Among the year's standout stories, the Women's Rugby Club continued its dominant run, securing back-to-back regional championships and qualifying for nationals once again. In addition to their competitive success, the team raised nearly $10,000 to support club operations, travel and growth. 

Men's Lacrosse made history by winning its first conference title, finishing the season with an impressive 13-2 overall record, the best record in club history.  

On the green, the Golf Club qualified for the National Championship at Pinehurst in North Carolina, placing seventh in the country, and secured a first-place finish at a major regional tournament in the fall. 

Women's Volleyball delivered a consistently dominant season. Both the A and B squads qualified for Nationals in Phoenix, with the A team becoming ranked fourth in the nation during the season. The team won conference regionals and had four players earn all-conference honors: Olivia Meier, Zelbee Radar, Natalie Brown and Emma Schroder.

On the ice, Arkansas Hockey celebrated a milestone season, claiming the 2025 MACHA Conference Championship, earning five All-Star selections - Brenden Coon (forward), Ethan Rogers (defense), JD Duenwald (forward), Brian Romero (defense) and Sam Haynes (goalie) - and adding another competitive team to their roster.  

The Disc Golf Club made a name for itself nationally by winning the Tulsa Collegiate Showdown, securing a Division 1 nationals bid, and finishing in the top 10 there.

The Running Club continued to expand its reach and reputation, joining the National Intercollegiate Running Club Association (NIRCA) and competing in both regional and national championships. At the Hogeye Marathon Relay, the club's men's teams of Wesley Marsh, Luke Allport, Sam Getz and Jackson Burnett set a new course record of 2:25:27. The women's club team took home top honors as well in the relay with members Lily Neighbors, Abigail Horton, Megan Graham and Abigayle Money.  

In the virtual arena, Esports made waves with two teams qualifying for NECC Nationals, Rocket League and Valorant Red. The Valorant Red Team remained undefeated in regular season play and placed second at nationals.
