HEAD COACH MEGAN MENZEL

MEGAN MENZEL HEAD COACH FIFTH SEASON

Megan Menzel is in her fifth year as the head coach of the University of Iowa women’s golf program in 2015-16. Menzel joined the Hawkeyes in Aug. 2011 after serving as a teaching professional at the Denver Country Club from 2009-11. Menzel’s third year in Iowa City (2013-14) was highlighted by a record-breaking performance in the spring opener, as Iowa fired an 877 (+13) to establish a new 54-hole school record at the Westbrook Invitational on Feb. 23-24. The Hawkeyes’ 36-hole score of 585 was good for third overall in Iowa history, and their 18-hole score of 291 tied for fifth. Off the course, Briana Midkiff and Nicole Rae garnered Academic All-Big Ten honors. During her second campaign (2012-13), the Hawkeyes registered six individual top-10 finishes, highlighted by Lauren English’s eighth place finish at the Challenge at Onion Creek, which earned her Big Ten Golfer of the Week honors. Off the course, two Hawkeyes -- Gigi DiGrazia and Briana Midkiff -- were named Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) All-American Scholars. Student-athletes must carry a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.50 to be selected to the All-American Scholar Team. DiGrazia earned Academic All-Big Ten honors and was also honored by the Big Ten Conference with the Distinguished Scholar Award -- the Distinguished Scholar Award is presented to student-athletes who have earned a minimum grade-point average (GPA) of 3.7 or higher for the previous academic year. In her first season as the head coach of the UI women’s golf program (2011-12), Menzel`s squad improved, both on the course and off the course. The Hawkeyes recorded top-five finishes in five out of 11 tournaments, including a first place finish at the Wyoming Cowgirl Classic. Additionally, Menzel’s team had seven individual top-10 finishes, highlighted by two runner-up finishes by Chelsea Harris and Kristi Cardwell. In the classroom, Gigi Digrazia earned Academic All-Big Ten Honors. Menzel brings a wealth of collegiate coaching experience with her to Iowa City, having served as the head coach at three separate institutions -- Boise State (1998-99), Colorado State (2000-2002) and Kansas (2002-04). During her most recent coaching stint with the Jayhawks, Menzel recruited the first individual conference champion at KU, while helping the program improve its overall conference and national rankings. She also initiated an $800,000 fundraising effort to improve the Kansas facilities and created the program’s booster organization. After two seasons in Lawrence and five seasons as a head coach, Menzel resigned her post as the Jayhawks’ head coach to focus on her growing family. Menzel returned to the golf teaching circles as the assistant golf professional at Lawrence Country Club from 2007-09. In April 2009, she joined the golf teaching staff at the Denver Country Club in Colorado. Menzel’s first coaching opportunity came at Boise State, where she was in charge of the program during the 1998-99 campaign at the age of 23. She recruited the first ever individual NCAA Regional qualifier in Bronco history. Following one season in Boise, Menzel took over as head coach at Colorado State in July of 2000. During her stint with the Rams, she recruited and coached the 2002 Mountain West Conference individual champion. Her squad qualified for NCAA Regionals in 2001 and 2002 and claimed the 2001 CSU Invitational team title. Academically, Menzel’s team led the CSU Athletics Department in cumulative grade point average during the 2001 season, and she coached three academic all-conference student-athletes during her stint at the school. Menzel played collegiate golf at the University of New Mexico from 1993-97, where she led the Lobos to three Western Athletic Conference titles (1994, 1995, 1996). The two-time team captain (1995, 1996), was a two-time academic all-conference selection, while being named the 1996-97 Bank of America Academic Athlete of the Year. Menzel graduated from New Mexico in 1998 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. She is an LPGA Apprentice and A.C.E. certified personal trainer. She also holds golf fitness certification levels I and II from the Titleist Performance Institute. Menzel, who was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is married to Craig Menzel and the couple has three children -- Kennedy, Callie, and Maclayne. PA G E 1 1

MICHAEL ROTERS ASSISTANT COACH FIRST SEASON

Head coach Megan Menzel introduced Michael Roters as the new assistant women’s golf coach on June 30, 2015. This past season, Roters helped three members of the Idaho women’s golf team earn first team all-conference honors and five more become WGCA All-Scholar Academic Team members. He also helped one member of the team become an NCAA national qualifier. In 2014 Roters coached an individual conference champion as well as a WAC player of the year. “I would like to thank Coach Menzel and the hiring committee for giving me such a wonderful opportunity,” said Roters. “I am thrilled to be a Hawkeye and become part of the Iowa family.” Roters attended Mt. Hood Community College where he obtained his Associates of Science in 2002. He went on to attend New Mexico State University from 2002-03. In 2014 he earned his Bachelors degree in General Business Studies at Lewis Clark State College. Roters became a golf professional in 2007 and joined the Canadian Tour in 2009. He participated in many professional golf events, including the U.S. Open Sectional, Boise Open (Nationwide Event) in 2008, the PGA National Assistants Championship in 2012 and the Times Colonist (Canadian Tour Event) from 2008-2010. He won the Lilac Open in 2012. In 2013, he served as the lead teaching instructor for the Washington State and University of Idaho Nike Junior Camps. The former Vandals coach played collegiate baseball at Mt. Hood Community College from 1999-2002, where he served as the team captain and was a first team All-Conference Southern NWAAC award winner in 2002. He also played at New Mexico State from 2002-2003. “I am really glad I was able to meet Mike this past month at the national championship and I am excited that he will be joining our program here at Iowa,” said Menzel. “Mike’s enthusiasm for finding the best players in the country and his skills for developing players are a great fit for our team.”

G A R Y B A R TA B I O GARY BARTA AT H L E T I C S DIRECTOR

Gary Barta enters his 10th year as the director of athletics at the University of Iowa riding momentum of recordsetting performances in every leg of the three-legged stool by which the Iowa Hawkeyes approach each day: Win. Graduate. Do it Right. A big picture view of the UI’s success in the “Win” category is provided by a review of the Hawkeyes’ performance in the annual Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup competition. The Hawkeyes completed the 2014-15 season with 535.50 points – the most points the UI has ever accumulated in the history of the competition. That point total resulted in a 44th place finish, the third-best recorded by the UI and its best since the 2004-05 athletics year. UI student-athletes continued to attack their work in the classroom – the “Graduate” leg of the Hawkeyes’ three-legged stool – with the same intensity as they pursue their opponents in competition: Iowa established a record for its NCAA Graduation Success Rate in 2014-15 while again achieving a perfect score in the NCAA’s Annual Progress Report. The “Do it Right” column was filled with successes as well. Under Barta’s leadership, the Hawkeyes continued their significant service and contribution to the greater Iowa City area community, took a leadership position in matters related to student-athlete welfare, and remained among the handful of intercollegiate athletics programs nationally that successfully operate in the black while also maintaining its status as 100 percent self-supporting.

The Barta family includes Connie, Madison, Gary and Luke.

Iowa’s success in competition was highlighted by another postseason appearance by the UI football program and deep postseason runs by the UI’s wrestling, women’s basketball, and men’s gymnastics programs. The highlights include the following:

• The Iowa football team advanced to its 12th postseason bowl game under the leadership of Kirk Ferentz. Thirteen Hawkeyes were named All-Big Ten, including Brandon Scherff, who was named the Big Ten’s Offensive Lineman of the Year, became Iowa’s 22nd consensus All-American, and fourth Outland Trophy winner. • Lisa Bluder’s women’s basketball team advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time under its longtime head coach during a brilliant 26win season – a mark that included an 18-0 record in games played on Mediacom Court in Carver-Hawkeye Arena – and its highest national ranking (11th) since the 1995-96 season. Iowa is one of 10 teams nationally that has appeared in the last eight NCAA Tournaments. Four Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors, seven earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition, two garnered Academic All-America honors, and senior consensus All-American Samantha Logic became the second player in program history to be drafted in the first round of the WNBA Draft (10th selection, Atlanta Dream) and was the 12th to be drafted overall. • Tom Brands’ Iowa wrestling squad finished second at this year’s NCAA Tournament after sharing the Big Ten Conference tournament title and claiming another dual meet championship with a 9-0 record against conference opponents. The Hawkeyes had six wrestlers earn All-American status. • Fran McCaffery’s men’s basketball team registered the program’s first NCAA Tournament victory since 2001. The season also included a big road win at North Carolina during the nonconference portion of the schedule, in addition to a thirdplace finish in the Big Ten Conference. Three Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors, including first-team selection Aaron White, who also became the second Hawkeye in two years to be selected in the annual NBA Draft. • Rick Heller’s baseball program burst onto the national stage when it raced to its first appearance in a top 25 since 1990 – the program was 20th in the final rankings, the first appearance in the final poll in school history. The Hawkeyes won 41 games – the second-most all-time -- en route to the program’s first appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 25 years. Six Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors, two Hawkeyes earned three All-America honors, and five players were selected in the 2015 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. • Under first-year head coach Tyler Stith, sophomore Carson Schaake became the third Big Ten individual champion in program history and the first since 1992.

PAG E 26

IOWAWOM E N’S GOLF Stith guided Iowa to its seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance where the Hawkeyes finished a single stroke shy of advancing to the national championship. Two Hawkeyes earned All-Big Ten honors and three were named to the Division I PING All-Midwest Regional Team. • Including Schaake of the UI’s men’s golf team, Iowa crowned eight Big Ten champions during the 2014-15 year: Dominic Patrick and Matt Hagan (men’s tennis, indoor doubles), Babatunde Amosu (track and field, indoor, triple jump), Becky Stoughton (swimming and diving, 1,650-yard freestyle), Aaron Mallett (track and field, outdoor 110-meter hurdles), Elexis Guster (track and field, outdoor, 400-meters), and Amosu (track and field, outdoor, triple jump). • Larissa Libby’s GymHawks used a season-high score at the 2015 Big Ten Conference Women’s Gymnastics Championship to help secure the program’s seventh NCAA Regional berth in the last eight seasons. The team’s score of 196.500 is the highest achieved by Iowa in conference championship action since 2004, and its fifth place team result is the program’s best finish since 2010. A school record four gymnasts were named to the Big Ten All-Championship Team, four earned Academic All-Big Ten distinction, and senior Sydney Hoerr was named second team All-Big Ten. • JD Reive’s UI men’s gymnastics squad made its second appearance in the NCAA championship in the last three seasons a grand one by upsetting fifth-ranked Illinois en route to a sixth-place national finish. The Hawkeyes were paced by junior Jack Boyle, who earned All-America honors on still rings, and season-high performances on the high bar and floor exercise. Eight Hawkeyes were named Academic All-Big Ten, and junior Doug Sullivan earned second team All-Big Ten honors. • Joey Woody’s debut season as head coach of the UI’s men’s and women’s track and field teams resulted in four Big Ten titles and 11 All-America honors. • Paced by a Big Ten champion and bolstered by eight record-setting performances at their conference championship meets, Marc Long’s men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams closed their season by scoring points at their respective national championships.

G A R Y B A R TA B I O • The 2014-15 year also marked the second straight season the Iowa’s women’s soccer team advanced to the championship game of the Big Ten Tournament. The Hawkeyes finished with 14 wins in 2014, including seven in conference play, tying the most in a single season in program history. Iowa’s “Wins” also occurred at the turnstiles, where the UI continued to lead the nation in attendance for home events of the Hawkeye wrestling program and be one of only eight programs in the country to rank in the Top 25 in attendance for football, women’s basketball, and men’s basketball. The UI also experienced sharp increases in spectator interest in baseball and volleyball in 2014-15. The 2014-15 year opened with affirmation of Iowa’s long-time commitment to the “Graduate” leg of Iowa’s three-legged stool and the student-athlete experience at the UI: In October, the NCAA reported that Iowa’s student-athletes had set a record by posting a score of 89 percent “Graduation Success Rate” or “GSR.” That mark was one point better than the previous year and seven points better than the national average. The NCAA also noted the UI had posted a federal graduation rate of 78 percent, which was also a record and in addition was 12 points better than the national average and tops among the three State of Iowa Board of Regents’ institutions. Last May, the NCAA reported that all 24 of Iowa’s sports programs were comfortably above Academic Progress Rate (APR) threshold. The NCAA also singled out the UI’s volleyball, soccer, women’s swimming and diving, and men’s golf teams for ARP scores that ranked in the top 10 percent of their peer group. Of those four, volleyball, women’s swimming and diving, and men’s golf registered perfect scores of 1,000. The 2014-15 college basketball season ended not only with the UI being one of a handful of institutions nationally which had both of its program participate in their national championship, but also with the UI being the only school in the country with multiple academic All-Americans: Samantha Logic and Ally Disterhoft in women’s basketball and Mike Gesell in men’s basketball. The Hawkeyes also boasted an academic

All-Americans in football (senior RB Mark Weisman), in addition to 153 academic All-Big Ten selections across its 24 sports programs. “Doing it Right” for Barta and the more than 225 staff of the UI Athletics Department is a charge that encompasses a long and varied list of responsibilities, including maintaining the department’s status as one of a handful of intercollegiate athletics programs nationally that successfully operates its sports programs and auxiliary enterprises in a fiscally responsible manner, and without any institutional or taxpayer financial support. The UI provides a superior experience for the more than 650 talented student-athletes who participate in the program annually, and the more than million friends and fans of the Hawkeyes and the UI who attend athletics events on the UI campus, while being responsible and productive citizens of the greater Iowa City and University of Iowa community. In 2015-16, Barta will be responsible for an annual operating budget that will exceed $90 million, with 100 percent of the revenue side of that budget be generated by the UI Athletics Department. The majority of that revenue will come as a result of success in traditional revenue sources: Income as a result of membership in the Big Ten Conference (including television), sales of tickets to events on the UI campus, and donations to the National I-Club. The latter has grown into a critical piece of the financial pie managed by Barta, as evidenced by back-to-back years of record-setting fundraising support exceeding $28 million annually. That philanthropic support has been critical to the a long list of athletics facilities that have either been built or renovated during Barta’s first nine years on campus. The list includes construction of the recently-completed $55 million home of Iowa’s football program, the Stew and LeNore Hansen Football Performance Center, $47 million revitalization of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, installation of a new videowall and video ribbon board at Kinnick Stadium, installation of a new video scoreboard and playing surface at Duane Banks Field, construction of a new indoor turf facility, renovation of the practice space inside the UI Fieldhouse used by the UI’s women’s and men’s gymnastics teams, construction of the Hoak Family Golf Facility, turf PAG E 27

G A R Y B A R TA B I O replacement at Grant Field, the home of Iowa’s nationally ranked field hockey program, and resurfacing of the Klotz Tennis Center, to name a few. Iowa’s contributions to the greater Iowa City community go far beyond the multi-million dollars of economic impact generated as a result of the staging of hundreds of regular season, postseason and special events annually. Barta and UI student-athletes, coaches, and staff are also active citizens, logging thousands of hours of community service and also spearheading efforts to support a wide variety of causes ranging from construction of the UI’s new Children’s Hospital to the UI’s extremely successful Dance Marathon to Coaches vs. Cancer. Iowa’s annual “Day of Caring” serves as the foundation upon which all these outreach activities rest. Now in its 20th year of existence, the Day of Caring happens each April and typically involves representatives of most, if not all, of Iowa’s sports programs who provide a wide variety of assistance to an equally wide variety of not-for-profit organizations that service the greater Iowa City community. “Doing it Right” also encompasses efforts aimed at improving the student-athlete experience. The UI Athletics Department invested more than $1.7 million directly into food cost for its student-athletes in 201415 in response to NCAA legislation aimed at providing a higher quality student-athlete experience. In 2015-16, that commitment will continue and will be complemented by increases to the value of the scholarships awarded the UI’s student-athletes as part of the NCAA’s effort to fully address cost of attendance. Providing the resources for the UI’s student-athletes and coaches to be successful is a priority for Barta and his senior management team. That process includes state-of-the-art facilities, which is why Barta enters the 2015-16 year working closely with institutional leadership on the finalization of a comprehensive master plan for the facilities available to the Hawkeyes. The plan will include a comprehensive review of the north grandstand of historic Kinnick Stadium; study of the feasibility of a student-athlete dormitory and dining facility of the west side of the UI campus; a

comprehensive review of Carver-Hawkeye Arena including, specifically, the scoreboards and videowalls, the creation of a main entrance and “Wall of Honor” and other enhancements to the fan experience; Phase III of the revitalization of Duane Banks Field; a comprehensive review of Finkbine Golf Course and, specifically, the clubhouse; a comprehensive review of the Gerdin Athletics Learning Center; and, development of the “Hawkeye Campus” on the western edge of the UI campus, a project that could include new or renovated facilities for indoor and outdoor track and field, softball, volleyball, gymnastics, soccer, field hockey, and tennis. Barta’s involvement in the UI campus and the greater Iowa City communities extends beyond his position as director of the UI’s intercollegiate athletics programs. He is a member of the President’s Cabinet, comprised of vice presidents and other campus leaders that provide counsel to the UI’s president. That group was instrumental in the UI’s response to record-setting flooding that besieged the campus and the Iowa City and Coralville community in June 2008 and will be directly involved in positioning the UI for growth in the immediate and long-term future as the institution responds to the expectations of the residents of the state, members of the state legislature, and the State of Iowa Board of Regents. Barta also represents the UI and the Hawkeyes at the conference and national level as a member of the Rose Bowl Management Committee and the College Football Playoff Advisory Committee. During his tenure 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 postseason bowl game agreements that were successfully implemented in 2010. Barta remains active on the conference and NCAA level. He is involved in committee work with NCAA Football, the Division IA Athletic Directors Association, and is an ongoing participant in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). Barta is also involved in a variety of community groups, including the United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties and the Partnership for

Alcohol Safety, a joint effort between UI campus leaders and the city of Iowa City. Barta often suggests to his staff that “Hope is not a strategy,” which is why the department has completed a comprehensive review and rewriting of the strategic plan for the UI Athletics Department and continues to work with the UI’s leadership on a long-term financial plan. As the director of athletics at the University of Wyoming for three years, seven different Wyoming 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 funds. 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 Washington 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 Washington, Barta also managed the department’s external relations division, a task that included corporate sponsorship and radio contracts. His responsibilities at Washington expanded over time to include hiring of coaching and administrative staff, and the day-to-day oversight of several Huskie sport teams. The roots of his development experience extend to his first two positions: director of development at his alma mater, North Dakota State University, and director of athletics development and external relations at the University of Northern Iowa. Barta earned a bachelor of science degree in mass communication and broadcast journalism from North Dakota State 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 (17) and a daughter, Madison (15). He was born Sept. 4, 1963, in Minneapolis.

IOWA CONTINUES TO BUILD FOR SUCCESS

IOWA WRESTLING

The UI Department of Athletics is under the direction of Gary Barta and is regarded as one of the top intercollegiate programs in the nation. Once again, the Hawkeyes enjoyed success both athletically and academically in 2014-15

The Hawkeyes finished the 2014-15 season with a Big Ten regular season title, a co-Big Ten championship, six All-Americans, and nine academic All-Big Ten honorees. The Hawkeyes owned an overall record of 17-1, won at least a share of the Big Ten regular season title for the seventh time in the last eight seasons, and took home an NCAA team trophy for the eighth straight season, the longest active streak in the country.

Academically, the UI’s federal graduation rate of 78 percent (for student-athletes who enrolled in the fall of 2007), meaning UI student-athletes have graduated at a rate of 70 percent or better in five of the last six years. That mark was eight points better than the UI student body and 12 points better than achieved by studentathletes nationally. For the sixth consecutive year, all 24 of Iowa’s teams exceeded the Academic Progress Rate (APR) benchmark and the program posted a record 89 percent in the NCAA’s “Graduation Success Rate.” That mark was one point better than last year’s record-setting mark of 88 percent. It is the 10th time in 11 years of the GSR’s existence that Iowa’s student-athletes scored 80 percent or better.

Iowa was one of eight schools nationally to make a bowl game in football, advance to the men’s and women’s basketball NCAA Tournaments, and play in an NCAA Regional in baseball.

IOWA WOMEN’S SOCCER In Dave DiIanni’s first season as head coach of the Iowa soccer team, the Hawkeyes won 14 contests, their third and fourth postseason games in program history, while earning an appearance in the B1G Tournament Championship Game for a second consecutive season. Seniors Cloe Lacasse and Melanie Pickert became the first pair of Hawkeyes in program history to be named first-team All-Big Ten in the same season, and just the second and third Hawkeyes all-time to garner first-team recognition.

Seven UI teams scored a perfect 100 on their GSR: Men’s basketball, field hockey, men’s golf, women’s golf, softball, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, and volleyball. All counted, the GSR for 18 of Iowa’s 24 teams was better than the national average among its peer sport group.

IOWA MEN’S BASKETBALL

Athletically, Hawkeye teams enjoyed another outstanding year in 2014-15, as a significant number of Iowa’s 24 programs reached postseason play. Iowa finished in 44th place in the 2014-15 Learfield Cup. The Iowa football team played in the 2015 Tax Slayer Bowl, the UI men’s basketball team advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row, the women’s basketball team competed in the NCAA Tournament for the eighth straight season and advanced to the Sweet 16, the wrestling team finished second at the NCAA Championships, the baseball team advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1990, and the men’s golf team advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the seventh consecutive year.

IOWA MEN’S GOLF

The second phase of the Duane Banks Field renovation was completed in 2015 when AstroTurf replaced the outfield grass and warning track. The infield was changed to the surface prior to the 2014 season meaning there is now zero dirt or natural grass at the Hawkeyes’ home venue. Phase II renovations also included the installation of a state-of-the-art videoboard in left center field and a new padded wall on the outfield fence and down the foul lines. With the first two phases complete, Phase III calls for brand new stadium seating and a new press box to be constructed surrounding the existing playing field. After completing phase I of the project for the UI football program in August, 2012 -- a new indoor practice facility -- the second phase was finished last fall. Phase II includes construction of the new Iowa Football Operations Center, which includes new team locker rooms, team meeting rooms, athletic medical training space, video operations, and coaches offices and meeting rooms. Funded entirely through private support and revenue generated by the UI Athletics Department, the project is an important phase of the master facilities plan for Hawkeye football.

Fifth-year head coach Fran McCaffery led Iowa to its third-straight 20-win season and guided the team to the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row. Iowa picked up its first NCAA Tournament victory since 2001 after defeating Davidson in the round of 64. Senior Aaron White earned first-team All-Big Ten recognition and became the second Hawkeye since 2007 to have his name called in the NBA Draft when he was selected by the Washington Wizards in the second round.

First-year head coach Tyler Stith led the Hawkeyes to their seventh-straight NCAA Regional appearance in 2015. Three student-athletes garnered all-region honors, including sophomores Carson Schaake and Raymond Knoll who were also named first and second-team All-Big Ten honorees. Schaake was crowned co-champion at the Big Ten Tournament, becoming just the third Hawkeye all-time and first since 1992 to accomplish the feat.

IOWA BASEBALL Iowa finished the 2015 season with a 41-18 overall record -- the second most wins in a single season in program history. The Hawkeyes advanced to their fourth NCAA Tournament (first since 1990), going 2-2 to post Iowa’s first NCAA Tournament win since 1972. Iowa had a pair of student-athletes garner three All-America distinctions in addition to having a school-record six student-athletes earn All-Big Ten recognition in 2015. Iowa had five players selected in the 2015 MLB Draft.

IOWA FOOTBALL The Iowa football team posted a 7-6 record in 2014, which included a berth in the 2015 TaxSlayer Bowl. The Hawkeyes placed fourth in the Big Ten’s Legends Division.

IOWA WOMEN’S BASKETBALL UI head coach Lisa Bluder guided the Hawkeye women’s basketball team to their eighth-straight NCAA Tournament in 2014-15. The Hawkeyes advanced to the Sweet 16 following opening-round victories over American and Miami (Florida) in Iowa City, giving them a perfect 18-0 record at home. The Hawkeyes fell to Baylor in the Sweet 16 and finished 26-8 overall. Iowa is the only Big Ten team to appear in eight consecutive NCAA tournaments and one of 10 schools nationally. Guard Samantha Logic became the second Hawkeye in program history to be drafted in the first round of the WNBA Draft.

A quality education is one of the highest priorities at the University of Iowa. Just over 90 percent of Johnson County residents have graduated from high school, and in Iowa City nearly half of all residents have earned bachelor’s degrees. In fact, census statistics indicate Johnson County is the 10th “smartest” county in the nation, based on percentage of residents holding bachelor’s degrees. The University of Iowa represents a strong presence in the community while enhancing the quality of life in Iowa City. Your aspiration may be a career in medicine, law or education. Regardless of the specific career field, it’s important to identify the college baseball program that places a high priority on academics and allows you to take full advantage of the tremendous educational opportunities available.

ATHLETICS AND ACADEMICS

At The University of Iowa, a strong relationship has been developed between athletics and academics, where coaches and athletes work hand-in-hand with academic deans and professors, assuring the student-athlete the best possible opportunities to excel in the classroom and in athletics. From the first visit for any prospective student-athlete, to the completion of their academic and athletic career at Iowa, academic personnel play a large role in the career of Hawkeye studentathletes. Beginning with the on-campus visits, student-athletes are introduced to professors in their selected field of study, and are able to establish a relationship and develop an understanding of the academic setting in which they will be involved.

At the University of Iowa, student-athletes learn quickly that academic success is the highest priority.

THE HAWKEYE NICKNAME

HERKY THE HAWKEYE

The University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago. The name Hawkeye was originally the name of the hero in the fictional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them.

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.

In 1838, 12 years after 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 continued their campaign to popularize the name, and territorial officials eventually gave it their formal approval.

The impish Hawk was an immediate hit and acquired a name through a statewide contest staged by the athletic 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 athletics 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 time, Herky has been a familiar figure at Iowa athletics events. PA PG A EG E3 71
