RENO, Nev. – Nevada Athletics continued its celebration of the 50th anniversary of Title IX Tuesday, announcing the launch of its Title IX Giving Day campaign.
The crowdfunding campaign will honor the contributions of the history of women's athletics and garner support for the next 50 years of women's athletics. Donations can be made HERE.
The University of Nevada sponsors 10 women's varsity sports featuring more than 200 female student-athletes. The Wolf Pack women's teams have won 22 all-time conference championships, including 10 Western Athletic Conference titles in Nevada's 12 years as a member of that league (2000-12). The Wolf Pack women's swimming and diving team won the school's first women's conference championship as a member of the Mountain West Conference, taking home the 2016 title.
Women's athletics have a long tradition of success at Nevada, including a national championship by the 1979 Wolf Pack women's swimming and diving team, while Nevada's female student-athletes have earned 176 All-America certificates and 12 individual national championships. Most recently, diver Sharae Zheng captured national championships in both 1-meter and 3-meter diving at the 2016 NCAA Championships.
