The Nevada Wolf Pack track and field team is the track and field program that represents University of Nevada, Reno. The Wolf Pack compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Mountain West Conference. The team is based in Reno, Nevada, at the Mackay Stadium.[2]

The program is coached by Shantel Twiggs.[3] The track and field program officially encompasses four teams because the NCAA considers men's and women's indoor track and field and outdoor track and field as separate sports.[4]

The men's track and field team was founded just after World War I.[5] In 1992, javelin thrower Kamy Keshmiri became the school's first three-time NCAA champion.[6]

Following the 1993 season, the men's team was cut due to budget cuts.[5] The men's teams had a US$200,000 budget.[7]

Postseason

As of August 2025, a total of 11 men and 4 women have achieved individual first-team All-American status for the team at the Division I men's outdoor, women's outdoor, men's indoor, or women's indoor national championships (using the modern criteria of top-8 placing regardless of athlete nationality).[8][9]
