Nebraska softball coach Rhonda Revelle, track and field coach Justin St. Clair, women’s bowling coach Paul Klempa and men’s gymnastics coach Chuck Chmelka all signed contract extensions Wednesday, Nebraska athletic director Troy Dannen announced Wednesday.

Revelle and St. Clair’s new contracts run through 2030, while Klempa’s last’s through 2029 and Chmelka’s goes through 2028.

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.
