HEAD COACH MEGAN MENZEL
MEGAN MENZEL HEAD COACH FOURTH SEASON
Megan Menzel is in her fourth year as the head coach of the University of Iowa women’s golf program in 2014-15. 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. P A G E 11

Todd Selders, who has more than 20 years of experience as a college and prep golf coach, is in his second year as assistant women’s golf coach at the University of Iowa. Selder’s first 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. Selders joins the Iowa staff after serving as assistant women’s golf coach at North Carolina State for the past two years. North Carolina State placed second in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament in 2013 and advanced to NCAA regional competition. North Carolina State won three invitational tournament titles in 2012 while also qualifying for the NCAA regional tournament. The Wolfpack advanced through regionals to the NCAA Championships, placing 13th in the nation. “I am very excited to have Todd join our staff,” said Menzel, in making the announcement. “Todd brings excellent experience to our staff and has proven through the years to be an outstanding recruiter. I know Todd will help us continue make the climb in the Big Ten and nationally. Todd is very respected by his peers across the country and has proven at every stop along the way to be effective. I know he will be a great fit for us here at Iowa.” On the collegiate level, Selders was the associate head coach for the men’s golf program at Coastal Carolina in 2011 after serving as the head women’s golf coach at Southern Methodist University for 11 seasons (2000-10). He served as assistant men’s golf coach at Oklahoma from 1997-2000. His SMU teams advanced to NCAA regional play in four seasons. His team placed second in the 2006 Conference USA championships. Selders was Coach of the Year that season and also the WAC Coach of the Year in 2004. Prior to joining the college coaching ranks, Selders taught and coached in the Mansfield Independent School District in Mansfield, Texas. He was the District Coach of the Year on three occasions (1993-95) and served as vice-president of the Texas Golf Coaches Association from 1996-98.

He has assisted with summer junior golf camps at the Hank Haney Golf Ranch in McKinney, Texas since 2000.

IOWAWOM E N’S GOLF GARY BARTA
NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 88, a mark that was a full seven percentage points better than the national average. The GSR’s for Iowa’s football (81), men’s basketball (88), and women’s basketball (91) all bested the national averages for their sport: 70, 68, and 86, respectively.
Gary Barta is entering his ninth year as director of athletics at the University of Iowa and his 27th year as a university leader.
In addition, the NCAA’s 2013 graduation report also revealed that Iowa’s federal graduation rate of 72 was seven points better than its peers nationally and two points better than its peers on the UI campus. Paced by all-time high Academic Progress Report (APR) scores in nine sports programs, all of the UI’s intercollegiate athletics programs were determined by the NCAA in spring 2014 to be achieving at a rate academically that surpassed the national benchmark.
AT H L E T I C S DIRECTOR
The 2014-15 athletics season at the UI will build on significant momentum gained a year ago as a result of multiple successes competitively, academically, and in positive community impact displayed by Iowa coaches, student-athletes, and administrators. Last year also included record-setting fundraising support and corporate participation, as well as the completion of facility construction projects critical to the long-term success of the Iowa Hawkeyes. Progress and success on the fields, courts, tracks, and mats was significant in 2013-14. A return to participation in a postseason bowl game by the Iowa football team, a return to the NCAA Tournament by the UI’s men’s basketball team, a 4th place national finish in wrestling, the seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance by Iowa women’s basketball, an invitation to the postseason Big Ten Tournament by the Hawkeye baseball team, postseason NCAA competition for Iowa’s men’s golf, and the UI’s track and field men’s and women’s track and field teams, and a historic first time invitation to the NCAA Tournament for women’s soccer highlighted the 2013-14 year competitively for the UI. In fact, only six other programs in the country in addition to the UI had its football team appear in a New Year’s Day bowl, and both its men’s and women’s basketball teams compete in the NCAA Tournament.
The Barta family includes Connie, Madison, Gary and Luke.
Academic success by the more than 600 student-athletes who participate in 24 sport programs has always been one of the very highest priorities at the University of Iowa and remains so today under Barta’s direction. That commitment to the “student” in “student-athlete” resulted in a record-setting
Barta also believes strongly that his staff and student-athletes contribute to the community. That commitment manifests itself in literally thousands of hours of community service annually. The Hawkeyes’ efforts in 2013-14 include a leadership role in “Herky on Parade,” the largest public art program staged in the state of Iowa which the UI Athletics Department executes in cooperation with the Iowa City Coralville Convention and Visitors Bureau. It is anticipated that the Parade will bring tens of thousands of visitors to the greater UI, Iowa City, Coralville, and North Liberty community this spring, summer, and fall, and a six-figure contribution to the United Way of Johnson County and the United Way of Washington County when the project is completed. The UI Athletics Department also stages an annual “Day of Caring” each April where student-athletes of all 24 of the UI’s sports teams provide assistance to a wide variety of not-for-profit organizations. The UI football program also stages annually the Iowa Ladies Football Academy. That effort has generated more than $1 million of support for the new University of Iowa Children’s Hospital. These are two of the most public annual activities of community support by the Hawkeyes, who also make regular visits to the UI Hospitals and Clinics, and local elementary schools. A closer look at the 2013-14 athletics year reveals the following successes: • Ron Rainey’s Iowa women’s soccer team opened its season with eight straight victories, advanced to the championship game of the 2013 Big Ten Soccer Tournament, and received the first invitation to the postseason national PA G E 2 8
G A R Y B A R TA
IOWAWOM E N’S GOLF championship in school history. The Hawkeyes also established a school record for attendance when more than 1,500 were on hand for Iowa’s 3-0 victory over Iowa State in the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series match.
on the strength of a regular season that included three first-place finishes and a third-place finish at the 2014 Big Ten Conference Championship, a performance that included the low team score for the event’s final round.
• Kirk Ferentz’s Iowa football team doubled its win total from the previous season, won three “Trophy Games” – the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series, Floyd of Rosedale, and the Hy-Vee Heroes Game – all on the road, and ended the regular season with victories over Michigan and at Nebraska en route to an invitation to the 2014 Outback Bowl. It marked the 12th bowl game and seventh January bowl game under Ferentz and signaled a return to the national stage for the Hawkeyes. It also came with an extra bonus: The Hawkeyes travelled to Tampa as one of just 17 bowl-bound college football teams with a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) greater than 80 (Iowa’s was 81) and as the highest ranked Big Ten team participating in a bowl game, according to GSR.
• Long-time director of track Larry Wieczorek announced his retirement the week before Iowa sent 11 student-athletes to compete in eight different events at the 2014 NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships. The Hawkeyes responded with all earning All-America status including senior Zinnia Miller, who was honored for her efforts in the long jump and triple jump, and freshman Brittany Brown, who was honored for her success in the 200-meters and as a member of Iowa’s 400-meter relay team.
• Lisa Bluder’s Iowa women’s basketball team won a school-record-tying 27 games – including 14 on Mediacom Court in Carver-Hawkeye Arena en route to its seventh straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament, a number that only 13 other programs across the country can match. Postseason play was particularly fun for the Hawkeyes: Iowa won three games to advance to the championship game of the 2014 Big Ten Tournament and won its first round game in NCAA Tournament play for the second straight season. • Fran McCaffery continued his revitalization of the UI’s men’s basketball program by guiding the Hawkeyes to their first NCAA Tournament in seven years. The Hawkeyes won 20 or more games for the second straight season and climbed as high as 10th in the national rankings. The Hawkeyes’ 2013-14 season came to an official close in June when Devyn Marble was selected in the second round of the NBA Draft. Marble became the first Hawkeye to be selected in the draft since Adam Haluska’s selection in 2007. • Tom Brands’ Iowa wrestling team crowned one national champion and had six Hawkeyes earn All-American status en route to a fourth place finish at the 2014 national championship. • Rick Heller surprised the country by guiding the Hawkeye baseball team to 30 victories and participation in the 2014 Big Ten Baseball Tournament – in his first season as the UI’s head coach. It was Iowa’s first appearance in the league’s postseason tournament in four years. Five Hawkeyes were named All-Big Ten and three were selected in the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft.
The year was also busy administratively for Barta with the hiring of a new deputy director of athletics – Gene Taylor, the long-time director of athletics at North Dakota State University who began his career at the United States Naval Academy – the hiring of Iowa City native Bond Shymansky to lead the UI volleyball program, another Iowa City native, Joey Woody, to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Wieczorek, and Dave Dilanni, the long-time coach of NCAA Division II women’s soccer powerhouse Grand Valley State to lead the Hawkeyes. Shymansky has had tremendous success since beginning his coaching career at City High School in Iowa City, most recently as the head coach at Marquette. Woody, a four-time All-American and world champion, has played an instrumental role in Iowa’s recent successes on the track as an associated head coach for track and field for the Hawkeyes. Dilanni compiled a 221-18-18 record at GVS, guiding the Lakers to three NCAA Division II national championships and seven Final Four appearances in the last eight seasons. The Hawkeyes’ success academically and in competition also fueled interest in the Hawkeyes to levels matched by less than a handful of Iowa’s peers: The UI is one of only four programs in the country to have its football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball programs all rank among the nation’s Top 25 in attendance. Iowa also once again led the nation in attendance for wrestling and continues to rank among the leaders in Facebook and Twitter measures, and also traffic to its official world wide web site, hawkeyesports.com. In fact, 2013-14 was the busiest athletics year in the history of hawkeyesports.com in terms of unique visitors (4.3 million) and the second busiest in terms of total pages downloaded (22.8 million).
• Mark Hankins’ men’s golf squad made it six straight postseason invitations when the Hawkeyes were sent to participate in the 2014 NCAA Regional in Columbia, Mo. The Hawkeyes advanced PA G E 2 9

GR A ROYGBRAA RM TA A T O TA L P Barta and his staff have successfully leveraged the burgeoning interest in the Hawkeyes to drive fundraising and corporate support of the UI Athletics Department to record levels. Private gifts to the National I-Club for annual giving and support of capital projects exceeded $28 million in 2013-14. Participation in the offerings of Hawkeye Sports Properties, the exclusive multi-media partner of the UI Athletics Department, resulted in a record $6.1 million of revenue in 2013-14. These sources of income help Barta to fund an $85 million annual operations budget, a budget that is 100 percent self-generated – the UI receives no state tax dollars to operate its intercollegiate athletics program – and balanced in spite of scholarship costs that will easily exceed $10 million in 2014-15. The UI Athletics Department also is responsible for such things as medical expenses for its student-athletes ($800,000 in 2013-14), the cost of utilities to operate its facilities ($400,000 last year), and, of course, salaries and benefits for the more 200 full-time employees. Barta has also used private and corporate support to enhance the infrastructure used by Iowa’s sports programs. For example, the Hawkeye football program will move into the $55 million state-of-theart Richard O. Jacobson Football Operations Building that includes the Stew and LeNore Hansen Football Performance Center in late summer. To date, more than $35 million of private support has been generated for this important project. Completion of the home of the nationally ranked Iowa football program will mean the UI Athletics Department will have invested more than $220 million in construction and renovation under Barta’s leadership. The list of projects completed under Barta’s direction includes an investment in technology at historic Kinnick Stadium that includes a new sound system to be installed prior to the 2014 season, construction of the Hoak Family Golf Complex, the revitalization of Carver-Hawkeye Arena, construction of the P. Sue Beckwith, M.D., Boathouse, the UI Athletics Department’s contribution to the construction of the Campus Recreation and Wellness Center, replacement of the turf at Grant Field, installation of artificial turf at Duane Banks Field, and resurfacing of the outdoor courts at the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex.
The work is not complete, however. The UI Athletics Department this fall will begin installation of a new videowall, outfield fence, and artificial turf in the outfield of Duane Banks Field. Barta and his team are busy investigating the finalization of a master facilities plan that includes the expansion of “Hawkeye Campus,” the current home of the Iowa field hockey and soccer programs, UI Sports Medicine, the UI Athletics Hall of Fame and Museum, a new indoor turf facility that also includes an outdoor surface to be used as the practice field for the Hawkeye Marching Band, and the Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Complex located on the far western edge of the UI’s campus adjacent to the UI’s Finkbine Golf Course and near the UI’s Ashton Cross Country Course. Barta’s involvement in the UI campus and the greater Iowa City communities extends far 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 UI President Sally Mason. 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 adjusts to a shift in the funding model used by the State of Iowa’s Board of Regents. Barta also represents the UI and the Hawkeyes at the conference and national level. 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 County 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 just 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 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 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 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 (16) and a daughter, Madison (14). He was born Sept. 4, 1963, in Minneapolis.

A CAMPUS ON THE MOVE The University of Iowa campus caters to pedestrians and bicyclists; it’s compact enough to cross in a 20-minute walk. A free ride on a campus bus can cut that time in half. Entertainment on campus and in Iowa City is geared toward student budgets, with many events offered at no charge. The University of Iowa offers more than 400 student organizations, extensive recreation facilities, 50 fraternities and sororities, and a broad schedule of arts performances, lectures, cultural celebrations and club sports and intramural athletic contests to go along with the intercollegiate competition within the Big Ten Conference..
STUDENT-ORIENTED NIGHT LIFE Iowa’s campus is set right in the city’s downtown area, where you’ll find dance clubs, movies, coffeehouses, and restaurants to suit every taste. Live music can be found any night of the week in clubs and restaurants, even outside on warm evenings on the downtown pedestrian mall.

CONSIDER THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A QUALITY EDUCATION 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 gymnastics program that places a high priority on academics and allows you to take full advantage of the tremendous educational opportunities available. At the University of Iowa, student-athletes learn quickly that academic success is the highest priority.
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 student-athletes. 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.

C O N S I D E RI O TWA H E CTO RM AD MI U T IN OI N TY S
The Learning Center features an auditorium, two classrooms, study lounges for freshmen and upper-class student-athletes, a computer lab, a teaching lab, the athletic library, office space for Iowa’s Academic Student Services staff and a display area to recognize the academic accomplishments of Iowa’s student-athletes.
“The Gerdin Learning Center gives me the opportunity to be in a great studious atmosphere where I am able to get my academics achieved, along with opportunities to receive help with tutors or study groups. It is also great because you are involved with staff that cares, and also around studentathletes that understand the same schedule, practice, and time you spend here at the University of Iowa.”

THE HAWKEYE NICKNAME 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. 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. 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 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.
