Nebraska Athletics has finalized new contracts with head coaches of four programs coming off highly successful seasons. Director of Athletics Troy Dannen announced today that softball head coach Rhonda Revelle, head track and field coach Justin St. Clair, women’s bowling head coach Paul Klempa and men’s gymnastics head coach Chuck Chmelka have all signed their new deals.

The new contracts for Revelle and St. Clair will both run through June 30, 2030, Klempa’s deal extends through April 30, 2029, and Chmelka’s new contracts is through April 30, 2028.

“We are proud at Nebraska that we just finished our most successful all-sports athletic season in 15 years,” Dannen said. “That is not possible without great leadership. We are blessed with outstanding head coaches who not only win at a high level, but who also value the experience their student-athletes have during their time at Nebraska. When you have coaches with that type of character, you keep them, and we are proud that Rhonda, Justin, Paul and Chuck will all be Huskers well into the future.”

Revelle guided the Huskers to a Super Regional appearance in 2025, and she is the winningest coach in any sport in Nebraska history guiding her teams to 1,170 victories. Revelle is entering her 34th year at her alma mater and has been a part of 37 of Nebraska’s 50 seasons of softball. Revelle has led Nebraska to three Women’s College World Series appearances and entering the 2026 season she owns the third-most wins of any active Division I head coach.

St. Clair just completed his third season as the Huskers’ track and field coach, and he has guided Husker men to a pair of Big Ten outdoor titles (2023, 2024). Overall, St. Clair’s men’s and women’s teams have combined for six top-three finishes at the Big Ten meets over the past three years, while posting five finishes among the nation’s top 12 at the NCAA Championships.

Klempa concluded his sixth season as the Huskers’ head coach in 2025 and has kept the women’s bowling program among the best in the nation. His 2025 team placed third at the NCAA Championships. He led the Huskers to the 2021 NCAA Championship, and three of his teams have finished third or better nationally.

Chmelka has led the Nebraska men’s gymnastics program since 2010 and has been on the coaching staff since 1986. Chmelka has led Nebraska to top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships in each of the past seven national meets, including a fourth-place finish in 2025. His teams have also finished in the top three at each of the last five Big Ten Championships.

Nebraska placed 21st in the 2024-25 Division I Learfield Director’s Cup standings, marking its best finish since a 17-place showing in 2010. It is Nebraska’s second straight top-25 finish in the Director’s Cup.

This is the second-straight season that the Spartan men have had a first-team All-American following Olympian Heath Baldwin, who earned a first-team nod in 2024. He was the first Spartan man to capture first-team honors.

Four Spartans earned CSC All-District honors in Nolan and Tyler Pritchett on the men’s side and Kate Stewart-Barnett and Valadian Pallett on the women’s side.

Nolan was named all-district for the second-straight year. Last season, he became one of six Spartan men to ever be named CSC Academic All-America, when he was named to the second team.

On the track, Nolan broke the school record in the 3000m steeplechase in the NCAA First Round with a time of 8:37.83. He also captured All-American honors in the steeplechase at the NCAA Championships. 

During the cross country season, he earned All-Big Ten honors, finishing eighth with a time of 22:59.3. Nolan ended the cross country season at the NCAA Championships with All-Region honors at the Great Lakes Regional finishing 23rd with a personal-best time of 29:45.7 in the 10k.
