BSA meeting
discusses posters
Preparing for gameday
ISU administrators, police talk possible solutions with students By Whitney.Mason @iowastatedaily.com Uplifting, empowering our community. This was the four-worded phrase cited during Black Student Alliance’s pledge and continuously mentioned throughout the organization’s meeting in Carver 305 Thursday night. “This wasn’t to alarm, but inform you all,” said Malik Burton, Black Student Alliance president. Reginald Stewart, vice president of diversity and inclusion; Martino Harmon , vice president for student affairs; Kenyatta Shamburger, director of multicultural affairs; and Anthony Greiter, ISU Police community outreach officer, all led the conversation where students voiced their concerns. When addressed with the concerns of alarming altercations with other students, Greiter was quick to emphasize the importance of recording whether videotaping or reporting it to ISU Police. “Call us,” Greiter said. “Our presence can shut it down.” Harmon then explained that non-students committing the harassing crimes would be handled by the police but students would be handled under the university’s Code of Conduct. The students then proceeded to come up with ideas on how on to keep one another safe while on campus. Staying in groups while on campus and creating networks with one another were two arguably agreeable courses of actions to take by the students. When discussing the topic on changing the campus climate, Peter Deveaux-Isaacs, junior in political science, called it an “ambitious issue.” “It’s important to understand that this isn’t going to happen over night,” Deveaux-Isaacs said. “What you can do is be an ambassador to your culture.” Stewart shared his thoughts on posters found on campus over the past several weeks. Police removed 15 posters this week in addition to others found several weeks ago around campus, which were put up in the overnight and early morning. “The objective of the posters are to scare and change your routine,” he said. “That’s what they want,” Stewart said referring to the individuals hanging up the posters. Stewart also addressed a recent meeting, in which President Steven Leath decided not to comment on every poster hanging, why the university was slow this time on releasing a statement on the posters and instead the Multicultural Affairs office released a statement that only multicultural students received. Stewart and Harmon both discussed the idea of cameras and increasing more on campus. “There weren’t enough cameras to identify when the posters were hanged,” Stewart said about the latest poster hangings. But both explained that many students wouldn’t want an increase of cameras and being under surveillance. Administrators said once again they appreciated the conversations occurring as of late. “I’m going to come back and keep listening,” Stewart said. “It’s on us to come back and collect this information.” Harmon agreed with Stewart. Both he and Stewart said they understand the outcries from the students because they could recall being in the same positions in their younger years. “What you’re experiencing, we understand.” Harmon said. “We’re stressed, too.” Stewart said. Shamburger also showed his appreciation for the conversation Thursday night and the ones held recently. “Thank you all for having the desires to be agents of change,” he said.

Part of the preparation for a game week at Jack Trice Stadium is mixing the paint that will be used on the field. Iowa State Athletic Turfs/Grounds manager Tim Van Loo said that a typical game week consists of “mowing three to four times per week in the early season, less often when it colder; painting happens every game week and uses about 150 gallons of paint each week.” Van Loo also estimated that it takes about 55 to 60 man hours on the field each week to get it ready for a game.

Iowa State celebrates cultural distinctions Students promote backgrounds, eliminate common stereotypes
International Night shares ISU’s cultures
By Brooke.Tesdall and Jacey.Goetzman @iowastatedaily.com
By Ally.Frickel @iowastatedaily.com
Sweat dripped from her forehead, her cheeks red as she extended her hands in speech. Her words sped out with a certain adoration as she spoke of her background. Natali Rimoun Jouzi, sophomore in nutritional science, came to share her culture Thursday. It was International Dance Night, the kickoff to International Week. Rimoun Jouzi, an international student from Jordan, glowed as she spoke of her culture. “I love my culture, and being in the U.S., [being] an international student, I love to promote my culture and where [I’m] from,” Rimoun Jouzi said. On International Dance Night, Rimoun attempted to show students just that as she shared a Jordanian dance, the dabke. As people began to catch onto the steps, they joined hands in their lines and joined together in one, large circle. The dabke was performed by the Arab Students Association, which is composed of a diverse group of students, some from Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and America. International Week gives students not only the chance to share their culture, but the ability to eliminate stereotypes that might come with. “[Middle Eastern people] are not what the media presents… We’re just like everyone else. We’re all one,” said Rimoun Jouzi.” The largest and most colorful display at Bazaar Night was the work of a group of students so few in number they don’t qualify for an ISU association. Since Jimena Ojeda Ramirez is the only Peruvian undergraduate student at Iowa State, there’s no Peruvian student association. Regardless of their limited numbers, Ramirez and the five Peruvian graduate students proudly display their culture with ISC for one night each year. “I’m super lucky to be from there,”

Ramirez said. The night is an important window to display Peru’s improving culture, Kelly Vargas, an MBA student in business administration, said. “Wherever I am, in class or anywhere, there’s really no one that hasn’t heard me talking about my country,” Ramirez said. Ramirez said she will return to Peru after graduating. She misses many things, particularly the food; finding replacements for the fresh fish, over 3,000 variety of potatoes and ají peppers is difficult. Many international students shared their heritage with peers speaking of the history, folklore and myth, and personal stories Wednesday. Traditional Peruvian music set the mood and students spread out across the room, laughing as they learned Malaysian childhood games. “We just want people to get to know new cultures,” Chandrachur Sengupta said. “I hope that people who came today will have enjoyed what happened today and come to more events.” On the last night of International Week, everyone joined together for International Night. The night joined cultures, offering attendees the chance to dress up in traditional native clothing as well as watch musical performances from students. It
also featured a fashion show. One of the musical performances was by a group called the Punk Punditz. “Punditz” refers to maestros of a particular thing — in this case, music. “It’s a devotional form of music,” said Yash Solanki, sophomore in biology and a vocalist in Punk Punditz. “[Abhangs] are not necessarily intended toward a specific god figure or a specific religion. The composers were thinking of [a] divinity that does not have a specific name or form. It means different things to different people.” Through the composition, the composers hope to convey what their spirituality feels like to them. In a sense, International Week has done the same, only with culture. “I think it’s extremely important [to learn other cultures] for your own personal growth,” said Aishwarya Sriraman, who played a percussion instrument for the Punk Punditz. “I think it somehow taps your own creativity, and I think it brings out a better artist in you, it brings out a better person in you.” Sriraman also said it affects how you relate to other people. “You sort of connect to people better, knowing where they come from, what they do where they come from … [and] the eons of life and development and change that they’ve brought with them.”
People of many ages and cultures from all around the world attended the finale of Iowa State’s International Week at International Night. The night consisted of dances, singing and live music, allowing the audience to engage in any culture brought to the Great Hall stage Thursday night. The event began with emcees of the International Student Council introducing the theme of this year’s performance: extraterrestrial. This theme was portrayed as people meeting others as well as their cultural lifestyles. A wide range of brief performances provided audience members with bits of certain cultural lifestyles. Chinese performers, the Guang Hwa Lion Dance, walked through the audience so people could get a closer glimpse at the sparkle shown on the lion costumes, worn by two groups of two people. A trio group of Malaysians sang in tribute to a musician who was criticized for playing classical Malaysian music. In honor of the musician, P. Ramlees, the two singers and guitarist performed his song, Getaran Jiwa and Tunggu Sekejap. Two young women, the C-Nettes, danced in honor of body positivity and sisterhood. C-Nettes dance added to the variety, mixing pop culture and current social issues into International Night 2016. Other performances rep-
resented more countries such as Scotland, India, China, Arabic countries, American countries and Hispanic countries. Between performances and the fashion show was a food break, serving multicultural foods from Indian and Asian countries. In addition to the break, the International Student Council granted scholarships to certain international students, awarding them for their exemplary performance through leadership, volunteerism and campus involvement. Bollywood dancers continued the addition of pop culture to classical styles by dancing to a remix of songs composed of both traditional Indian tunes and songs many people of other cultures may instantly recognize. The dancers’ stomping feet and enthusiasm got the crowd even more excited for the next chapter of the show. The closing of the show and International Week was a fashion show featuring traditional clothing from many countries including India, China, Vietnam and more. Sarah Peterson, junior in mechanical engineering, said diversity is to be celebrated because, “it is important for people to understand each other … since we typically gravitate toward people of our own culture.” “It is important to cross the multicultural divide to show support and love,” Elizabeth Taylor, junior in child services, said. Another theme of the night was that exactly. The performances and fashion show featured during Thursday’s event acted as gateways for people of all cultures to see what those of other cultures see and hear during their everyday lives.
IRHA talks dining changes By Alison.Boysen @iowastatedaily.com The Inter-Residence Hall Association gathered Thursday night to discuss a number of proposed bills dealing with dining, sponsors and treats, among others. The first topic addressed was the new changes to dining around campus. Mohamed Ali, director of campus dining services, and other members of ISU Dining spoke to IRHA about the budget, new dishes and the final numbers for the two new meal plans. The changes still have some resistance from students that directors of IRHA addressed. “They’re doing this to provide us with a better food experience,” Student Government Sen. Samuel Freestone said. A bill that says IRHA supports ISU Dining and the changes it wants to make was

passed at the meeting. Another bill discussed dealt with the budgets that directors are given to spend on events that IRHA sponsors. The bill would make directors more accountable of the money spent, and would prevent a cushion to spend on last-minute supplies. This bill was also passed. Dead Week treats at Friley Hall are usually partially funded by IRHA and are only intended to benefit residents of that hall. A bill that was proposed would give Friley $800 from IRHA to provide students with snacks and create a social night that could relieve the stress of impending finals. Madrigal Dinners is an event that comes to Iowa State and takes place in the Memorial Union. A bill that would put $1,950 toward Madrigal Dinners and allow tickets to be lowered for the first 50 students to $7 was considered. In previous
years, IRHA has used money to relieve the costs of tickets for students. A director from MapleWillow-Larch proposed a bill that asks IRHA for a budget of $3,000 to make repairs and replace items in the game room. The Department of Residence had denied the proposal because it originally paid for the original renovations. Another bill that was argued was to create a bylaw that all money distributed to organizations by IRHA that had not been used given back to IRHA accounts. Also, organizations that receive funds would be subject to audits. The final bill examined possibly funding Dance Marathon. The bill asks for $6,000 to provide 1,000 shirts for donors and fundraisers. An additional $250 would be put toward decorations for the Dance Marathon event in the Memorial Union.

Participation trophies send a message that “you did something well, and now you’re being rewarded for it.”
Katy Klopfenstein/Iowa State Daily
President-elect Donald Trump has been unwilling to express objectivity on abortion, saying people in need of abortion care can simply “go to another state.”
A dangerous precedent Trump’s hypocrisy on abortion rights threatens women President-elect Donald Trump granted an interview to “60 Minutes” that ran Sunday night in which he finally answered questions on some of his policies, including whether he would prosecute Hillary Clinton, the fate of same-sex marriage in a Trump administration and how far his pro-life stance will extend. On whether he would overturn the 2015 Supreme Court decision Obergefell v. Hodges, which stated that samesex couples have a “fundamental right to marry,” he said, “It’s irrelevant because it was already settled. It’s law. It was settled in the Supreme Court.” But on the issue of abortion rights, Trump was markedly less willing to express objectivity, saying, “If [Roe v. Wade, which stated that access to abortion is similarly a fundamental right] ever were overturned, it would go back to the states,” he said. He’d preceded this statement by reaffirming his commitment to appoint “pro-life” Supreme Court justices. Any Electoral College-related controversy aside, Trump will be our next president, and with the job comes the duty to nominate Supreme Court justices. With a Republican majority in both houses of Congress, it stands to reason that nearly any pick of Trump’s will be confirmed. But it is the abject hypocrisy of this statement — that he sides with the Supreme Court’s decision on same-sex marriage, but not on abortion rights — that is incredibly troubling as we inch closer to Inauguration Day. Since Roe v. Wade, the Court has ruled on several significant cases related to abortion. Most recently, in June’s Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt decision, justices ruled 5-3 that two provisions in Texas’ 2013 House Bill 2 were unconstitutional because they placed an “undue burden” on abortion access. These are the cases Trump should
be paying attention to: ones that set a precedent for how views of abortion access from a constitutional standpoint are evolving over time. In addition, results of a May Gallup poll showed that 79 percent of Americans believe abortion should be legal in some form (29 percent in all circumstances and 50 percent in some circumstances). Public opinion is in favor of abortion access, and it is absurd that our future president would ignore such significant data (that is also relatively unchanged over the past few decades from a “legal” versus “illegal” standpoint). Abortion rights advocates may take comfort in the fact that at this time, there are no cases nearing the Supreme Court that directly challenge Roe. But Republican legislatures have been indirectly challenging Roe on a stateby-state basis for years, making their feelings clear in states like North Dakota (where a ban on abortion after six weeks was proposed), North Carolina (which inexplicably hid abortion access restrictions in a motorcycle safety bill), Texas (the aforementioned H.B. 2), Indiana (where a lawmaker recently proposed a total abortion ban) and many more. These challenges will only continue in the years to come. And with not only Trump, but also Gov. Mike Pence entering the White House this January, there exists a real chance that they, along with the Republican-controlled Congress and the so-called “pro-life” judges, will pose a more serious threat to abortion access than any of these state laws. Pence, in particular, has a terrifying history with attempting to restrict abortion access, with a specific aim at Planned Parenthood. He was the first member of Congress to author a bill that would defund Planned Parenthood; co-sponsored a bill that would have only allowed federal funds to be used to end pregnancies that were a result of the shakily-defined “forcible rape”; co-sponsored another bill that would have, among other things, allowed hospitals to deny abortion services to pregnant people who would die without one; and took his crusade against Planned Parenthood so far as governor of Indiana that he brought
about the worst HIV outbreak in state history by shutting down five rural clinics that provided HIV testing, but not abortion. Sure, as Trump said in his “60 Minutes” interview, people in need of abortion care can simply “go to another state.” But, as expected, he minimizes this issue to a fault, because many people seeking abortions — especially in Texas — are already forced to travel outside their state, sometimes missing work or other obligations for days at a time due to waiting periods enforced in those states. And for those who cannot “go to another state,” the rate of unsafe home abortions will rise, as it has in Texas since H.B. 2 went into effect. As much of the country reels from the results of this election, Democratic leadership is reaffirming its commitment to stand up for reproductive rights. Activists are also preparing for the “fight ahead of us,” according to Kierra Johnson, executive director of the abortion rights advocacy group URGE, who told Rewire that they will “work like hell to continue to move the needle on repealing [the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits federal funds from paying for abortion via Medicaid], and we’re going to be even more ferocious in our fight for justice at the state level.” In the meantime, one way to combat the already significant strain on clinics that provide abortions as they prepare for Trump and Pence administration is to donate to a clinic like Planned Parenthood or, more locally, Iowa City’s Emma Goldman Clinic. Donors can now join not only the 160,000 people who have donated to Planned Parenthood since the election, but the 20,000 people who have done so “in honor of” Pence. This, of course, means there are 20,000 thank-you cards en route to his office in Indianapolis. No matter how murky, ambiguous or downright malicious the views our newly-elected leaders have expressed regarding abortion, accepting this as our new normal is not an option. Trump may be our new president, but we do not have to let his blatant hypocrisy on such important issues stand without a challenge.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Sun still rose after Trump was elected By Michael Tupper Junior in ag engineering The sun came up on Nov. 9. Nuclear war didn’t break out, millions of people weren’t immediately rounded up and imprisoned, and for the majority of Americans, life went on as normal. This is the great masterpiece behind the American democratic republic — in the entire history of our country, there has only been one power transition that wasn’t peaceful. This legacy of peaceful transition is truly unique in human history, and one that we as Americans should be extremely proud of. Emotions have been highly charged this election season. I, like many of you, had hoped for better candidates for office. As someone who truly believes in Libertarian principles, I actually despised both of the major party options. I have voted for many Republicans in my life, but I
couldn’t bring myself to vote for Donald Trump because many of his policies don’t align with my views. With that being said, Trump is my president. That fact is simple, and no safe space is going to change it. No amount of protesting is going to change it. No amount of calling the people who voted for Trump racists, bigots, homophobes or any other unjustifiable slur is going to change it. Some in the media have coined this election a “whitelash” against the outgoing black president. This notion is absolutely absurd. Mitt Romney won more votes in 2012 than Trump did. Onethird of the counties that voted for Obama in 2012 flipped in 2016 and voted for Trump. Did those people finally remember their racism? If anything, this was a “blacklash” against a DNC that continuously takes black voters for granted. Those voters decided to not go
out and vote this time. The DNC was not as aggressive in its campaigning because it was overconfident that it was going to win. The other reason this is absurd is that it is terrible political strategy. If you want to continue to get the quote “divisive” candidates like Trump to be nominees, the fastest way to do it is to label all of the people who voted for him racist and put them into a “whitelash” category. Every day, Americans are sick and tired of being called racist with absolutely zero justification for the term. Here is the simple fact — Trump has yet to make a single policy change. He hasn’t been inaugurated yet. If he proposes policies that I disagree with, which I know he will, I will be a major critic of his. When he proposes good policies, I will support them. To protest Mr. Trump before he has even sworn an oath to the Constitution is childish. My final thought is this: Why have we given so much power
to one person? Our system was never supposed to operate this way. For too long, both parties have been all too happy to give more and more power to one person as long as it was “their person.” This should be a wakeup call to all Americans. Presidential elections shouldn’t be this important because the office of the President shouldn’t be this important. The only solution to the divisiveness in this country is to drastically reduce the size of the federal government. The more decisions can be made at a local level, the less things we will have dividing us and the more things we will have uniting us. Until we can get to that point, we must live in the system we are in. Trump was elected, the sun came up, and we are still the United States of America, the most prosperous country the world has ever seen. That, my friends, is something we can all be proud of.
Participation awards miss on teaching opportunity By Jazz.Niehaus @iowastatedaily.com I am arguably one of the least athletic people on earth. But I still have a rather large box of trophies in my basement. I’ve heard of an A for effort, but when did we start giving out trophies for participation? “You win some, you lose some” is my catch phrase. But we are raising children in a world where they never lose. Although a participation medal or trophy may be a self-esteem boost for a moment, it’s possible we are just harming the youth in the long run. When you hand a child a trophy, you are sending the subliminal message of “you did something well, and now you are being rewarded for it.” When you reward a child for doing nothing other than participating, you instill a message: You don’t have to do anything to do well. These ideas fail to introduce children to the idea of failure, something we all will have to face sooner or later. Living on a college campus and meeting new people on a day-today basis, it’s easy to tell who has received a lot of participation trophies in their lifetime. It often seems as though people drop classes and switch majors, not because they are incapable of doing the work, but because they are not willing to put in the work. In a world pushing toward political correctness, we are also creating a culture of wimps. We are babying far past the time of diapers and breastfeeding. Whether you like it or not, you cannot win all of the time. You will not be rewarded for failures or mediocrity when you enter the real world. There is no bonus for being late to work, nor a raise for misplacing a file. Future employers will not promote you for doing the bare minimum. That is not unfair; that is life. Failure is healthy, and we are living in a society where we are losing sight of that. Failure is a necessary slap in the face; failure is a wakeup call. We should not be embarrassed by failure; we should be embarrassed when we give up. It took Thomas Edison over 1,000 attempts to perfect the light bulb. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. J.K. Rowling was denied 12 times before finding a publisher for Harry Potter. In the face of failure, the steadfast attitude is what propelled them forward. When we hand out trophies for participation, we create a world where winning is taken lightly and failure seems detrimental. In reality, failure is something everyone, even the greatest of names, has faced. Success, on the other hand, is the ultimate goal that some of us may never see. There is a huge difference between success and participation; in turn, there should be a huge difference in the reward.

Redshirt senior running back Mitchell Harger breaks away for a touchdown during Iowa State’s spring game on April 11, 2015, at Jack Trice Stadium.
Preserving
the
Passion
Mitchell Harger scores first career touchdown By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com Mitchell Harger has been around the Iowa State football program a long time. The Alburnett, Iowa, native walked on to the team back in 2012, and redshirted his initial season. From there, he slowly worked his way up the ladder. Slowly is an understatement. In 2013, Harger didn’t see any action on the field. In 2014, he played in four games on special teams, and posted two tackles. It wasn’t until 2015 that Harger saw consistent action on the field, but even that was limited. He played in all 12 games on special teams and played run-
ning back twice that season. This season, Harger returned to the team after graduating last spring. His role, though, hasn’t been much different. He plays on special teams, and gets limited time at running back. That’s essentially the extent of his football career. He hasn’t racked up a ton of yards. He’s just been on the team for the sake of being on the team. That, he said, has been incredibly hard. “I talked about that with my parents,” Harger said. “I said before the [Kansas] game it’s tough going through four and a half years being grinded down and being just degraded and all this stuff to not really have any output from that,
real output. “It just makes you double check it sometimes, thinking what you could have been doing, what you could be doing now. Because I mean I graduated, I could have been out of here. I could have been working for my engineering company that I’m part-timing for now.” But on Saturday, that validation finally came. Harger scored his first career touchdown, a 6-yard run, capping an 80-yard scoring drive to put the Cyclones ahead of Kansas and push Iowa State to its first Big 12 Conference win of the season. “Just to have that moment with the touchdown, with my family,

COMMENTARY BY LUKE MANDERFELD
Another win is the next step for Matt Campbell, Cyclones The last time the Cyclones won back-to-back games in a season — the end of the 2013 season — Grant Rohach, who now starts for Buffalo, led the Iowa State offense. It’s been that long. This weekLUKE e n d, Iowa MANDERFELD State has a chance to kick that dismal streak against Texas Tech after beating Kansas last weekend — which doubled as the Cyclones’ first Big 12 win on the road in three
years. Star receiver Allen Lazard, junior, hasn’t even been at Iowa State long enough to see back-to-back wins materialize. And it’s something that he wants, especially since a ranked West Virginia team looms in Iowa State’s season finale. “Just keeping this thing rolling,” Lazard said. “We haven’t had a win streak since I’ve been here. We just want to keep this thing rolling and finish the year strong.” And as if we haven’t talked about it too much this season, a second straight win — call it a winning
streak if you want — is part of coach Matt Campbell’s coveted process. More specifically, it isn’t the wins that Campbell is looking for, but the process it takes to win. “I think the next step is win two games in a row,” Campbell said. “We’ve handled negative. We’ve handle tough losses, close losses. But now we’ve got to handle success. It’s the same thing, right? To me, there’s not a difference in winning and losing in how you handle it. The only way to handle it is sustainability day in and day out.” It’s not like Iowa State isn’t close, even though the
team is still lacking top-tier talent — there is a reason why walk-ons litter the two-deep depth chart. As I’ve said before, the Cyclones have come close on more than one occasion, think Baylor, Oklahoma State and Kansas State, but they got in their own way. The team just didn’t know how to win. They were leading and got complacent. And that’s what Campbell was attempting to fix — making sure his players knew what it took to grab a victory. This weekend provides a chance for Campbell to show that he is making process with the “culture” he
always talks about. It’s not like he is new to this process either. He did a similar turnaround at Toledo. The season before he arrived with the Rockets as the running game coordinator/offensive line coach, Toledo went 3-9. The year before that, the team went 5-7. “We went into Toledo and we faced these problems early on as well,” Campbell said. “Although that program has had some really good history prior to it, the three years prior to us getting there had fallen on hard times.” It isn’t all about the wins and losses, but more about

how the team is playing week in and week out. “From a big-picture standpoint, our goal is always to win the football game,” offensive coordinator Tom Manning said. “For us to to take the next step, it’s still about how well we are preparing and how well we are playing.” Now Campbell can do something at Iowa State that hasn’t been done in three years — just win another one. “Winning is really fragile, nobody knows that more than the Cyclones this year, and deservedly so,” Campbell said. “Some lessons we deserved to learn.”

KEYS TO THE GAME IOWA STATE
The Iowa State defense will need to focus all of its attention on Texas Tech’s quarterback, Patrick Mahomes II. He is the main threat on the offense, and if the Cyclones’ defense can stop him, then they have an opportunity to continue a two-game winning streak. Coach Matt Campbell will need to use the dualquarterback system efficiently with Jacob Park and Joel Lanning. Lanning was used more in the Kansas game last weekend, but he can’t be used simply for running plays. Texas Tech will expect that philosophy. Iowa State needs to establish a running game with its four running backs. Campbell needs to use the strengths of David Montgomery, Mike Warren, Kene Nwangwu and Mitchell Harger. If the running game can start early and remain throughout the game, Iowa State will have more opportunities.
TEXAS TECH
Mahomes II is the essential player for the Texas Tech offense, and he needs to be used in both the passing and rushing game. If he gets on a roll, it could be a long game for Iowa State. The Texas Tech defense will have the difficulty of preparing for two quarterbacks in the game, but if the team can pressure the quarterbacks and stop the running game early on, Iowa State’s tempo could be shut down. Mahomes II will need to use other wide receivers in the game because his leading receiver, Jonathan Giles, will likely be double-teamed. He has two or three more receivers to look to, and those receivers need to step up to create some big plays down the field.

GOOD COP vs. BAD COP By Ben.Visser @iowastatedaily.com
By Sean.Sears @iowastatedaily.com
Ames is going to be cold and windy on Saturday. Texas Tech isn’t used to playing in the cold, and while Ames has been unseasonably warm, the weather still should be more of an advantage for Iowa State. The Red Raiders are a pass-first, -second, -third and -fourth team. They have over 4,700 yards through the air, and about 1,000 yards on the ground. When Texas Tech played Oklahoma on Oct. 24, Red Raider quarterback Patrick Mahommes passed for 734 yards, an NCAA record. The cold and windy day on Saturday will make for very tough passing conditions, even for Mahommes. Iowa State’s defense will still have to show up, but they’ll be aided by the wind. On the other side of the ball, Iowa State needs to keep it on the ground. It’s much easier to run in the cold and wind, than it is to pass. That and Texas Tech’s defense is bad. Like really bad. Like worse than Iowa State’s bad. The Red Raiders have allowed 5,410 total yards — 2,334 of those have been on the ground. Iowa State’s defense on the other hand has “only” allowed 4,516. I expect to see more of Lanning at quarterback this game, and I expect to see a number of read-options to try and exploit the porous Red Raider defense. Freshman running back David Montgomery had a break out game last week against Kansas. He rushed for 169 yards against the Jayhawks, and with Mike Warren’s bum ankle, he could set a new career high this weekend. The combination of him, Lanning and Kene Nwangwu could prove to be a deadly combination for the Cyclones. Iowa State needs to have success on the ground and keep the chains moving to keep the potent offense Texas Tech offense off of the field. In passing situations wide receiver Allen Lazard will be the main target. His large frame and good hands make for a good third down option. Give me Iowa State in a “low” scoring game. Iowa State 38, Texas Tech 34
One of the last home games of the season is upon us, and as sad it will be to see tailgating season end, most Cyclone fans are ready to watch a promising basketball team. However, Texas Tech is coming to Ames this Saturday morning, and they are two wins away from becoming bowl eligible. The Red Raiders’ 4-6 record does not accurately show how talented this team is, having been so close to winning almost all their games this season. Their offense, led by dualthreat quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, does nothing but score. Texas Tech’s offensive unit is averaging 46 points per game, good for third in the nation. However, no team in the NCAA has allowed more yards than the Red Raiders, as they have only held their opponents from scoring less than 20 points twice this season. Mahomes II is one of the best throwers in the nation. He leads college football in throwing yards per game, racking up 424.7 passing yards per game. That’s about 50 yards better than the second-best player on the list. And the running game has improved in recent weeks. After a dismal start to the season in that department, the Red Raiders have amassed 100 or more yards on the ground in their last two games. But their defense has allowed over 200 yards in each of those games. Against Texas a couple of weeks ago, Texas Tech allowed a staggering 414 yards on the ground. With all that being said, Texas Tech should be able to run up the score on Iowa State this Saturday with ease. And even if the Cyclones find success against the Red Raiders defense, it’s going to be tough to keep pace with their offense. However if, and this is a major if here, Iowa State can keep this game close and force the junior Mahomes II to make a mistake, he has eight interceptions this year, it might be enough to sneak a win. But, with Texas Tech needing to win out the rest of the season to get to a bowl game, Iowa State fans should once again temper expectations. Texas Tech 44 Iowa State 27

Iowa State vs Texas Tech
Texas Tech 49, Iowa State 35 I don’t think there is any doubt that this game will become a shootout quickly. Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes II can sling the football better than anyone in the nation, according to passing yards per game, where he leads the country. The Iowa State defense has been incapable of slowing down faster-than-normal offenses — take Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State for examples. The Red Raiders own the best offense in college football, and I find it hard to believe that Iowa State’s defense can reverse its trend. The Cyclones will need to match Texas Tech score for score, but they’ll mess up along the way. Texas Tech will take this one.
Texas Tech 49, Iowa State 21 Texas Tech is better than its record shows — much better. And yeah, I get that Iowa State is fresh off its first conference win all season. And yeah, Iowa State has been trending up all season, regardless of its record. But still, the Cyclones have more questions than answers right now. Texas Tech will fly home to Lubbock, Texas, with a win on Saturday night.

Iowa State has some confidence coming into the game from the win against Kansas last weekend, but that confidence will not result in a win. I will say it will be a close game throughout because Iowa State and Texas Tech have continued to improve as teams throughout the season. There will be a touchdown with less than a minute in the football game to give Texas Tech the victory.

The newfound confidence from the Kansas game will put the Cyclones over Texas Tech in a close, back-and-forth game that’ll have fans stressed out from the first play to the last.

Mahomes II presents dual-threat challenge Texas Tech QB leads potent offensive attack on the gridiron By Brian.Mozey @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State defense played against a redshirt freshman last week in the win against Kansas. This week, it’ll face a junior quarterback that who more experience and has produced more offensive statistics in Patrick Mahomes II. Mahomes II is the offense for Texas Tech, and coach Matt Campbell has made it loud and clear to the Iowa State defense that this Red Raiders’ quarterback needs to be stopped for the Cyclones to have a chance to win the game. “Patrick [Mahomes II] is having a great season for Texas Tech, which will make a good, strong matchup for us this weekend,” Campbell said. “We’ll be ready for the matchup on Saturday.” Mahomes II is just like any other Big 12 quarterback with the ability to be a dual threat in the rushing and passing games. This season he’s thrown for 4,247 yards and 34 passing touchdowns, along with 293 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns. Texas Tech doesn’t use the rushing game as often as most teams and relies on the passing game. The Red Raiders primary running back is Demarcus Felton, who has 354 yards and three touchdowns on the season.
HARGER p5 I’d do it a million times over again,” Harger said. Offensive coordinator Tom Manning wasn’t even aware of the gravity of Harger’s first touchdown. His goal was just to score on that drive. “I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t know that Mitch had never scored a touchdown,” Manning said. “After the game, I went up and talked to him and I realized pretty fast that it was the first one and he was so pumped up. It was pretty neat. I think that was a good moment obviously for him. That was an incredible moment.” Harger, though, nearly never got that validation. After last season, he was set to graduate from Iowa State in the spring, and was interning at a mechanical engineering company, which offered him a fulltime position. Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads had recently lost his job, too. A new coaching staff was incoming, and the walk-on didn’t have a need to stay. He could have moved on with his life. But he didn’t. “It was just kind of this feeling that my role wasn’t done with this team,” Harger said. “When coach Campbell and all of his staff came in something kept me
Kelby Wingert/Iowa State Daily
Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes II runs the ball against Iowa State on Nov. 22, 2014, at Jack Trice Stadium. Mahomes II has thrown for 4,247 yards and 34 touchdowns this season.
Iowa State has had some practice with dual-threat quarterbacks such as Northern Iowa’s Aaron Bailey, Baylor’s Seth Russell and Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield. The Cyclone defense should know how to stop these types of quarterbacks with the amount of practice it’s gotten. Defensive coordinator Jon Heacock said Mahomes II is a matchup nightmare because he’s an athletic, but strong quarterback. here, something kept me going, something kept me driving.” So Harger kept leading the WOPA, or Walk-On Player’s Association, as the team calls it. That group of walk-ons, both Manning and Iowa State coach Matt Campbell say, are the foundation of their football team. “I think coach Campbell has always done a great job of treating those guys the exact same as anyone else. I’ll be honest with you, there are a couple kids here that have played that I didn’t really realize they weren’t on scholarship,” Manning said. “I think that’s a really good sign and I think we have to continue to develop that within our program here because I think it’s such a beneficial thing to obviously the university but the football program and everything. I think it’s a huge deal.” Wide receiver Allen Lazard agrees with them, too. “That WOPA group is definitely the foundation of our program right now,” Lazard said. “Just because of the time and hours they put in here the past five years, they’ve been through a lot of things, they’ve had a lot of different coaching changes, both positive and negative. “To see them go through the things that they’ve gone
He has the speed to get a close first down, but is also strong enough to throw the ball down the field or to get through a goal line stance and reach the end zone. “We put pressure against Oklahoma and will try to get Patrick [Mahomes II] off his game,” Heacock said. “We’ll do our best to minimize his throws and runs throughout the game.” Iowa State will look to attack Mahomes II with the same strategy as Mayfield
when the Cyclones took on Oklahoma on Nov. 3. The defense found ways to pressure Mayfield to throw quickly or dump the pass off to the running back. Iowa State will pressure Mahomes II to minimize the big plays and break up the rhythm of the Texas Tech offense. The Cyclone defense should keep eyes on Texas Tech’s top wide receiver, Jonathan Giles. Possibly multiple eyes in a double team coverage.
Giles is Mahomes II’s favorite target and has 1076 receiving yards along with 12 receiving touchdowns. Giles has doubled the numbers of receiving yards and touchdowns compared to the Red Raiders second wide receiver, Cameron Batson. “Jonahtan [Giles] is a great wide receiver and deserves to be recognized for his skills and abilities,” Campbell said. “We need to find a way to minimize his catches and force the other

wide receivers to step up.” Fansided projected Mahomes II to be a third-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, which shows how hard the Iowa State defense needs to prepare for him and the Texas Tech offense. “There’s no way to stop Patrick [Mahomes II] in any game,” Campbell said. “You try to contain and minimize him as much as possible because he’ll have his stats. He’s too good to stop completely.”
It will no doubt keep him there for two more games. “I was a D-III player myself, and I paid for my school and I understand the passion that those kids have,” Manning said. “Not to say that a scholarship player doesn’t have any passion. That’s certainly
not the case. I think the importance to those kids is something that’s really hard to define. “For a kid to have success that has really made a lot of sacrifices to do so, and then decided to come back for another season for it … it’s extra special.”

Iowa State targets upset at NCAAs By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com
Kyle Heim/Iowa State Daily
Redshirt junior Bethanie Brown, right, runs to a 53rd-place finish at the last NCAA Cross-Country Championship meet she competed in two seasons ago at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Brown’s comeback crucial for success By Kyle.Heim @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State women’s cross-country runner Bethanie Brown has more comebacks than Rocky Balboa. Just like Rocky, every time she’s been knocked down, whether it’s been from health issues, injuries or fatigue, she’s always found a way to bounce back in some of the most crucial moments. She’s the kind of runner who, once in race mode, will always go to the well and test her limits. “If you look at her history, she’s only raced when she’s pretty darn solid,” Iowa State coach Andrea Grove-McDonough said earlier in the season. But her opportunities since her freshman year to compete in a Cyclone jersey have been few and often far between. Three years ago, Brown was one of the best up-and-coming women’s cross-country runners in the nation. She placed 21st at the Roy Griak Invitational in her collegiate debut, finished inside the top five at the Big 12 Championship and earned All-America honors at the NCAA Championship with a 37th-place performance. She went on to record two of the top10 fastest times in Iowa State history in the 3,000-meter run during the following indoor season and in the 5,000-meter run during the outdoor season. Brown was only able to compete in two cross-country events in 2014, the Roy Griak Invitational and the NCAA Championship, after an injury forced her to miss almost two months. Despite the layoff in between, Brown came back to help lead Iowa State as its third scorer to a runner-up finish at nationals. Health issues would eventually sideline her for the 2015 indoor and outdoor track seasons, the 2015 cross-country season and the 2016 indoor season.
Now she’s back competing again, and making a difference. She used her season debut at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational on Oct. 14 as a workout to gauge how she was feeling and have a race that she could build off of instead of a race where she tries hard from the start. “Coach and I had talked about that of me kind of going and doing it more like a workout and kind of going from the back to the front,” Brown said. “I think maybe we had different ideas of what the back was, because I started in the very back, and she was like, ‘Woah, you’re in the way back,’ so I think she was thinking a little bit like of a harder start. But anyway, it ended up going pretty much according to plan.” At the Big 12 Championship about two weeks later, she helped Iowa State secure the title with a top-10 individual performance. But she said she had a little pain in her leg before the meet and it got worse after the race. “I had gone out and tried to run and couldn’t run on it [after Big 12s], so I had to pull back and really just take a rest, which kind of interrupted that block that’s critical for training at a point like this in the season,” Brown said. “I needed that week in between to be able to train for regionals. Since I didn’t have that, it was really more smart to move that block of training to during regionals, and then I could have a chance at being ready for nationals …” With some time to rest and train, she’s ready for nationals, and the Cyclones will need her to go to the well on Saturday if they want a chance to obtain their goal of finishing inside the top 10. “I’m not going to say, ‘Oh, I’ll have a great race at nationals.’ I have no idea,” Brown said. “I tried to get some good training in that block, but I don’t know how it will affect me to have taken those
days off.” The message sounds familiar to one she gave last April about the Drake Relays after taking first in the 5,000-meter run. “I had no idea what kind of fitness I was in [before the 5,000-meter race at the Drake Relays],” Brown said at the time. “I had kind of a general sense that I had been starting to go more smoothly in terms of my mileage, so I had a feeling that I was not going to do terribly.” Brown entered the Drake Relays two weeks after placing second in the 1,500-meter run at the Jim Duncan Invitational, which was her first outdoor track competition in nearly two years and first overall competition in more than a year. Brown was in the back half of the pack for the first half of the race but remained within striking distance of first place. “In the middle, I was like, ‘I think I have it; I think I can do this,’” Brown said after the race. “I didn’t think winning, but I was like, ‘I’m definitely in this and I’m feeling good.’ I actually smiled during the race. I was running around and I just found myself smiling because I was just so happy to feel normal, feel like I could do it.” With about three laps to go, she pulled in front of the rest of the pack and stayed ahead for the rest of the race. “Bethanie’s the kind of gal who can go to the well every single time,” GroveMcDonough said. A lot of what ifs can be asked about Brown’s cross-country career at Iowa State, but she’s not focusing on what could have been. She’s focusing on what can happen now. “Even when there are difficulties, you can still come back,” Brown said last April. “It might take you a little while, it might not be the time frame that you would want, but it can still happen.”
Finishing inside the top 25 at the NCAA CrossCountry Championship is no simple task, especially considering more than 250 teams don’t even qualify for nationals. But for the Cyclones, last year’s 24th-place finish was a disappointment. “We don’t like being in the 20s, that’s not anything any of us want to get comfortable with,” Iowa State coach Andrea Grove-McDonough said early this season. “I just want to move on.” This year’s team is led by a strong top five that has stayed mostly healthy throughout the season. Senior Perez Rotich and redshirt juniors Erin Hooker and Bethanie Brown are the veterans of the team. They’ve competed in a combined seven National Championship meets. Sophomore Anne Frisbie and freshman Branna MacDougall round out the top five. Frisbie has emerged as one of the leaders on the team, finishing fourth at the Big 12 Championship on Oct. 29 and 10th at the NCAA Midwest Regionals. MacDougall, who GroveMcDonough said would make a big impact in November, displayed a lot of improvement between her 32nd-place finish at Big 12s and 22nd-place performance at regionals. Even with a Big 12 title and an eighth straight invitation to nationals, GroveMcDonough has remained cautious. “Can we win a national title? No, we’re not in that position, and we understand that, but that doesn’t mean we can’t run for a single digit and be up front,” Grove-McDonough said. “I love the momentum we’re building. I love how fresh we are as a team as opposed
to this time last year, both physically and mentally.” In the past, Grove-McDonough has been quick to speculate or try to get a feel for how the team can perform at nationals. This year, she said she doesn’t want to try to figure out what the team is capable of on Saturday. That will be up to the runners to solve. “If everyone could have a great day, I think we can surprise some people and have a little bit of an upset at nationals,” Brown said. “We got the job done at Big 12s, but nationals, whatever we can do is icing on the cake.”

Men’s cross-country makes long-awaited return to big stage By Mike.Burvee @iowastatedaily.com The stage doesn’t get any bigger or brighter in college-level sports than having the chance to bring home a national title. The Cyclone men’s cross-country team will have that chance for the first time since 2009 on Saturday when it travels to Terre Haute, Indiana. Assistant coach Jeremy Sudbury said the course is very wide because it’s specifically designed to host the national meet. 32 teams will take to the course in hopes of being part of a national title team. The large field of runners shouldn’t prove to be much of a problem as the men faced a similar volume of runners at the meet in Wisconsin earlier this season. The Cyclones have also gained confidence as the season has gone on, most recently finishing fourth in the NCAA Regional meet. Season at a glance The men’s cross-country season started in Iowa City at the Hawkeye Early-Bird Invitational. The meet was seen as more of an exhibition and allowed the runners to get back in the flow and tune up their minds and bodies before their first true race.

The Iowa State men’s cross-country team ran to an eighth-place finish at the Nuttycombe Wisconsin Invitational on Oct. 14 in Madison, Wisconsin.
The Cyclone men ended up finishing in first place, with Toby Hardwick finishing first overall. The invitational was also many Cyclones’ first race, including senior transfer Kevyn Hoyos. The Cyclones then traveled to Minnesota, where they placed second in the Roy Griak Invitational. Hardwick had another successful meet, finishing 17th overall and first for the Cyclones. “It’s a stepping stone as we look
forward to the rest of the season,” Sudbury said after the meet. Every meet posed its own challenge. For the next one in Wisconsin, the team focused more on the large field of runners. Despite running against more than 200 other athletes, the men ended up in eighth place overall. There were 19 ranked teams, giving the Cyclones their first widespread competition of the season. “Anytime you can beat any team
that might be an auto bid for nationals is very important,” Sudbury said after the meet. “It puts less stress on us down the stretch.” Big 12 Championship The Cyclones got a brief break to prepare to take on conference rivals in the Big 12 Championship in late October. This was the first time they got the chance to compete against Oklahoma State, a team that had won multiple conference championships in recent years. The Cowboys continued their reign, taking the title while Iowa State was left to finish runner-up. Redshirt freshman Thomas Pollard finished first for the Cyclones. Hoyos, Andrew Jordan and Josef Andrews, also were given Big 12 honors. Regionals With a nationals bid on their doorstep, the Cyclones knew they still had to run a good meet to qualify. They did just that by finishing in fourth place in Iowa City. Pollard led the way, finishing in eighth overall. The most notable aspect of the meet wasn’t the result, but rather the components of the race. Every meet before regionals was an 8-kilometer race, but regionals was a 10K race. “The last two kilometers was where a lot of our guys made their
final push,” Sudbury said. For most of the team, this was their first 10K race, and for many it won’t be their last. The nationals meet will also be a 10K, and with one under its belt, the team feels more confident. Though they didn’t automatically qualify by finishing in fourth place, the Cyclones were selected as an early at-large bid to make nationals. Nationals The final test for Iowa State will be the nationals meet in Indiana on Saturday. Despite receiving positive results throughout the season, nothing would compare to bringing a national title home to Ames. “Goal one was getting to nationals, goal two is performing well,” Sudbury said. It’s a new experience for most on the team, the lone exception being Daniel Curts. “Curts ran in nationals as a true freshman, and though he didn’t do well, he has the experience,” Sudbury said. Sudbury also noted that the Cyclones should be ready to go compete and execute their game plan. Once they get out on the course, they can focus on themselves and maximize their own race. “It’s the last meet, so let’s make it the best,” Sudbury said.

ISU volleyball leary of letdown By Sean.Sears @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State had its first major statement win last Saturday, upsetting then-No. 5 Texas in five sets. The team celebrated the huge victory over the weekend, but it was back to business Monday, as the team now had a long week of preparation for its match against No. 4 Kansas. With the team still feeling the high from beating one of the best teams in the nation, coach Christy
Johnson-Lynch stressed to her team how important it was to focus on its next match. “The win against Texas was fantastic,” JohnsonLynch said. “And I am not trying to take anything away from that win, it was an awesome game, we just don’t want that to be the highlight of our season.” The Cyclones’ win against the Longhorns was also a big win for the Jayhawks, as they now sit atop the Big 12 with a 23-2 record. Kansas looks to have locked up the conference but will be
motivated to win out the regular season to ensure a Big 12 title. The last time the two teams met, Iowa State struggled to slow down Kansas’ star-hitter Kelsie Payne, as she ended the night with 18 kills. Beating the Jayhawks will depend entirely on whether the Cyclones can manage to stop her from taking over the match. “[We just have] play great defense around her,” libero Hali Hillegas said. “I mean, that’s about all you can do, she’s a great hitter and
she’ll find her shots.” Payne’s impact on the game isn’t just felt offensively. The 6-foot3 redshirt junior averages 1 block per set and had eight the last time she played Iowa State. Luckily, in its 6-2, Iowa State can try and avoid her side of the court and take advantage of Kansas’ weaker blockers. “That’s one of the nicest things about playing a 6-2 and being able to stay away from a player like [Payne], ” JohnsonLynch said. “I can see a lot of cat and mouse in this match a little bit.”
By Brian.Mozey, @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State women’s basketball team announced Thursday that Madison Wise signed to the 2017 signing class for the Cyclones. Wise, from Greenfield, Indiana, is rated a 5-star prospect by ESPN HoopGurlz and is the 45th overall prospect in the 2017 class. She averaged 22.7 points and 10.4 rebounds during her junior year at Greenfield Central High School. “She called me last night [Wednesday] and told me she was coming to Iowa State,” coach Bill Fennelly said. “I almost steered off the road, but we’re excited to have her as a Cyclone.” Along with Wise, Iowa State also has Rae Johnson and Kristin Scott, both from Minnesota, in its recruiting class. Fennelly thinks these three upcoming players can help fill some holes — like Seanna Johnson graduating — in Iowa State’s lineup. The early signing period for women’s basketball ended Wednesday night, and Iowa State was ranked 27th for recruiting classes in the country. With the addition of Wise, Iowa State expects to move into the top 25 for recruiting classes. “These three players were huge additions to our team,” Fennelly said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what they can do for the 2017 season.”
5 keys to hockey series against Minot State By Mary.Rominger @iowastatedaily.com Cyclone Hockey will take on the American Collegiate Hockey Association’s No.1-ranked team Minot State this weekend when it travels to Minot, North Dakota. The Cyclones, formerly ranked No. 1 this season, have a chance to reclaim glory with an impressive weekend. Here are the five things you need to know about the weekend. Facing a No. 1 ranked opponent Cyclone Hockey will face, yet again, another No. 1-ranked opponent this weekend. Last week, the Cyclones played Ohio. Minot State has climbed its way to the top spot in the ACHA to present Iowa State with another top-ranked challenge. “They’ll be good. Last year they were No. 1 and undefeated,” said Jason Fairman, head coach and general manager of Cyclone Hockey. “It’s going to be a tough weekend for us.” No stranger to Minot State
In the last meeting between these two teams, the Cyclones crushed any chances Minot State had at winning the ACHA national championship. The Cyclones defeated Minot State in the quarterfinals in early March of last year, eventually lifting them to compete in the national championship. The Beavers, who were No. 1 in the last matchup against the Cyclones, are seeking revenge. “They have a chip on their shoulder from last year,” freshman A.J. Gullickson said. “So, it should be fun.” New rink, new momentum Minot State has a new arena called the Pepsi Rink that was finished and built just prior to this season. Iowa State has yet to make an appearance in the new arena. It should draw a large crowd for this weekend’s series. An online poll on the Beavers’ website had Cyclone Hockey as the most anticipated rivalry in the new Pepsi Rink. “They have a really nice arena up there,” Fairman said. “They get big crowds and they are rowdy.” Gameplan remains in order
With a skilled and physical team like Minot State, the Cyclones have to put forth extensive effort in order to put away the Beavers, who went undefeated in the regular season last year. “We have to bring our best effort. We have to play like we did on Saturday with urgency and looking to compete hard,” Fairman said. “If we don’t, it’s going to be a long weekend for us.” Cyclones gain confidence after Ohio Last weekend, the Cyclones did something they’ve struggled with in many seasons: defeat Ohio. The victory Saturday night gave the Cyclones the confidence they need to defy the bad luck they’ve had against the Bobcats. Momentum from Saturday’s victory will be important for Cyclone Hockey when facing an opponent in similar form as Ohio. “I think the momentum will carry over from last weekend,” Kaake said. “Ohio was a good team and we were able to beat them. I think a lot of guys in the room know how we can play against topend teams. The chance to beat another No. 1 team can be huge for us.”

Swim team to meet new challenge at Kansas Classic By Rachel.Given @iowastatedaily.com The Iowa State Swim team is gearing up for its first invitational of the season, but it’s a bit different this year. Formerly known as The Big Challenge, the three-day invitational has been renamed to the Kansas Classic. The swim team will travel to Topeka, Kansas, to compete against some new competition. Iowa State will take on Kansas, Nebraska, Northern Iowa, Arkansas-Little Rock and Northern Arizona. Arkansas-Little Rock and Northern Arizona are new to the invitational this year, giving fresh competition to the Cyclones. “Swimmers are notorious for looking at the program, seeing who is in there, and saying, ‘Oh,

she’s better than me, I can beat her,’ and they kind of pre-place themselves before they even race,” head swim coach Duane
Sorenson said. “That’s just from club swimming.” Kansas and Iowa State are usually close in score in the Big 12
Championship meet at the end of each season, but, historically, Kansas takes the win at this invitational. Sorenson said this meet means a little more to the Jayhawks because it’s in their home state. They gear up a little more for it; they’re more hungry for it. Sorenson believes the Cyclones get a little more focused for the second half of the season. “This is kind of a stepping stone,” Sorenson said. “If we can beat them at this meet, or even be really close to them, then we know going into Big 12’s we’ll have a little leg up.” Sorenson said this meet will give the freshman “the flavor” of a championship board of events. “You have to learn how to swim fast in prelims then turn around and swim fast again in finals,” Sorenson said. “Sometimes that’s a real hard lesson to learn, that

you can swim great at night, but if you’re not in the championship heat, you can’t win it.” Sorenson is excited to see how all of the swimmers will do this weekend, but he’s especially interested to see how freshman Keely Soellner will do. “She’s swimming lifetime best in her normal, dual meet suit,” Sorenson said. “What can she do when she puts on a tech suit?” The entire team is going to be wearing tech suits, as seen on Olympic swimmers, this weekend. Sorenson believes this puts the team’s minds in a different mode when they put these suits on. “I’m excited to get up and race, put on a fast suit and swim some events that I haven’t been able to dual-meet style,” Haley Ruegemer, sophomore in supply chain management said.
