83 Prairie Wolves Earn A-R-C Spring All-Academic Honors

45 of Nebraska Wesleyan's 83 honorees are now multi-year A-R-C All-Academic achievers

LINCOLN, Neb. – Eighty-three Nebraska Wesleyan student-athletes who competed in spring sports have earned American Rivers Conference (A-R-C) All-Academic recognition by posting cumulative grade-point averages of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale.

The spring honorees bring Nebraska Wesleyan's total to 203 A-R-C All-Academic honors for the 2025-26 academic year – 80 in the fall, 40 in the winter and 83 in the spring.

To earn A-R-C All-Academic recognition, a student-athlete must be a sophomore, junior or senior in academic standing, have completed at least one year at their current institution, hold a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale and appear on the eligibility list for the sport of nomination.

Track and field led all Nebraska Wesleyan programs with 52 combined honorees – 31 men and 21 women. Baseball produced 11 honorees, the sixth straight year the program has reached double digits in A-R-C All-Academic recognition. Men's Golf and Softball each added eight, and Men's Tennis contributed four.

Forty-five of Nebraska Wesleyan's 83 spring honorees are multi-year A-R-C All-Academic recipients, and 13 of them have now earned the recognition at least three times. Baseball's Dominic Sis tops that group as a four-time honoree.

Shot put specialist Sam Clements swept the indoor and outdoor American Rivers Conference titles this year before advancing to the NCAA Championships, where he was joined by fellow A-R-C All-Academic honorees Noah Smith, Jacob Young, Chloe Mooberry and Rachel Smith.

Easton Johnson, baseball's first-team all-conference selection, and Jenna Kimberling, softball's only all-conference honoree this spring with a first-team nod, both earned spots on the A-R-C All-Academic list. It's Kimberling's third career A-R-C All-Academic recognition.

Men's Golf placed four A-R-C All-Academic honorees on a roster that once again finished as American Rivers Conference Championship runner-up: Jacob Cosimano, Jackson Lapour, Brayden Schram and Travis Tilford. Lapour, Cosimano and Tilford each finished among the top 10 individually to earn all-conference honors.

The American Rivers Conference recognized 569 student-athletes as spring A-R-C All-Academic honorees, including 281 from track and field, 111 from baseball, 99 from softball, 43 from men's golf and 35 from men's tennis.
