2010-11 Season Preview
IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF
The University of Iowa women’s golf team comes off a solid 2009-10 season in which numerous team and individual records were broken. The Hawkeyes will compete in nine tournaments in 2010-11 before the Big Ten and NCAA Championships this spring. Head Coach Kelly Crawford enters her fifth season at the helm of the program and will return six letterwinners, including the low scorer, junior Chelsea Harris. Coach Kelly Crawford believes the returning players will contribute to the improvement of the team. “The returners are our top six players from last year. Having senior leadership is going to be huge for our program as well. Laura (Cilek) has been playing really solid. Lauren (Forbes) finished so well at the conference championship last year and is so consistent, and Brianna (Coopman) has improved a lot so we’re going to have that coming back. Kristi (Cardwell), a sophomore, learned a lot last year and played really well as a freshman. She’s worked very hard on her game and her confidence is flourishing. The confidence is growing with all of them and that is a good thing,” said Crawford. Senior Laura Cilek, an Iowa City West alum, returns for her fourth season as a Hawkeye. She competed in 31 rounds as a junior, posting an even 79 average. Her low round of 72 came at the Eagle Landing Invitational. Fellow senior Brianna Coopman registered 31 rounds in 2009-10, carding a 67 at the Challenge at Onion Creek. She finished with a 79.6 average. Iowa’s third returning senior, Lauren Forbes, finished the season with an average of 79.9 over 25 rounds. Her best round was a 74. Iowa also returns low-scorer Chelsea Harris. Harris led the team with a 77.6 average. She played 28 rounds, posting a low-round 69 at the Challenge at Onion Creek. Coach Crawford also welcomes two freshmen and has high expectations for the newcomers, Karly Grouwinkel and Woojay Choi. Grouwinkel, hailing from Mt. Prospect, IL, was a three-time all-conference selection at Prospect High School and holds the school record for the lowest 18-hole score (73). Choi, a The Woodlands, TX native, led The Woodlands College Park High School to back-to-back runner-up finishes at her high school’s district championship. Choi also was a two-time runner-up in the Manitoba Junior Girl’s Championship.

Crawford expressed her high expectations for her incoming freshmen. “Both have super fundamentals and both are going to develop into outstanding contributors for our team. Karly has an athletic swing and she hits the ball so far. Woojay has only been playing golf a few years and already is so advanced with her game and is putting up low numbers. It’s going to be fun watching these two improve and become top players over the next four years. We’ll look forward to getting them into the mix and experiencing college golf.” The Hawkeyes will also welcome back Assistant Coach John Owens for his second season. Owens, a Midland University alum, had four years of coaching experience between Division NAIA Midland University and Division I Troy University before coming to Iowa. “He (Coach Owens) has been a tremendous addition to our staff. He’s very knowledgeable and works really will with the players,” noted Crawford. “He’s got a lot of great ideas and has done a fantastic job recruiting. I really enjoy working with John. We have high expectations for this team and I have a feeling that this year is going to be much different than years past. Not only are we going to play well, and I expect records to be broken, but we’re all going to have a lot of fun along the way.” The women’s golf team will play a challenging fall 2010 schedule, opening in Lincoln, NE on September 13-14 at Chip-N-Club Invitational. The Hawkeyes then return home for their only home meet of the season, competing in the Hawkeye Invitational on September 18-19. They will once again hit the road, heading to Madison, WI to play in the Badger Invitational on September 26-27. The Lady Northern tournament is next, as the Hawkeyes will travel to Chicago, IL to compete on October 11-12. The team will tee it up for the last time during the fall on November 1-2 in Austin, TX at the 2010 Challenge at Onion Creek. Coach Crawford believes her team will play well this season and is holding a high standard. “I really believe that we can keep our scoring average around 300. That’s our goal. We certainly have the talent and this team is very connected. I believe in these girls and I am really excited to see what the season brings,” concluded the Hawkeye coach.

IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF Laura Cilek
Kristi Cardwell
Brianna Coopman
Allison Cavanaugh
Chelsea Harris
The University of Iowa women’s golf teams finished the 2009-10 with a disappointing finish at the Big Ten Championships but set numerous team and individual bests throughout the season. “I think after last year’s conference championship the girls were pretty disappointed in their finish because we’d been playing so well leading up to that point and everybody had been improving,” said Head Coach Kelly Crawford. “We just didn’t get it done last year. I think that’s what kept them motivated all summer and certainly something we’re going to keep our eye on for next year.” Iowa lost just one senior from last year’s squad, Allison Cavanaugh. Cavanaugh competed in five tournaments, averaging 83.4 in the three fall tournaments and a 78.1 in two spring events. Her season low of 73 was recorded at the Jack Rabbit Invite. Cavanaugh was an academic all-Big Ten selection. Iowa will return three seniors in 2010-11 in Laura Cilek, Brianna Coopman, and Lauren Forbes. “I really want them to have a fun year,” said Crawford of her returning seniors. “First and foremost, just enjoy the year and enjoy the experience. Embrace being a Hawkeye, you can go out anyway you want to. I really hope that they have a lot of fun individually and as a team. That’s the first thing, but also I just hope they can all achieve some goals and have great, career years so that they can leave with that taste in their mouth and just feel really good about their experience at Iowa.” The Hawkeyes posted an average team score of 309.1 over 15 rounds during the 2009 fall. Their best finish came at the Hawkeye Invitational, finishing fifth out of 13 teams. Brianna Coopman recorded the lowest 18hole score of the fall, posting a 67 at the Challenge at Onion Creek.
14 2011 Media Guide.indd 14
In the spring, the Black and Gold competed in five events consisting of 16 rounds. The Hawkeyes best finish was sixth at the Jack Rabbit Invitational. Laura Cilek and Chelsea Harris cared the team’s low 18-hole score. Cilek finished with a 72 at the Eagle Landing Invitational. Harris posted her 72 at the Indiana Invitational. Chelsea Harris was Iowa’s low scorer last fall and spring. In the fall, she averaged 77.2 over 12 rounds. She posted a 69 at the Challenge at Onion Creek. She averaged 77.9 during the spring season. She competed in 16 rounds, carding a low score of 72 at the Indiana Invitational. The Black and Gold also garnered some individual accolades in 2009-10. Along with Allison Cavanaugh, Laura Cilek was also named to the academic all-Big Ten team. Cilek was also named Big Ten player of the week for March 17 after she posted a 72 at the Eagle Landing Invitational. The Big Ten Sportsmanship Award rounded out Cilek’s accolades. She was one of 22 athletes to be chosen for the award. Letterwinners included Cavanaugh, Cilek, Coopman, Harris, Kristi Cardwell, Gigi DiGrazia, and Lauren Forbes. “A couple of the players stayed around here and worked on their games last summer,” commented Crawford. “A couple of them played in the Illinois Open. Kristi (Cardwell) played in some USGA events and some other tournaments. So they gained additional tournament experience. They spent a lot of time working on their games. I can definitely see some of the work that went into their short game, putting, and bunker play. To me, those are the areas that we really need to improve upon so it’s really nice from a coaching perspective to know that they put in that time and we’re already seeing the improvements.”

Finkbine Golf Course
IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF
Located on the western edge of The University of Iowa campus, just walking distance from Kinnick Stadium and CarverHawkeye Arena, is Finkbine Golf Course. It is the full-time practice and competition site for the Iowa women’s and men’s golf teams. The course was renovated in the fall of 2003, with the addition of bent grass fairways and greens. The par-72 layout is prized by the University and Iowa City golfing community. Finkbine was the site of the Amana VIP Pro-Am for more than 20 years, and in 1991 became the site of the Ben Hogan Hawkeye Open.
20 2011 Media Guide.indd 20
Finkbine was also the site of the 1993 and 2003 Big Ten Women’s Golf Championships, and served as the host site for the 2002 men’s league championship. Additionally, the women are proud hosts of the annual Hawkeye Invitational. The course usually opens to the public in early April and remains playable well into November. The University maintains Finkbine’s lush tees, fairways and greens with its totally automated irrigation system. The system features dual row piping, which not only streamlines the irrigation to the center of the fairways, but supplies water to the outlying areas, as well as to much of the rough.
Indoor practice facilities available to the UI women’s golf team in the UI Field House include hitting nets and an artificial putting area, a large-screen television for videotaped practices and lessons, and a digital camera/ computer system.

Finkbine Golf Course
IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF
Finkbine challenges a golfer virtually every time she addresses the ball. Seventeen holes have bunkers that come into play, and the lone hole that does not, the par-three 13th hole, is surrounded by water. Tee-to-green distance can vary from 5,800 to 6,500 yards.

Why Iowa?
IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF “The reason I chose Iowa was because I felt that Coach Crawford and staff could help me get to the next level with my game. On top of that, I love the campus, city and especially the Hawkeye spirit! I wanted to get further away from home and meet new people and I also felt that I fit into the golf team very well. The girls have great team leadership and I wanted to become a part of that! I’m looking forward to studying elementary education at Iowa.” Sophomore, Kristi Cardwell
“I chose Iowa because of the great academic and athletic opportunities that it offers. The Big Ten Conference is one of the top conferences in the nation to compete in. Both my parents are from Iowa, so it feels like home to me. I was very impressed by the Hawkeye fans and the amazing school spirit that lives in Iowa City. When I arrived on campus, I knew this was the place for me!” Senior, Lauren Forbes
“There are many reasons why I chose Iowa. The first reason is Iowa City. The town is all about the University, it is a true college town. Another reason is our coach, Kelly Crawford. She truly loves the university and our team. She has great experience with collegiate golf and has tremendous dedication to the girls. Then the team itself. When I came to make my visit, I could tell there was this connection with all the girls, and that is the main key in a great team.” Senior, Brianna Coopman
“I chose the University of Iowa because my family has always been a big Iowa family, so I grew up wanting to go here. The coaches and team were very welcoming on my visit. Iowa just felt like the right fit for me and it feels like my second home.” Freshman, Karly Grouwinkel
“I chose The University of Iowa because I knew it would offer me a great education and it has a lot to offer athletically, as well.” Junior, Chelsea Harris
“I chose Iowa for its great athletic and academic programs. I also love my teammates and coaches and it felt like a nice fit for me. Lastly, I always wanted to play for a Big Ten school.” Freshman, Woojay Choi
22 2011 Media Guide.indd 22
“I chose to come to Iowa because I grew up as a Hawkeye my whole life, and as a kid it was always my dream to play for the Hawks someday. When I started looking at schools, Iowa had just hired a new golf coach who was really excited about the program and where it was going, which impressed me. Also, Iowa is a very good school academically and getting a good education is just as important to me as competing.” Senior, Laura Cilek “I choose Iowa because it seemed like the perfect fit for me. I felt right at home in Iowa City and Coach Crawford and the team made me feel very welcomed. I look forward to the chance to compete and get my education at a Big Ten university.” Sophomore, Gigi DiGrazia

Some of the Big Ten Network’s streamed events are also televised on delay as part of the network’s Student U initiative. Big Ten students on each campus produce and announce these events, offering a unique opportunity to gain real-world television experience.
Why the Network Was Created
http://www.bigtennetwork.com/channelfinder
24
In addition to live events, the network also airs coaches’ shows and classic games and each campus has the opportunity to produce original, campus programming highlighting various aspects of campus life and the qualities that make each university unique.
The Big Ten Network was created to provide the conference with more national exposure for Big Ten sports while enhancing its existing television agreements with its other television partners. The conference wanted to control more fully the advertising environment in which its events were aired (the network accepts no alcohol or gambling advertising), dramatically increase exposure for women’s sports and other NCAA sports that had not previously been widely televised and improve distribution for football and men’s basketball games that were previously available only on a local or regional basis. Considered to be one of the most successful launches in cable television history, the Big Ten Network became the first network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million subscribers within its first 30 days on the air. The Big Ten Network is a joint venture between subsidiaries of the Big Ten Conference and Fox Cable Networks.
The Big Ten Network’s Impact
The network has provided an additional revenue source at a time of continued decreases in state support. The network has also provided significant and additional exposure for all Big Ten men’s and women’s sports, some of which previously received little or no television exposure. It also helps with recruiting in all sports as the ability for parents to watch their children compete from anywhere across the country is a major selling point.

HAWKEYE ADMINISTRATION
IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF Gary Barta Director of Athletics “Hope is not a strategy,” is a common refrain of the University of Iowa’s Gary Barta. So, as Barta enters his fifth year as the UI’s director of intercollegiate athletics – and his 24th year in athletics administration – he does so diligently working a plan that contributed to historic success for the Iowa Hawkeyes in 2009-10 and is setting the stage for more of the same in the years ahead. Competitively, two events stand alone at the top of the list of achievements by UI teams in 2009-10: Iowa’s dominating victory over Georgia Tech in the 2010 FedEx Orange Bowl and yet another national championship for the UI wrestling program. The victory over the Yellow Jackets in Land Shark Stadium in Miami was Iowa’s 11th of the college football season and its first in a Bowl Championship Series event since the Hawkeyes’ victory over California in the 1959 Rose Bowl. It was the final chapter in a season that opened with a school-record nine straight victories by Kirk Ferentz’s squad, a streak that electrified fans of the Hawkeyes and triggered another pilgrimage of fans of the team to their second BCS appearance under Ferentz. Tom Brands’ Iowa wrestling squad crowned three national champions and eight Hawkeyes earned all-America honors while leading the UI to its 23rd NCAA title in school history. The championship was the third straight under Brands and it came rather handily – Iowa finished 44.5 points ahead of its nearest competitor – and, as more often than not – after yet another Big Ten Conference championship. As inspiring as the achievements of Iowa’s football and wrestling teams were, they weren’t the alone. Iowa’s women’s basketball team overcame a series of injuries to secure 20 victories, reach the championship game of the post-season Big Ten Tournament, and advance to NCAA Tournament play for the third straight year. The Iowa men’s golf team used a second place finish at the 2010 Big Ten Conference Championship to secure an at-large invitation to NCAA Regional play where it finished tied for sixth and just one stroke shy of its second straight appearance in the national championship. First-year coach Katie Dougherty guided the UI’s women’s tennis team to its first NCAA post-season action since 2006. The squad was powered by the nationally-ranked doubles team of Merel Beelen and Sonja Molnar. The Iowa baseball team won seven of its last eight regular season league games to advance to the Big Ten Tournament when the Hawkeyes marched to the championship game for the first time since the 1983 season. The Iowa men’s track and field team advanced 32 athletes to NCAA postseason competition after a fourth-place finish by the men’s squad at the Big Ten Championships. That finish was the Hawkeyes’ best since 2006 and was sparked by three individual champions. Barta and the UI Athletics Department also enjoyed historic success out of competition including, most notably, significant improvements to the facilities used by the more than 700 student-athletes who represent the UI in intercollegiate athletics competition. In September 2009, the University of Iowa and the UI Athletics Department dedicated the $7 million P. Sue Beckwith, M.D. Boathouse, a 20,000-square-foot facility built right on the bank of the Iowa River off of Dubuque Street in Terrill Mill Park. In November 2009, the UI broke ground on a multi-million dollar addition and renovation of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the 28-year-old competitive home of the Hawkeye men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball programs. The Carver-Hawkeye Arena Revitalization Project will greatly improve the practice, strength training, and conditioning facilities for a myriad of sports programs in addition to providing new office space for the vast majority of Iowa’s administrative and coaching staffs in addition to new locker room and support facilities for Iowa’s men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and volleyball teams. In fall 2010, Barta will join the campus community in celebrating the opening
of the $69 million Campus Wellness and Recreation Center. The facility will provide unparalleled recreational opportunity for UI students, faculty and staff, and the greater Iowa City community in addition to being the new full-time home of the UI’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving programs. The UI also expects to break ground on an addition to the facilities used by the Iowa football program during the 2010-11 year. Funded entirely through private support, the project is an important next phase of the master facilities plan for Hawkeye football. The project will include the construction of a new indoor practice facility, upgraded and improved locker rooms, team rooms, strength and conditioning facilities, and spaces used for the day-to-day operation of the UI’s football program. The construction of the Ron and Margaret Kenyon Outdoor Practice Facility – a facility envied by many collegiate programs and NFL franchises – and the $89 million renovation of historic Kinnick Stadium were phases 1 and 2 of the master plan. While Iowa continues to move the facilities it makes available to student-athletes forward, the UI’s commitment to the academic piece of the student-athlete experience remains paramount – and successful. According to information released annually by the NCAA, the graduation rate for student-athletes who enrolled at the University of Iowa in the fall of the 200203 academic year was 70 percent, six percentage points better than the national average and two points better than a year ago. The graduation rate for UI student-athletes was also four percentage points better than the rate for all UI students. The football program at the UI - with a Graduation Success Rate of 74 ranked second only to Cincinnati among the ten teams invited to participate in the five 2010 Bowl Championship Series events. Iowa also ranked third among the seven bowl-bound Big Ten Conference teams. The UI’s field hockey, softball and men’s cross country teams were among the NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics programs singled out by the NCAA for Academic Progress Reports (APR) in the top 10 percent of all teams in their specific sport. In fact, for the second straight year all 24 of Iowa’s teams exceeded the NCAA’s APR benchmark and compared favorably to their peers in the Big Ten and nationally. Barta’s involvement in the UI campus community extends well beyond intercollegiate athletics. He is a member of the cabinet comprised of vice presidents and other campus leaders that provides counsel to UI President Sally Mason. Barta also represents the UI and the Hawkeyes at the conference and national level as well. During his first four years at the UI, he has participated in the creation and implementation of the Big Ten Network, the expansion of the Big Ten Conference and realignment of athletics conferences nationally, and the Big Ten’s post-season bowl game agreements that go into effect this college football season. Nationally, Barta remains active in the Division IA Athletics Directors Association, the National Association of College Directors of Athletics, and currently serves on the NCAA Football Committee Board of Directors. As the director of athletics at the University of Wyoming for three years, seven different UW coaches were named Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year. He also spearheaded a fund-raising effort that netted the Cowboy athletics program $11 million in private support and $11 million in matching state fund. As the senior associate athletics director at the University of Washington, he directed the “Campaign for the Student-Athlete,” was a participant in the design, construction and/or renovation of several UW athletics facilities including Bank of America Arena and the Dempsey Indoor Practice Facility. In addition to almost doubling the amount of annual private support received by UW, Barta also managed the department’s external affairs division, a task that included corporate sponsorship and radio contracts. The roots of his development experience extend to his first two positions: director of athletics development and external relations at the University of Northern Iowa and director of development at his alma mater, North Dakota State University. Barta earned a Bachelor of Science degree in mass communication and broadcast journalism from NDSU in 1987. He was an option quarterback for Bison football squads that won the Division II NCAA national championship in 1983, 1985 and 1986. Barta, and his wife, Connie, have a son, Luke (12) and a daughter, Madison (10). He was born September 4, 1963, in Minneapolis, MN.

STRENGTH TRAINING & SPORTS MEDICINE
IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF Athletic Training & Sports Medicine Con nuing to set the standard in athle c training and Sports Medicine Service, The University of Iowa provides the student-athlete with exemplary medical care. Athle c Training Services is the largest component of the University of Iowa Sports Medicine program. UI Sports Medicine is a mul disciplinary healthcare team housed within the UI Sports Medicine Center, as part of University Hospitals & Clinics (UIHC), striving to provide exemplary everyday care for all studentathletes. The team consists of Athle c Training, Orthopaedics, Primary Care, Physician Assistants, Radiology, Physical Therapy, and Nursing. In addi on, Athle c Training Services connect student-athletes to UIHC resources and specialty areas. Iowa’s staff of 12 full- me licensed athle c trainers and six graduate assistant licensed athle c trainers provide health care services within four athle c training rooms and other ancillary facili es, involving injury rehabilita on and preven on programs among other health care services. When injuries and illness occur Iowa’s athle c trainers provide treatment and rehabilita on programs to facilitate appropriate return to par cipa on. Services from the UIHC, among the world’s largest university-owned teaching hospitals, support the efforts of the athle c trainers and other specialty sports medicine staff. Located next to Kinnick Stadium, the hospital offers a cu ng-edge environment where staff physicians, sports medicine fellows, sports physical therapists, and athle c trainers care for student-athletes and produce successful outcomes. Dedicated research and educa on result in outstanding care. In October 2009, the Ins tute for Orthopaedics, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitaon (IOSMR) opened to further enhance the care for student athletes. This new facility houses the UI Sports Medicine Center. Athle c trainers form a team with orthopaedic and primary care physicians for every Hawkeye sport. Many of the physicians are fellowship trained in their specialty area and lecture locally, na onally, and around the world. In addi on, each athlete has access to orthodon sts, nutri onists, psychologists, and specialty physicians at the UIHC. Priority access to see physicians and other health care professionals provides exper se for comprehensive health care that returns the student-athlete to prac ce and compe on promptly and safely.
The Hawkeye Strength Training Program The University of Iowa Strength and Condi oning Department is commi ed to providing the ul mate training experience for each Hawkeye student-athlete. Our focus is the development of the complete student-athlete through the use of proven scien fic methods for reducing the risk of injury, as well as maximizing each studentathletes’ athle c poten al. Equally as important, our staff will foster a culture of rela onship building in which we will seek to enhance the intangible character traits required for each Hawkeye to reach his or her championship poten al on and off the playing stage. Strength & Conditioning Philosophy The philosophy of this program consists of two components. The first is to con nually develop a scien fically sound program that will maximize strength, power and explosiveness in order to allow the athlete to get the utmost out of their gene c poten al, and to reduce the chance of injury. This will primarily be accomplished through the use of ground based free weight exercises and the progressive incorpora on of func onal movements and plyometrics. The second is to establish a culture which will develop the discipline, character and mental toughness within each student-athlete and team as a whole so that they are able to make sacrifices in their training, leave their comfort zone and develop a Championship ATTITUDE. This will encourage them to make the most out of every situa on and opportunity given to them in athle cs and academics, so that they might know what it is to be fully commi ed to something. When these two converge, they are not only able to reach their full poten al; they become champions on and off the playing field.

Success. Iowa’s philosophy is that if students meet the entrance requirements, the University is going to do everything it can to help students to graduate. An Iowa degree spells success in the job market, giving students the skills to con nue learning and growing throughout their careers. Excellence. The faculty is stellar. Students are amazed not only at how much they know but at how enthused they are about sharing that knowledge and ge ng students excited about their subject. Comfortable class sizes A ending a large university does not necessarily mean having large class sizes. More than 30,000 students are enrolled at Iowa, but the UI has a student-to-faculty ra o of 15:1. Large lecture halls host a few of the most popular undergraduate courses, with several hundred students in a endance. However, most lectures are complemented by classroom discussions among smaller groups. Altogether, 92 percent of undergraduate classes have fewer than 50 students in them; 80 percent have fewer than 30 students. Less than 4 percent of undergraduate classes have more than 100 students in them.

HAWKEYE TRADITIONS
IOWA WOMEN’S GOLF The Hawkeye Nickname The University of Iowa borrowed its athle c nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago. The name Hawkeye was originally the name of the hero in the fic onal novel, The Last of the Mohicans, wri en by James Fenimore Cooper. Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them. In 1838, 12 years a er the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefly through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison. Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawkeye. The two men con nued their campaign to popularize the name, and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval. Herky The Hawkeye The Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawkeye was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism at Iowa. The impish Hawk was an immediate hit and acquired a name through a statewide contest staged by the athle c department. John Franklin, a Belle Plaine alumnus, was the man who suggested Herky. Since his birth more than 45 years ago, Herky has symbolized Iowa athle cs and epitomized University life. He even donned a military uniform during the Korean War and became the insignia of the 124th Fighter Squadron. During the mid-1950s, Herky came to life at a football game as the Iowa mascot. Since that me, Herky has been a familiar figure at Iowa athle cs events. School Colors For 40 years Iowa was without school colors, but in 1887 a group of 50 seniors met on the steps of the Old Capitol to decide what are now the school official colors. They chose Old Gold, the color of Iowa’s vast corn fields and Black, the color of the rich soil.
School Fight Song The Iowa Fight Song was wri en in 1950 by Mason City, Iowa, na ve Meredith Willson. Best known as the creator of Broadway’s “The Music Man,” Willson was awarded a 1963 University of Iowa Alumni Associa on Dis nguished Service Award for “se ng the spirit of Iowa to music.” The lively cheer is sung hundreds of mes during Iowa athle cs events the year around. The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA Let every loyal Iowan sing; The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA UnƟl the walls and raŌers ring (Go Hawks!) Come on and cheer, cheer, cheer for IOWA Come on and cheer unƟl you hear the final gun. The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA UnƟl the game is won.
