Q&A with Head Coach Ross Wilson What are you looking for out of the guys in the spring season? Every year, our goal is to make the NCAA Tournament and to be top five in the Big Ten. We also hope to have guys qualify for the NCAA singles and doubles tournaments.
What will the addition of Robin Haden mean to the team? It’s big. He’s a junior so he’s got experience. He came from a top 20 program and he’s definitely had a breakout fall. He’s won more matches this fall than he had in his whole college career. He’s made a lot of improvements and gained a lot of confidence. Robin is another good player that we add to the depth of our lineup.
What are you expecting new assistant coach Greg Ouellette to bring to the program?
What are you looking for out of newcomers Jonas Larsen and Tony Leto moving forward? Jonas will be in our singles and doubles line up to start off with. He’s got to get experience playing in big matches. We’re going to expect him to contribute right away. There’s a lot of pressure on both of them but that’s what was expected throughout the recruiting process and that’s why they’re here.
How essential is Dom to this team as the only senior? What affect does he have as a leader for this team? Dom is a huge part of this team. He’s been here with me the longest. He’s stayed every summer and practiced and he’s knows what the expectation is in this program to be successful on and off the court. He’s a good role model for the guys. He provides leadership not only on the courts in practice but off the courts as well.
Greg has already made a big difference. He was the best player in college tennis when he was at the University of Florida. He was top 250 in the world and played in Grand Slams. He has more tennis experience than anyone here so he has a lot of knowledge of the game and can show the guys how to be mentally tough. Having Greg here will be a big thing for our program.

ROSS WILSON’S BIO
ROSS WILSON HEAD COACH SECOND YEAR
Ross Wilson, a former two-time NCAA All-American and three-time ITA national doubles champion at Ohio State, is in his second season as head coach and third year with the University of Iowa men’s tennis program. In his first season as head coach, Wilson guided the Hawkeyes to both team and individual success. Wilson guided and molded a lineup comprised mostly of four freshmen to a ranking as high as 45th nationally -- its highest ranking ever since the ITA expanded their rankings. Iowa amassed more wins than the previous 23 seasons, including two wins over ranked opponents and five against Big Ten competition, which are the most wins over league competition in five years. Individually, Matt Hagan became Iowa’s 18th student-athlete to be recognized on the first All-Big Ten team. The senior was ranked as high as 79th nationally in singles and 31st in doubles with partner Dominic Patrick. Hagan and Patrick made history last fall becoming only the second Iowa first-flight Big Ten Doubles champions, and first since 1958, in program history. Hagan also became just the third Hawkeye, and first since 1999, to reach the ITA Regionals Semifinals in singles. Undaunted by having a lineup stacked with freshmen, Wilson was able to get the most of his young and talented roster. Three freshmen shared the team lead in singles victories in fall and spring competition. Jake Jacoby, Josh Silverstein and Lefteris Theodorou all recorded 20 singles wins. Silverstein also had success at the Big Ten Indoor Singles Championships, advancing to the semifinals. Wilson began his Iowa coaching career in the fall of 2013 as an assistant coach. In his first season with the Hawkeyes, Wilson made an immediate impact, helping the program secure a pair of five-star recruits in Silverstein and Jacoby. Wilson, the 2012 ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year and ITA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year, came to Iowa after serving as assistant coach at nationallyranked San Diego during the 2012-13 season. Wilson was a standout at national power Ohio State from 2002-06. He was a two-time NCAA All-American and three-time ITA national doubles champion. Wilson broke the Buckeyes’ overall career wins record, career doubles wins record and single season doubles wins record in 2006. He was part of the only doubles tandem in the history of college tennis to ever win back-to-back ITA National Indoor titles (2005 and 2006) and was part of the No. 1 ranked doubles team in the nation those seasons. Following his collegiate playing career in Columbus, Wilson played two years on the USTA Pro Circuit in 2007 and 2008, winning three ITF Pro Circuit titles. Wilson also coached at the professional level as the personal coach of Sharon Fichman, who was ranked among the top 100 women in the world on the WTA tour. Wilson helped guide San Diego to an 18-10 overall mark and a 6-2 conference mark in 2013, as the team made its third-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Wilson coached four Toreros to all-conference honors, as San Diego climbed as high as No. 26 in the ITA rankings. Prior to joining the staff at San Diego, Wilson served as the men’s and women’s assistant coach at Kenyon College from 2010-2012. He helped guide the men’s team to their first NCAA Division III Tournament finals appearance in program history in 2012, while also helping lead the team to a No. 2 final ITA national ranking -- the highest in program history. Wilson was named the 2012 ITA National Assistant Coach of the Year and the ITA Central Region Assistant Coach of the Year. He coached three singles All-Americans at Kenyon, one doubles All-American team and an NCAA Tournament singles semifinalist. PA G E 6

IOWATENNIS “When I chose to attend Iowa, I knew I was making the right decision. The team is like a family to me and really helped me adjust to an environment far from home. Athletics, academics, and Iowa City are all perfect here at Iowa. The city is a great place and I can’t see myself anywhere else for school. Great coaches that lead us in the right direction for development and students are so friendly. I am a Hawkeye for the rest of my life and couldn’t be more proud!” Dominic Patrick - Senior
“I chose Iowa for a couple of reasons. First, I loved the plan that Coach Ross Wilson had for the next four years and in addition, I had a great official visit by meeting the whole team and liking the guys. Secondly, the school itself excels academically, so it was going to give me a great opportunity academically and athletically. Finally, the thought of playing tennis at a great university like the University of Iowa in a big-time conference like the Big Ten was too hard to pass up.” Jake Jacoby - Sophomore

“I chose Iowa because I really liked the tennis and the academics. I feel like every day here is a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. I thought Iowa’s program was the best place for me to improve my tennis game. I feel like being here will help me accomplish my goal of playing in a major.” Tony Leto - Freshman
“When I visited Iowa I made a great connection with Ross and the team. I felt welcome by everyone. Iowa also has great academics and that really helped in making the decision to transfer. It’s been a lot of fun this year so far and I know I made the right choice.” Robin Haden - Junior
“I knew Iowa’s tennis program would push me in the best direction to play professional tennis in the future. I was recruited by a coach who loves to win as much as I do. When Ross Wilson recruited me he showed passion for the game that I could relate to. On my official visit to the school I got to see the unbelievable facilities and how beautiful the campus was. Ross showed me all the benefits of being an athlete at the University of Iowa, including the great education and being a part of the Big Ten Conference, which is every athletes dream to be a part of.” Josh Silverstein - Sophomore
“I chose Iowa because I knew this was where I would be given the best opportunity to succeed in both athletics and academics. Since setting foot on campus as a freshman, not a day has passed without this place feeling like a home to me. I am Hawkeye for life!” Nils Hallestrand - Junior

IOWATENNIS HAWKEYES ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS Academics have always been stressed by student-athletes at the University of Iowa. In the scheduling of both tennis matches and practice sessions, every attempt is made to insure a minimal number of missed classes. The goal is to give each player the best opportunity to succeed in the classroom as well as on the court. Since the Big Ten began naming an academic all-academic team in 1987, 46 Hawkeyes have combined to earn 93 honors. Iowa has had three four-time honorees, 23 three-time honorees, nine two-time honorees and 13 players earn the honor once. Hawkeyes Mitch Beckert, Patrick Dwyer, Reinoud Haal, Austen Kauss and Tommy McGeorge were the most recent honorees, earning honors in 2010. The team has consistently set the pace for all Hawkeye men’s athletic teams in terms of team grade point average. Iowa has also earned all-America status as a team for their academic achievement. The 2000-01, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 200708 Hawkeyes were honored as national academic teams by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, the only Big Ten school to receive that honor. In addition, Aaron Schaechertle, Elwell, Sawin and Holm were named ITA Scholar Athletes for the 2005-06 season and Haal, Sawin and van Monsjou were named for the 2007-08 season. Such recognition requires a minimum 3.5 GPA. The 1971 Iowa squad (which Coach Steve Houghton was a member) posted a combined GPA of 3.53, the highest average of any NCAA team in any sport that year. That team also played in the national meet. The academic success of the members of the Iowa tennis program is a long standing tradition - a tradition that the Iowa tennis program takes great pride in upholding.
T E A M AWA R D S A N D H O N O R S HAWKEYES ARE LEADERS The Iowa Student Athlete Advisory Committee (ISAAC) is the studentathlete leadership group at the University of Iowa. It is comprised of 44 student-athletes representing all 22 sports. Over the past 13 years, four of the ISAAC Presidents have been members of the Hawkeye men’s tennis team. They include Tom Buetikofer, Tom Derouin, Chaitu Malempati and Mat Sawin. “Their selection is a great honor for both our tennis program and the individuals themselves,” said Houghton. “It represents a lot of work on their part and tremendous leadership skills.” MEN’S TENNIS PLAYERS GARNER BIG TEN HONORS From 1987-2002, the Big Ten named a Sportsman of the Year for men’s tennis. Starting in the 2003 season, the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award was created to encompass male and female student-athletes from all sports. Four Hawkeyes earned the original honor during its 16-year existence. They are Klas Bergstrom (1993), Marcus Ekstrand (1996), Tom Derouin (1997) and Tyler Cleveland (2000). “The Sportsman of the Year Award was a great honor,” said Houghton. “It was based both on a high level of competitive success and exemplary sportsmanship. As a coaching staff, we emphasize sportsmanship and are very proud to have dominated that selection those eight seasons.” Cleveland was the first player in Big Ten history to be named Big Ten Sportsman of the Year and Big Ten Athlete of the Year in the same season (2000). He was also the first student-athlete in conference history to have earned Big Ten Athlete of the Year honors in two consecutive seasons (2000, 2001). He was also named Big Ten Freshman of the Year in 1998.

FORMER HAWKEYES ENJOY PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS Former Hawkeyes Stuart Waters and Tyler Cleveland enjoyed great success on the professional circuit. Both earned ATP points and Cleveland was also named USTA Pro Circuit Player of the Year in October 2005. Both players have had success in futures, challenges and money tournaments. Both have had wins over former top NCAA players, as well as ATP ranked international competitors. Cleveland, for example, defeated Jeremy Wurtzman, a former #1 ranked NCAA player from Ohio State. Waters and Cleveland had stellar careers for the Hawkeyes, earning multiple first-team all Big Ten honors. Cleveland was selected Big Ten Player of the Year in 2000 and 2001. Iowa’s MVP award is named in his honor.

HAWKEYE ALL-AMERICAN Former Hawkeye Art Andrews was a three-time ITCA All-American in 1957, 1958, and 1959. The Iowa City native helped Iowa capture its first Big Ten championship in 1958. As a Hawkeye, Andrews was the Big Ten No. 1 singles runner-up twice, and Big Ten singles champion in 1958. He also was an NCAA semifinalist twice and a quarterfinalist once.
“All of us at Iowa are very proud of Stuart and Tyler,” said Houghton, “not only for their success on the court, but also for the classy way they represent our program.”

G A R Y B A R TA B I O GARY BARTA AT H L E T I C S DIRECTOR
The Barta family includes Connie, Madison, Gary and Luke.
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. 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 third-place 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. 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),
PA G E 2 2
IOWATENNIS 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 AllChampionship 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. • 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
G A R Y B A R TA B I O 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

G A R Y B A R TA B I O 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 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 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 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 WRESTLING
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.
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.
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.

Some universities offer the large city atmosphere. Others offer the college town experience. The University of Iowa is uniquely situated to offer student athletes the very best of both of these different worlds.

Once the state capital, Iowa City is considered one of the truly great college towns in America. The city swells with excitement on game day when nearly 16,000 Hawkeye fans from across the state and Midwest converge on Carver-Hawkeye Arena to cheer the Hawkeyes to another victory. Iowa City’s downtown area is alive and thriving. Restaurants, shops and sidewalk cafes face onto pedestrian malls full of people watchers, street entertainers and food vendors.

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. Iowa City businesses are convenient and geared toward student tastes and needs.

T HCEO N USNI D I VE E I ONWA R RTSHI ET Y C OO MF MU ITY 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 college baseball 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 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.

When a student-athlete considers her future, she should consider prospects beyond field hockey. She should consider where she wants to be five, ten, fifteen years from today, and the best course of action for getting there. Also, she should decide early on to commit to excellence in every challenge undertaken.
Barry Kemp Television producer, creator of the hit series “Coach”
Without a doubt, the men and women listed here took time to consider their future and the ways to get there. These former University of Iowa undergraduates have gone on to become leaders in their chosen fields. They also pursued their academic studies as strongly as the Iowa Hawkeyes go after a loose ball or rebound.

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.
