The Nevada women’s track and field season ended Thursday, marking the final Wolf Pack team to complete its 2024-25 campaign. At the conclusion of the year for each Nevada sport, we will offer a final report card. Here is that report card for Wolf Pack women’s track and field.

Nevada women’s track and field

Preseason expectations: The Wolf Pack had a solid 2023-24 season, placing seventh in the Mountain West indoor championships before improving to fourth in the outdoor meet. There was momentum entering the season with the opening of the $5 million Reno-Tahoe Indoor Track, plus the return of five of the seven Nevada athletes who qualified for the NCAA West Preliminary, all of whom were underclassmen last year. That led to optimism the Wolf Pack could see improved marks in 2024-25.

Final record: Ninth at the MW indoor championships (out of 11); sixth at the MW outdoor championships (out of 11)

Athlete of the year: Lilly Urban — Two athletes separated themselves from the pack as Nevada’s top track and field athletes this year in Urban, a javelin thrower, and sprinter Magdalene George. Both made our Dandy Dozen list (the Wolf Pack’s top-12 athletes this year). Urban set the Nevada javelin record four times during her sophomore season, including a personal-best 56.89 meters to win gold at the MW Championships. She qualified for the NCAA Championships and placed 11th (55.27 meters) to earn second-team All-American honors, the highest national finish of any Wolf Pack athlete in 2024-25.

Best win: This category doesn’t necessarily apply in track and field, but we will highlight George’s school records in the 60 and 200 indoor. The sophomore from Nigeria won five medals at the conference championships, including silver in the 100 and 200 indoor and bronze in the 60 and 200 outdoor, adding a bronze in a relay event. While George didn’t win gold at the MW meets, she was the Wolf Pack’s top point-earner at the conference championships.

Stat to note: 6 of 8 — With Urban qualifying for nationals, Nevada has sent at least one individual or relay team to six of the last eight NCAA outdoor track and field championships. That run, which dates back to 2017, has included Urban; multi-athletes Nicola Ader and Nicole Wadden; steeplechase runner EmKay Myers; and Nevada’s 4×400 relay team competing at nationals. Prior to 2017, Nevada didn’t have an individual qualify for nationals since 2011.

Season in short: With the Reno-Tahoe Indoor Track opening inside the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, the Wolf Pack hosted four indoor meets before traveling to a pair of events in Albuquerque, including the MW Championships where it finished a disappointing ninth out of 11 schools, its lowest mark since also finishing ninth in 2019. That was down two spots from 2024. The outdoor season brought more prosperity as Nevada sent athletes to nine meets before the conference championship where it finished sixth out of 11 team, which also was down two spots from the year prior. The Wolf Pack set nine school records during the indoor and outdoor season.

Final grade: C+ — The Wolf Pack took a small step backward year over year with lower placements in the MW indoor and outdoor meets and fewer athletes sent to the NCAA West Preliminary. The Wolf Pack sent five athletes to the NCAA Preliminary round, down two from last year. Nevada’s five qualifiers were tied for the sixth most in the MW behind New Mexico (12), San Diego State (10), Fresno State (eight), Colorado State (six) and San Jose State (six). Utah State also had five. The season was boosted by Urban’s All-American year, which was fantastic. This program has been a middle-of-the-conference or slightly below operation for its 13 seasons in MW, with its facilities not really up to the MW standard prior to the addition of the indoor facility. That should boost Nevada in the future, or at least raise the level of fair expectation, as the Wolf Pack looks to build the depth require to compete at the top of the conference. The Wolf Pack will lose a couple of key seniors in Izzy Steerman (javelin), Natasha Chetty (high jump), Claire Nelson (distance runner) and Alyssa Carson (pole vault) but returns most of its point-earners from this season.

About UC San Diego Athletics

After two decades as one of the most successful programs in NCAA Division II, the UC San Diego intercollegiate athletics program began a new era in 2020 as a member of The Big West Conference in NCAA Division I. The 23-sport Tritons earned 30 team and nearly 150 individual national championships during its time in Divisions II and III and helped guide 1,400 scholar-athletes to All-America honors. A total of 84 Tritons have earned Academic All-America honors, while 38 have earned prestigious NCAA Post Graduate Scholarships. UC San Diego scholar-athletes exemplify the academic ideals of one of the world’s preeminent institutions, graduating at an average rate of 91 percent, one of the highest rates among institutions at all divisions.

The pride of Arkansas’ athletics came up short this weekend. The Track and Field national championships finished up on Saturday, with the Men’s and Women’s teams finishing in the top 10.

Arkansas track and field national championship performances

The ladies finished eighth with 26 points, accumulating points in the 400m, 5,000m, 10,000, and the 4X400m races. Roesy Effiong (50.51) and Kaylyn Brown (51.30) came in third and fifth in the 400m, respectively, while Paityn Noe gained eight points by herself, coming in sixth in the 5,000m and fourth in the 10,000m. Sanaria Butler, Kayla Davis, Sanu Jallow, and Effiong won silver in the 4x400m.

The Hogs also had participants in the 100m hurdles (Shania Myers), 800m (Jallow), and long jump (Funminiyi Olajide), but both missed the mark.

Three SEC teams ahead of the Razorbacks. South Carolina bested Arkansas by two points to earn seventh, and Texas A&M jumped ahead with 43 points to take the bronze medal. However, Georgia takes the crown by a large margin, putting up 73 points and outscoring second-placed USC by 26 points.

Men’s results

The Men’s track and field team came in third but was only one point away from sharing the national championship with Texas A&M and USC. The Razorbacks participated in nine events, scoring in six.

Long Jumper Henry Kiner placed third with a leap of 7.96 meters, while Uroy Ryan was 0.04m away from playing sixth and earning three additional points. The Hogs struck out on their long-distance race (10,000m) but went one for two in the middle-distance races. Ravaldo Marshall placed third, and Tyrice Taylor placed eighth in the 800m for a combined seven points.

The sprinters claimed the bronze in the 4X100m and 4X400 meter relays, while Jordan Anthony finished fourth in the 200m and won the individual national championship in the 100m.

Following the NCAA championship meet, Anthony—a receiver for the Razorback football team—announced his intentions to go pro. Rumors that the Texas A&M transfer was switching to track and field full-time have been floating around for a while, but nothing official surfaced until now. With his departure, Arkansas not only loses the 100m record-holder for the Hogs, but a speedy wideout for the football team.
