An unprecedented year From the first-in-the-nation caucuses to shifting university operations online in the face of a global pandemic, the 2019-2020 school year marked an unique year for the University of Iowa community.

COVID-19 The worldwide COVID-19 outbreak upended life for the University of Iowa this spring. Efforts to stop the virus’s spread sent classes online, cut NCAA sports seasons short, and economic uncertainty left Hawks without jobs and graduates scrambling to solidify post-graduation plans. But the crisis also exposed Hawkeyes’ resiliency. Despite being hundreds of miles apart, Hawkeyes set up their laptops, logged onto classes, and connected virtually. In Iowa City, a group of med students helped doctors and medical workers out with chores, child care and grocery runs. Uncertainty hangs over the status of the fall semester, but university administrators are planning for in-person operations to resume.

by the Hawkeye State in their quest to capture the Democratic nomination for president. Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders came within a razor-thin margin of each other, and Johnson County, home to the UI, went to Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren. However, glitches with a reporting app meant results weren’t fully reported until weeks after Feb. 3, throwing campaigns and media reporting into disarray.

P3 The UI signed a historic deal to lease its utility system as part of a public/private partnership.

The $1.165 billion 50-year deal’s net proceeds will be invested in a new endowment and allocated

to campus to fill in annual funding gaps in the UI’s strategic plan. UI President Bruce Harreld likened signing the deal to drafting the U.S. Constitution.

Shakeup in Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion TaJuan Wilson, the former vice president for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, resigned in August after a seven-week stint in the position. He stayed on within the vice president’s office of external relations and was allowed to telecommute to work as he looked for another job. The university is slated to announce its new VP for DEI in spring 2021, which means students will have the chance to evaluate candidates this coming year.

Honoring Hawkeye greats Those who watched Hawkeye Football’s Holiday Bowl game win Dec. 27, 2019, may have noticed the Tigerhawk decal absent from players’ helmets. Just weeks before, on Dec. 17, legendary coach Hayden Fry died at the age of 90. In his 20 seasons with the Hawkeyes, he’s widely credited with turning the program around. In another loss to the Hawkeye sports family, former UI athletic department head Chalmers “Bump” Elliott died earlier in December. The 21-year leader hired some of the most influential coaches in Hawkeye history, including Fry and Dan Gable. At the bowl game, players added a “Bump” decal to honor Elliott.

Marching for change After Minneapolis police officers killed George Floyd nationwide protests spread nationwide, including in Iowa City. The UI and the City of Iowa City pledged to review and reform its policing policies after law enforcement met protesters with tear gas to block them from accessing I-80. The use of tear gas prompted calls from student groups and alumni for the UI to end contracts with the Iowa City Police Deaprtment, the Iowa State Patrol, and the Coralville Police Deaprtment. Iowa City Mayor Bruce Teague said he dissaproved of how the protest was handled, and city officials marched with protesters in the following days. A group called the Iowa Freedom Riders issued a series of 13 demands, which included rerouting a quarter of ICPD’s budget to social services.

Reshaping Hawkeye football Started by a Tweet from former Iowa offensive lineman James Daniels June 5, several former Hawkeye football players called out racial disparities and unfair treatment of black players in the Iowa football program. Several specifically referenced strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle, who was placed on administrative leave. Hawkeye head coach Kirk Ferentz said he formed an advisory committee made up of former Iowa football players to drive change in the program.

Caucuses Iowa hosted the first-in-the-nation caucuses Feb. 3. In a year-long crescendo leading up to caucus night, nearly two dozen candidates stopped

Campus adapts to COVID-19 Amid the outbreak of COVID-19, the University of Iowa sent hawks home and adapted orientation for first-year students to a virtual format through the end of July.

As of June 12, University of Iowa administrators continue to plan for hosting students on campus for in-person instruction, although the details surrounding classroom structure, the week-long OnIowa! festivities, and residence hall living are still being hammered out by UI leaders.

In March, the UI sent students home, moved instruction entirely online, and closed campus buildings for the remainder of the spring semester. Summer classes went virtual, and university-sponsored travel remains suspended until further notice.

Uncertainty surrounding the trajectory of the virus’s path has left UI administrators planning for every scenario, UI President Bruce Harreld said in an early May interview with The Daily Iowan.

“We’re preparing for everything,” Harreld told the DI. “Our plan of record, as we have said for many weeks, is to be open in August as we normally would… Any other scenario you can imagine, including all online, including some hybrid — some online [and] on campus with massive social distancing in classrooms… All of those are options.”

Orientation goes virtual The University of Iowa’s first-year student orientations have moved online through the end of July in response to the global outbreak of the novel coronavirus. Despite being on a virtual platform, the UI has several resources to introduce new students to campus systems and people, including how to register for classes.

There are 27 orientation programs offered throughout the academic year, the majority of which are held between May and July. Orientation is required for all degree-seeking students. As the program moves online, students will use the Orientation Tile on MyUI and the Success at Iowa course through ICON. Once students have signed up for a two-day orientation, UI Orientation Services assigns students an advising and registration appointment for one of those days. Virtual advising will focus on registering students for their first semester of classes with their academic advisor.

Success at Iowa, a mandatory online course for all UI students, began May 1. The first section must be completed by the time new students begin their orientation.

The shift to online orientation still allows new students to meet each other. Orientation leaders will continue to help new students foster new friendships. These opportunities will be delegated through students’ UI emails.

Parents are not required to attend any orientation events and the traditional sibling orientation for the summer has been canceled through July.

Students can view photos and floor plans of individual residence halls on the UI’s housing website, where there is also an opportunity to take a virtual tour of the rooms online. The UI Office of Admissions also offers virtual campus tours on YouTube.

Any updates to orientation programs and OnIowa! events will be posted on the Iowa Orientation website.

Key University of Iowa leaders University administrators chart the course for the 30,000-student campus. Here are the UI’s top decision-makers.

President Bruce Harreld University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld has served in his position since November 2015, after he was appointed by the state Board of Regents amid protests from the Hawkeye community.

With a background in business, working with companies such as Kraft Foods, Boston Market, and IBM, Harreld did not have the higher-education experience that many campus community members believed was necessary for him to effectively run the university.

His term as the UI’s 21st president is slated to end in 2023 unless extended by the regents. The governing board in 2019 extended his contract, which was initially set to expire this November.

Since 2015, Harreld has charted the course through a $1.165 billion utility system

public/private partnership and a pandemic.

After Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds suggested the state universities explore funding options other than state support, Harreld presented the UI’s plans for a public/private agreement with campus utilities to fill a funding gap for the university’s strategic plan. The 50-year deal, approved by the regents in December, closed in March and will allow the UI to fund strategic initiatives.

This semester, Harreld has helped orchestrate the university’s COVID-19 response, which included transitioning classes online, directing employees to work remotely, and preparing UI Hospitals and Clinics to cautiously treat patients with the disease.

Each year, Harreld conducts a President’s Leadership Class offered to second-year students to develop students’

leadership skills.

UI Provost Monserrat Fuentes UI Provost Monserrat Fuentes assumed her position in June 2019. Even though she’s relatively new to the role, Fuentes has implemented a number of initiatives on campus geared toward first-generation students and underrepresented community members. Before her arrival to the UI, Fuentes served as the dean of the College of Humanities and Sciences at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Fuentes also oversees the three units that make up the Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, which is responsible for campus initiatives that are intended to engage faculty, staff, and students who identify with underrepresented groups.

Katie Goodale/The Daily Iowan UI Provost Montse Fuentes speaks in an interview with The Daily Iowan in Jessup Hall on Jan. 21.

The UI plans to hire an associate vice president for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to lead this division following the resignation of the previous administrator, TaJuan Wilson, who held the position for seven weeks. He signed a separation agreement with the UI to stay on as special assistant to the vice president for External Relations through January while he searched for another job.

VP for Student Life Sarah Hansen

Ryan Adams/The Daily Iowan University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld speaks during an interview with The Daily Iowan in the Adler Journalism Building on Feb. 13.

Vice President for Student Life Sarah Hansen was appointed to the position in March, just before students left campus amid community spread of the novel coronavirus. Hansen previously served as associate vice president for Student Life and helped man-

age strategic planning in the UI Provost’s Office.

As one of four finalists for the position, Hansen said in a public forum earlier this year that she will focus on expanding upon learning opportunities, experience, and exposure for a diverse community of UI students, faculty, and staff.

Senior VP for Finance and Operations Rod Lehnertz As UI Senior Vice President for Finance and Operations, Rod Lehnertz manages the planning, design, construction projects, and more for the university. Lehnertz began at the UI as an architect and project manager in 1994 and helped the university through the aftermath of the 2008 flood. He continues to spearhead construction and renovation projects on buildings

at the heart of campus and at UIHC.

VP for Medical Affairs Brooks Jackson UI Vice President for Medical Affairs and Carver College of Medicine Dean Brooks Jackson is helping guide UI Health Care through the COVID-19 pandemic. In his role, Jackson has helped integrate planning and operations for the College of Medicine, UIHC, and UI Physicians, which together make up UI Health Care.

Jackson also serves as a pathology professor and is internationally recognized for his research on AIDS, which includes being the principal investigator on a National Institutes of Health-funded International Maternal Pediatric Adolescent AIDS Clinical Trials Network.

Navigating a new home away from home UI International Programs offers resources to students from around the world to help Hawkeyes feel at home in a new city.

International students at the University of Iowa have multiple resources available to them to help ease their transition to campus, including programs and staffers in International Student and Scholar Services. These resources are available for students year-round to help international Hawks acclimate to life on campus, in Iowa City, and in a new country.

The UI enrolled 2,411 international students in spring 2020. To help international students adjust to living in the U.S., UI International Programs has a

An extended orientation program, called Life in Iowa, offers Graphic by Sarah Watson

Located at 308 Melrose Ave., the LNACC’s vision is to help students who walk through its doors develop a sense of belonging and community. The center encourages authentic engagement for students to connect both socially and academically. The vibrance of the center thrives on the inclusive yet challenging atmosphere that embraces and celebrates ancestry. LNACC’s affinity student organizations include but are not limited to the Association of Latinos Moving Ahead, the Native American Student Association, and the Caribbean Student Association.

Pride Alliance Center

Multicultural Student Organizations

The Pride Alliance Center, or “Pride House,” opened its doors in the fall of 2006, as a home for LGBTQ students to connect and foster an inclusive environment. Located at 125 Grand Avenue Ct.

Resources for all gender and sexual identities Gender-inclusive housing and an LGBTQ health clinic are among the services offered for transgender and nonbinary students.

The University of Iowa prides itself on its efforts to be an LGBTQ ally, and has several resources that aim to foster a welcoming environment for transgender and nonbinary students.

In MyUI, students can change their preferred name, pronouns, sex, and gender.

To make the change, select the “Student Information” tab at the top of the MyUI page. Scroll down to the “Student Life Management” section, and students can select either “Preferred Name and Pronouns,” or “Sex and Gender.” Students can then select their preferences from a drop-down menu or enter their responses and click the update button.

Students can find a map of all single-user and gender-inclusive restrooms on campus on the university website.

For transgender, genderqueer,

gender non-conforming, and/or nonbinary students planning to live on campus at the UI, University Housing and Dining created Gender-Inclusive Housing, which allows students to apply for university housing spaces without regard to their gender. Information about Gender-Inclusive Housing can be found on the University Housing and Dining website.

The Pride Alliance Center is another resource for LGBTQ students.

The center supports student success and provides a nurturing and affirming space for students.

Your student representatives The Undergraduate Student Government and Graduate and Professional Student Government both represent the University of Iowa student body of more than 30,000 Hawkeyes.

The University of Iowa Undergraduate Student Government is responsible for representing more than 20,000 undergraduate students. The student organization is made up of 30 at-large senators, constituency senators, executive, and judicial members.

USG allocates $1.6 million from the student-activity fee that every undergraduate stu-

dent at the UI pays. They delegate and oversee the funds to over 500 student organizations and various events on campus. Members of USG also advocate for UI students to Iowa lawmakers and university administrators.

UI students elect senators and top leaders of the organization every spring. Connor Wooff and Mara Smith were

elected in April and will serve as USG’s president and vice president, respectively, in the 2020-21 academic year.

Smith and Wooff are focused on increasing student engagement with USG as well as expanding diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Incoming first-year students can apply for a senator seat and be selected in the fall.

Hawks set eyes on 2020 election There are various student organizations available for Hawkeyes who want to learn more about politics and campaigning as the 2020 election season nears. students, fundraising, and voter registration — all of which will become even more of a priority as they gear up for Election Day. The College Republicans spread Republican and conservative messages across campus by organizing social events and volunteering. The group focuses on helping to provide students with job and internship opportunities.

The Young Democratic Socialists at Iowa is a youth chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America. This is an activist organization, and the group primarily focuses on the issues of racial, gender, economic, and environmental equity locally as well as nationally.

There are also nonpartisan political groups on campus, such as Hawk the Vote, the Undergraduate Political Science Association, the political science department’s Undergraduate Student Advisory Committee, and the National Political Science Honors Society, also known as Pi Sigma Alpha.

Tate Hildyard/The Daily Iowan A volunteer with Hawk the Vote collects preference cards at the University of Iowa Mock Caucus on Jan. 31. The Mock Caucus is a sponsored event designed to train students for the upcoming Iowa Caucuses.

With the 2020 general election just months away, student groups will be busy canvassing the community and campus, registering students to vote, and working to further their organization’s agenda and get their preferred candidates elected.

Many former presidential candidates were making their stops throughout the state ahead of Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucuses, and students had invaluable opportunities to work and volunteer for presidential campaigns and to interact with the candidates on an almost regular basis.

There are three main political student groups on campus — the University Democrats, the College Republicans, and the Young Democratic Socialists at Iowa. Each group is student-led and meets monthly. There is also a Turning Point USA chapter on campus.

The purpose of the University Democrats is to work to get Democrats elected to public offices. This group also focuses on bringing educational programs to

On-campus jobs abound There are several opportunities for Hawkeyes to work on the University of Iowa campus.

Jenna Galligan/The Daily Iowan University of Iowa student Autumn Moen leads a tour around campus on April 17, 2019.

Student employees are everywhere on the University of Iowa campus: from the front desk in the residence halls, the buffet in the dining hall, to behind the steering wheel of the Cambus.

Over 7,000 student workers are employed on the UI campus every year, with jobs available for any major, skill set, or level of experience. Student employment can help build résumés and provide job experience for students working toward future goals.

On average, undergraduate students who work between 5-20 hours a week have higher GPAs and retention rates, according to University Human Resources. Students working on campus are not permitted to work more than 20 hours a week and must be enrolled in at least one semester hour of classes. Students are allowed to work up to 40 hours over Thanksgiving, winter, spring, and summer breaks.

How to apply Students can seek employment through Handshake, the UI job-recruitment system where students can apply for on- or off-campus jobs and see job postings geared toward their interests. This includes internships and other full-time jobs.

Every semester, the UI Pomerantz Career Center hosts a career fair where students can interact with potential employers, ask questions, and receive applications that can be filled out that day. The Fall Career Fair will be on Thursday, September 24th from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Main Lounge and the Second Floor Ballroom of the Iowa Memorial Union.

For further questions about campus jobs and career services, students can stop by the Pomerantz Career Center.

Greek life

Panhellenic Council

The Panhellenic Council includes 14 chapters, and the primary recruitment process takes place over two weekends. Students are able to meet with all of the chapters on campus before this mutual selection process. Registration for primary recruitment takes place over the summer, but students can also try informal recruitment during the spring semester.

Interfraternity Council The Interfraternity Council consists of 20 different chapters on campus. Students interested in joining have many opportunities to do so, because IFC fraternities recruit informally year-round.

Multicultural Greek Council The Multicultural Greek Council governs Greek organizations that represent Latinx, Asian, and LGBTQ communities. Students interested in joining can attend the annual “Meet the Greeks” event.

National Pan-Hellenic Council Six of the historically African American fraternities and sororities at the UI make up the campus National Pan-Hellenic Council. Its fraternities and sororities bring in students through a process called Membership Intake, and students can learn about this at the “Meet the Greeks” event.

Hannah Kinson/The Daily Iowan The annual Fraternity and Sorority Life Weekend Carnival is seen on April 6, 2019.

Iowa has celebrated over 153 years of Greek Life on its campus. The UI has 49 chapters of Greek Life and four governing councils. There are 27 registered fraternities on campus and 22 registered sororities. About 15 percent of the undergraduate population participates in Greek Life.

Local newspapers, the University of Iowa Off Campus Housing website, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and peer recommendations are all ways to successfully find listings and available spaces. Also, apartment companies in Iowa City are valid resources when a resident is looking for a location that fits their specific needs and preferences.

Students in search of roommates can use social-media platforms such as Facebook to start their search process. Sending out messages and connecting with other students through friends is a great way to find compatible cohabitants.

Many apartment companies also offer roommate search platforms on their website, which can be used to find roommates with the same standards for their living space.

After an apartment has been found and roommates determined, a number of resources exist for students to seek out when navigating the legal and technical components of their lease. Student Legal Services in the IMU is a high-quality and free resource for students to ask about their lease, landlords, and rental agreements.

The apartment-search process is less daunting with the right tips and tricks.

Hawkeye hoops carries momentum into 2020-21

Men’s hoops propelled to fight for the Big Ten this coming season.

Luka Garza and the Hawkeyes were ready to make a run.

After Garza posted a historic season in which he earned ESPN’s National Player of the Year honor, Iowa — and every team in the country — had its postseason pulled from them due to concerns about the coronavirus.

Now, the Hawkeyes are looking to make a run when it matters.

Widely regarded as a preseason top-10 team, Iowa will return its entire starting lineup if Garza decides to return after deciding to test the NBA Draft waters.

The Hawkeyes will also return Jordan Bohannon and Jack Nunge, who missed the majority of the 2019-20 season. Nunge tore his ACL in Iowa’s sixth game, and Bohannon elected to redshirt to recover from hip surgery.

If Garza chooses to return for another season, the Hawkeyes would have their biggest question answered.

Garza averaged 23.9 points and 9.8 rebounds per game en route to breaking Iowa’s single-sea-

son points record.

He played even better on the big stage. Garza closed the season by scoring at least 20 points in 16 consecutive Big Ten games.

While Garza’s return would certainly mean the most for the Hawkeyes, they will get boosts in other areas as well. CJ Fredrick will have another year of experience after scoring 10.2 points per game and shooting 46.1 percent from 3-point land.

Connor McCaffery served as a pivotal glue guy for Iowa last season, averaging 6.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game. He also led the country in assist-to-turnover ratio with a mark of 4.59.

Head coach Fran McCaffery also has point guard Ahron Ulis, shooting guard Tony Perkins, center Josh Ogundele, and small forward brothers Kris and Keegan Murray joining the program.

Throw in sophomores Patrick McCaffery and Joe Toussaint and junior Joe Wieskamp, and McCaffery could have something special brewing in Iowa City.

Women’s hoops looks to continue success after surprising many in 2019-20.

Iowa women’s basketball team dominated at home, winning all 15 of its games at Carver-Hawkeye Arena last season.

After coming into the season without three significant players, including Megan Gustafson, from their Elite Eight squad, the Hawkeyes proved all the doubters wrong by finishing the regular season third in the Big Ten. Senior guard Kathleen Doyle exceeded her already high expectations and won the 2020 Big Ten Player of the Year award among other honors. She averaged 18.1 points and 6.2 assists per game.

Doyle was picked 14th in the 2020 WNBA draft for the Indiana Fever, one of three rookies to make Indiana’s final roster.

At center, sophomore Monika Czinano replaced Gustafson and created a force in the post. She averaged 16 points per game and shot 67.9 percent from the field.

Throughout the season, the Hawkeyes had many significant wins. In the non-conference season, the Hawkeyes defeated Princeton and Drake at home and Iowa State in Ames. In the conference season, the Hawkeyes defeated Northwestern, Maryland, and Indiana all in a row.

The Hawkeyes also scored a school-record 108 points against Illinois.

Next season, the Hawkeyes will be without Doyle and two other starters in guard Makenzie Meyer and forward Amanda Ollinger. However, head coach Lisa Bluder’s team should still be strong on both ends of the court.

Senior Alexis Sevillian is set to lead the backcourt, with junior Kate Martin and sophomore Gabbie Marshall contributing significantly as well. Czinano is slated to be a mainstay in the post, but instead of Ollinger helping her out, it will be sophomore McKenna Warnock.

A quick guide to oncampus workouts From intramurals to popular campus rec centers, the University of Iowa offers plenty of exercise opportunities.

Intramurals

Workout spots on campus

Intramural sports can be a great fit for students who aren’t competing in an NCAA sport, but want to stay active, competitive, and a part of a team. Students can participate in a variety of sports, ranging from badminton and basketball to innertube water polo and eSports.

To participate, students must purchase an Intramural Sport Membership, which can be done on Iowa’s Recreational Service website. Students can buy a membership by semester for $25 or for a full year for $45. Fifteen-dollar one-day tournament passes, and $10 single-game memberships can also be purchased for short-term activities.

Hawkeyes can participate in four types of leagues — open, women, co-rec, and friendly.

Open teams have no gender restrictions, women teams only allow women, co-rec teams must have the minimum number of male and females, and friendly teams can’t participate in a playoff.

Another component of intramurals, Unified Intramural Sports, pairs intramural sport athletes with Special Olympics Athletes.

Club sports, such as the Iowa Track and Field Club and the Ultimate Frisbee team, also offer an outlet for competitive Hawkeyes to continue in athletics.

Campus Recreation and Wellness Center The biggest rec center on campus, the CRWC boasts an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a 50-foot rock wall, basketball courts, an indoor track, free weights, cardio machines, and the Power Café, home to post-workout smoothies. Group fitness classes are also offered at CRWC and the Fieldhouse free to students.

Fitness East This smaller, less busy workout area is convenient for those living in east side residence halls.

The Fieldhouse The go-to destination for those living on the west side of campus, the Fieldhouse is home to racquetball and basketball courts, a swimming pool, and was the university’s main exercise facility until the CRWC was built in 2010.

Hawkeye home advantage Kinnick Stadium and Carver-Hawkeye Arena are two notable campus landmarks and host a number of sports throughout the year.

There’s nothing quite like a football game inside Kinnick Stadium.

The combination of AD/DC’s “Back in Black” and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” ringing over the sound system, the Hawkeyes swarming out onto the field, the now iconic tradition where the stadium waves at the onlooking children’s hospital. It’s one of the best venues in all of college football.

Last season, Iowa debuted the remodeled north endzone, including a new video board. The new look creates an even more intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams.

Iowa went 6-1 at home last season, only dropping its Oct. 12 matchup with Penn State. The Hawkeyes took down a previously undefeated Minnesota team Nov. 16, the latest in a long line of victories against top-10 opponents in Kinnick for Iowa.

Another hub for Hawkeye sports is Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Carver is the home to the Iowa men’s and women’s basketball teams, the men’s and women’s gymnastics teams, and the wrestling team.

The 2019-20 academic year was a very impressive time for the Hawkeyes at Carver. The women’s basketball team went undefeated at home for the second straight year and extended its victory streak at Carver to 36 games. The wrestling team went undefeated at Carver last season, finishing with an unblemished 7-0 record.

Joining in on the dominance at Carver was the men’s basketball team. Iowa men’s hoops finished the season 14-2 at home.

Also the usual site for some graduation ceremonies, Carver is an integral part of the University of Iowa campus.

New era at quarterback for Hawkeye football Spencer Petras is expected to take over as the starter under center after Nate Stanley’s graduation.

After legendary Iowa football coach Hayden Fry died Dec. 17, the Hawkeyes honored him in their 49-24 victory over University of Southern California in the Holiday Bowl.

Head coach Kirk Ferentz decided to strip the Tigerhawk off the side of Iowa’s helmets for the game as a tribute to Fry — who created the logo — and put a patch on the back of the helmets to honor former Iowa athletic director Bump Elliott, who died Dec. 7.

The win in the Holiday Bowl was a fitting end for Iowa’s season. The Hawkeyes, led by third-year starting quarterback Nate Stanley, finished the season 10-3 and won a bowl game for the third straight season.

A marathon victory in Ames over Iowa State and a win over a top-10 Minnesota team at Kinnick Stadium were other highlights for Iowa last season.

Moving forward, Spencer Petras is expected to take over as the new starting quarterback for the Hawkeyes after Stanley’s graduation. He has plenty of firepower on offense.

In the backfield, running back Tyler Goodson took over as the starter toward the end of last season and made an impact whenever he touched the ball. At receiver, Ihmir-Smith Marsette, Brandon Smith, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Nico Ragaini form maybe the best receiving corps the Hawkeyes have had under Kirk Ferentz.

Defensively, Iowa lost several key starters, including A.J. Epenesa, Geno Stone, Michael Ojemudia, and Kristian Welch. Next season’s defense will be led by defensive end Chauncey Golston, who finished with 47 tackles and 9.5 tackles for loss last season.

Last season proved to be another successful year for Iowa wrestling. In a season cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hawkeyes went 13-0 in dual meets during the regular season.

Ten of the top-ranked Hawkeyes’ victories came against ranked foes, including a comeback win over No. 2 Penn State in front of a sold-out Carver-Hawkeye Arena crowd.

Iowa also found success at the 2019 Midlands Championships. Five Hawkeyes won their individual weight bracket. Iowa also claimed the tournament’s team crown, shattering the previous scoring record of 189 with a team score of 196.5.

Although the Hawkeyes did not get to compete at the 2020 NCAA Championships, they still made strides in the postseason.

individual Big Ten titles. Graduated Hawkeye Pat Lugo also won an individual title.

Before the tournament was canceled, all 10 Hawkeyes in head coach Tom Brands’ regular lineup qualified for the 2020 NCAA Championships.

Lee, Marinelli, and Lugo were all seeded at the top of their respective weight classes. Nine of the 10 NCAA-qualifying Hawkeyes were seeded in the top ten of their weight class.

Nine of Iowa’s 10 starting wrestlers from last year will be returning for the 2020-21 campaign.

In addition to Lee at 125-pounds and Marinelli at 165-pounds, 133-pound senior Austin DeSanto, 141-pound junior Max Murin, 157-pound senior Kaleb Young, 174-pound senior Michael Kemerer, 184-pound sophomore Abe Assad, 197-pound junior Jacob Warner, and 285-pound sophomore Tony Cassioppi will all don the black and gold singlet again this season.

Field hockey to chase national title this fall After one of the most successful years in recent memory the field hockey team is back for more this season.

In mid-September, after Iowa’s field hockey team dropped a close home game to the Duke, 2-1 in double overtime at Grant Field, its players believed they had lost their chance to defeat the Blue Devils.

But in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, the Hawkeyes got a second opportunity. And they didn’t miss it.

Exactly two months after the loss, the two teams met once more with a ticket to the Elite Eight on the line. Cierra Smith netted two goals of the season while Leah Zellner added another to propel Iowa to a 3-2 win.

In the quarterfinal matchup, the team faced another ACC power, the North Carolina Tar Heels. Hawkeye freshman Sofie Stribos scored the first goal but the Tar Heels found the back of

the net twice after that to send the Hawkeyes home.

Iowa finished the 2019 season ranked sixth in the country with a record of 17-5, a Big Ten Tournament title, and a share of the Big Ten regular-season crown.

While the Hawkeyes graduated five seniors including All-American honoree and Regional Player of the Year Katie Birch and goaltender Leslie Speight. Leading scorers Lokke Stribos and fellow All-American Maddy Murphy will be back this year.

Hawkeye baseball cut short in 2020

A fast start to the 2020 baseball season by the Hawkeyes was brought to a halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Iowa baseball seemed to be on a road to success in 2020.

The Hawkeyes started the season with a 10-5 record and picked up victories over two top-20 teams in historically relevant North Carolina and Duke programs.

Head coach Rick Heller looked to make 2020 his seventh straight season earning at least 30 wins. He had also won his 900th game as a head coach with a dominant 15-2 victory over Grand View after the Duke victory.

But as quickly as the season started, it ended.

After sweeping Kansas in a double midweek series in early March, the remainder of the season was canceled due to concerns about the coronavirus.

The end of the season hit the pitching staff and the rest of the lineup hard.

Pitcher Grant Judkins followed his stellar junior season up with another solid performance on the bump by posting a 3.00 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 21.0 innings.

Fellow starter Jack Dreyer missed the ma-

jority of the 2019 season with Tommy John surgery but bounced back in 2020 to finish with a 2-1 record and 3.32 ERA. At the plate, Izaya Fullard continued the success he found in 2019, leading the team with a .400 average. He also led Iowa with 21 RBIs and slashed .400/.449/.583.

Zeb Adreon followed Fullard by hitting .333.

The Hawkeyes’ lineup boasted seven players with a batting average over .275 (min. eight games).

Luckily for Iowa, its seniors have an opportunity to return to the diamond. The NCAA gave spring-sport seniors an extra year of eligibility. Winter-sport athletes, however, did not receive an extra year.

With the terms of the upcoming MLB Draft still in question, the Hawkeyes’ future is still blurry. Heller said all but two seniors have said they will return if they don’t sign professional contracts.

Before they return, though, there’s a lot to pay attention to off the field that will impact how things happen on it.

Softball looks to continue turnaround The team saw a strong start to last season cut short

by COVID-19.

Iowa softball endured a difficult decade after the departure of legendary coach Gayle Blevins. However, the recent hire of Renee Gilispie has brought energy back to the program.

After a year of progress, this season looked like it could be a breakout one for the Hawkeyes. The team finished an impressive 17-5 after an exhausting travel schedule and had some solid wins.

The COVID-19 pandemic ended Iowa softball’s stellar and unexpected start to its season before it could really get going.

When the team was on the field, several Hawkeyes boasted impressive numbers.

Great pitching and strong hitting were two things the Hawkeyes built their game around. Seniors Allison Doocy and Lauren Shaw split time at pitcher, with Doocy sporting a 1.54 ERA and Shaw

boasting an ERA of 1.71. Meanwhile, two freshmen led the team with their bats, with Nia Carter having a .509 batting average and Kalena Burns leading with 29 hits.

Catcher Kit Rocco and Aralee Bogar at second base were key contributors in the field, playing solid defense and helping the pitchers. With everyone keeping their eligibility for next season, it looks as if Iowa will have the opportunity to bring back its entire team, which should continue to gain momentum and experience with growing confidence.

The team will look to make an impact in the Big Ten and break into the top half of the league after not getting a game against any Big Ten competition last season. An NCAA appearance is a possibility if the team can live up to expectations.

Soccer ready to build off historic season

After making the NCAA Tournament, the Hawkeyes are prepared to win despite several changes on the roster.

Last season, the Iowa soccer team made the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history.

Under the leadership of 13 seniors and head coach Dave DiIanni, the Hawkeyes went 15-5-1, which included a nine-game winning streak to start the season. Significant wins last year included Iowa State, North Carolina State, and Notre Dame, the latter two of which were on the road They finished the regular season fifth in the Big Ten and bowed out in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at Kansas.

During the season, the Hawkeyes averaged 2.14 goals per game while giving up 0.90 goals per game. Senior forward Devin Burns and senior midfielder and defender Natalie Winters led the team in goals with six each. Sophomore forward

Samantha Tawharu and senior forward Emma Tokuyama led the team in assists with five each.

Though the Hawkeyes are losing many seniors next year, they are primed for another good season. Expect Tawharu is set to lead the forwards, along with sophomore Gianna Gourley. At midfield, juniors Hailey Rydberg and Josie Durr should be the leaders.

On the back line, the defenders are set to hold up the tradition of being a team known for defense, with juniors Sara Wheaton and Riley Whitaker and sophomore Samantha Cary leading the way.

The most dramatic and interesting change of the season will be the goalkeeper. After four solid seasons from Claire Graves, her replacement Hannah Kinson/The Daily Iowan is slated to be sophomore Monica Wilhelm, who Iowa midfielder Natalie Winters kicks the ball during a soccer game between Iowa and Illinois on Sept. saw action in three games last season.

Cross Country

Track and Field

Both teams lost key pieces after last season but hope to see continued improvement.

After finishing the 2019 season in differing fashions, both Iowa cross country teams will be look to continue to grow off last season.

The women’s team is returning most of its key contributors, but lose leader Megan Schott. The women finished ninth in the Big Ten last season and will look to improve upon that number this season.

Sophomore Leah Kralovitz was the sensation of last season, becoming the top runner for the Hawkeyes at certain meets, including the Big Ten Championships. She finished 42nd in that meet and was the seventh quickest freshman.

She had an even better regional performance, finishing 16th overall and first among freshmen.

The squad returns plenty of

upperclassmen, with the team’s top five runners Elyse Prescott, Anna Hosteler and Ashley Bryja looking to make an impact and lead the Hawkeyes up the leaderboards.

Meanwhile, the men’s team will be rebuilding after losing several key seniors but has some solid pieces to build off.

The loss of Nate Mylenek will hurt the most, who led the team for 10 straight races and made it to the NCAA Championships.

The team loses three other seniors but will still have senior Noah Healy and junior Spencer Smith to lean on. The two had personal bests at the NCAA regionals, landing 39th and 53rd.

New recruits could make a serious impact, and watch for sophomore Nick Trattner to break into one of the top spots on the team.

Another stellar season for the Track Hawks was cut short by COVID-19.

Although the 2019-20 collegiate track season came to a halt less than 24 hours before the NCAA Indoor Championships, an abrupt end can’t detract from how the Hawkeyes made monumental strides on the leaderboards last season.

Right from the start of the indoor season, senior hurdler Jaylan McConico became the talk of the season. Out of seven meets he competed in, McConico repeatedly took first place, with his time at the Tyson Invitational on Feb. 15 (7.60) having nabbed his 60-meter hurdles spot at nationals. That time also put McConico second in the division — an achievement that also granted him multiple Big Ten Athlete of the Week honors.

But McConico wasn’t alone in posting nationals-qualifying marks. Another standout Hawkeye was sophomore Wayne Lawrence, a dynamic sprinter poised to compete in two events at the indoor championship. He and his 4x400-meter relay teammates, consisting of seniors Dejuan Frye, Antonio Woodard, and Raymund Clarke, ranked fourth nationally (3:04.91).

Additionally, Lawrence’s 400-meter time (45.56) earned him third in the division, while his PR in the 200-meters (20.87) still placed him in the top 16. His major moment in the season came at Big Ten Indoor Championships, where Lawrence snagged two first-place titles in the 400-meters and 600-meters, and a third with his relay group. That effort boosted the Iowa men’s team to second overall in the Big Ten Conference.

And, like past seasons, among the impactful was Laulauga Tausaga. The Iowa-record-breaking thrower finished her se-

nior season at number two in the shot put (17.96) and number nine in the weight throw (22.21).

More Hawkeyes who excelled tremendously this year and planned to compete at nationals included senior multieventer Jenny Kimbro in the pentathlon (4269 points), senior multi-eventer Will Daniels in the heptathlon (5689 points), and senior sprinter Mallory King in the 800-meters (2:05.12).

All things considered, the 2019-20 regular indoor season should be remembered for the stellar performances from every Iowa thrower, hurdler, and sprinter alike, between the redshirted freshmen and hardened seniors.
