Sprinter Steve Reynolds is an icon in Nebraska Wesleyan track and field history. From 1991-94, Reynolds set many standards for NWU sprinting success by writing his name into the team’s all-time charts more than 20 times. Reynolds still owns the most outdoor All-America awards in team history (12), and he is tied for the most combined All-America honors with 17 during his illustrious career.

In addition, the Grand Island, Neb., native was a part of three national championship 4x400-meter relay teams, and he holds three school records, including the 400-meter dash outdoors and both the 300 and 440-yard dashes indoors. He also ranks among the top three in 13 different events.

As a senior, Reynolds anchored both the indoor and outdoor 4x400 relays to national titles. His efforts helped the Plainsmen earn a runner-up finish at the 1994 NCAA Division III Indoor Championships, NWU’s best team finish ever. Nebraska Wesleyan placed no lower than sixth as a team during Reynolds’ career and brought home a total of three third-place national finishes. At the outdoor national meets, he earned All-America honors all four years in both the 200-meter dash and the 4x100-meter relay.

Reynolds also has numerous conference championships to his name, and he still holds five of the team’s first-year records (55, 300 and 400 indoors; 200 and 400 outdoors).
