athletics celebrated another successful term in the classroom as 73 current and former Nevada Wolf Pack student-athletes and 18 members of the Cheer team applied for graduation in the spring while achieving a department semester grade-point average of 3.21.

The 73 graduates earned degrees in a wide range of fields and achieved a number of honors.

Among the group are NCAA All-Americans Erica Lynch (Ski) and Lilly Urban (Outdoor Track & Field), 2026 Mountain West Championships Diver of the Meet and three-time Mountain West event champion Bailey Heydra, 2026 Mountain West Softball Player of the Year Hannah Di Genova, 2025 Mountain West Women's Golf Championships runner-up Anna Shultse, 2025 Mountain West Women's Tennis Player of the Year Amahée Charrier, Mountain West gold medalist Huska Batbayar, 2025 U.S. Women's Open participant Gabby Kano, and Nick Fazekas, member of Nevada's 2004 Sweet 16 Men's Basketball team.

The 3.21 term GPA marked the department's third-straight academic term with a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.20. The Wolf Pack programs were led once again by Women's Golf at 3.896.

The current run began with the department's 3.278 in Spring 2025 and continued with last fall's 3.211 figure.

For the second-straight term, 14 Wolf Pack programs posted team GPAs of at least 3.0. With Women's Golf leading the way, top Nevada programs included Women's Cross Country (3.710), Men's Golf (3.680), Women's Tennis (3.618), Women's Soccer (3.561), Women's Swimming and Diving (3.515) and Ski (3.504) each above the 3.5 mark. 

Nevada Football achieved a 3.040 spring GPA, the program's highest since coming in at 3.012 in the Spring 2023 semester.

"Our student‑athletes continue to excel in the classroom, and I am very proud of their collective effort," said Nevada Director of Athletics Stephanie Rempe. "I firmly believe that 'Excellence Lifts All' and our student-athletes have demonstrated that both in the classroom and in our community this year with over 10,000 hours of service. [Associate Athletics Director, Student-Athlete Services] Kim Gross and her staff continue to do exceptional work with our student‑athletes – 14 teams above a 3.0 GPA for the second-straight semester including seven above the 3.5 mark is an incredible achievement."

Wolf Pack programs to have hit the 3.0 mark in all 11 semesters since the return to in-person learning in Spring 2021 are Women's Golf, Women's Soccer, Women's Swimming and Diving,  Women's Tennis, Women's Basketball (3.165 in Spring 2026), Women's Track & Field (3.264), Softball (3.257), Men's Cross Country (3.114), and Men's Tennis (3.330).
