1,076 people turn out to enjoy inaugural expo

By Caitlin.Deaver @iowastatedaily.com

After warming bacon since 6 a.m., overseeing bacon festivities for four people-packed hours and being interviewed countless times, Jake Swanson, Bacon Expo chairman, sat down for the first time that Saturday in quiet amazement.

Having pitched the idea of an Iowa State Bacon Expo, which was held on Oct. 19, back in February, Swanson and his 60-member committee planned the event over the last six months.

“Being the first [student-powered] Bacon Expo, too many things could’ve gone wrong, but they didn’t,” said Kristin Liska, co-chairwoman of the ISU Bacon Expo and senior in animal science.

Swanson, who is also president of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Student Council, said one of the only things he would change about the event was the weather, which was cold and drizzly.

“With any first-year event, there will be obstacles to overcome,” Swanson said.

“Trying to coordinate so many vendors and making sure they’re licensed is a challenge.”

Putting together a vendor packet that met the requirements of the Iowa State Risk Management office was the biggest obstacle.

“It was tough because we didn’t know the exact number of vendors a couple weeks ago,” Swanson said.

The Bacon Expo had 22 vendors and various student clubs. Each vendor offered unique bacon items.

“It [was] a really great time,” said Jill Martin, one of the Scratch Cupcakery vendors who had bacon cupcakes. “I’ve had lots of fun handing out cards and cupcakes.

I’d definitely come back next year [for Bacon Expo 2014].”

The vendors weren’t the only ones pleased with the outcome.

Blurring the lines of rivalry, both Cyclone and Hawkeye fans came together for their shared love of bacon. Cardinal and gold, as well as black and gold, could be seen throughout the crowd.

“This is a great event,” said Denise Fuegen, University of Iowa fan, from Muscatine, Iowa. “My favorites are the barbecue bacon and the bacon cupcakes.”

Iowa State students also came out to satisfy their hunger for bacon.

“The food is delicious,” said Sarah Pearce, ISU graduate assistant in animal science. “I love bacon and this event.”

The first bacon event was the “How Do You Wear Your Bacon?” fashion show.

Teams were to design and construct a wardrobe out of raw bacon.

“When I first heard about the Bacon Expo, I was really excited,” said Sara Kinderknecht, ISU Fashion Show co-producer and senior in apparel, merchandising and design. “We combined food and fashion, two of my favorite things, into a fashion show.”

The bacon fashion show was a partnership between the ISU Bacon Expo and The Fashion Show 2014. This collaboration began when Swanson contacted

Allison Mettler won the female heat of the bacon-eating competition ingesting 82 grams of fat and 737 calories. The male winner, Mark Williams, ate 68 grams of fat and 608 calories.

A total of 1, 200 pounds of bacon was cooked at the 2013 Bacon Expo equalling 21,600 slices. About 48 pigs, 450 slices each, were cooked for the event in Scheman Courtyard.

Kinderknecht to invite The Fashion Show 2014 to be part of the expo. The baconthemed fashion show was inspired by Lady Gaga’s 2011 Franc Fernandez meat dress.

Each team could use 10 pounds of Hormel and Corn King bacon and had a little over an hour to complete their designs.

Other materials, such as hot glue and fishing line, were available, too.

Two teams signed up for the fashion show. One team was composed of Braiddey Ruzicka, junior in industrial design, and

Kellen Gorman, freshman in pre-architecture and model.

Gorman modeled a bacon-covered hat, tie and suspenders, a bacon handkerchief and a bacon-wrapped cane.

“Wearing raw bacon [was] definitely a new experience,” Gorman said.

Gorman and Ruzicka used five pounds of bacon for their wardrobe.

The other team included Jacob

Proposed center creates partnership ISU Police arrest

ex-student found camped in Coover

By Seth.Young @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s Institute for Transportation is tentatively preparing for a significant addition to its department.

With a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, a new Midwest Transportation Center might be partnering with the institute and the College of Engineering in the near future.

The Midwest Transportation Center is generally focused on conducting research into the safety and maintenance of roadways throughout the country. The centers are working together and separately on various local and national issues regarding roadways they are tasked with solving.

Among the issues faced

by Midwest Transportation Center’s research teams is improving the performance of pavement materials in certain weather conditions.

For students in the College of Engineering, the Midwest Transportation Center could be an opportunity to get experience in the transportation fields.

“A big portion of what we do is education,” said Omar Smadi, research sci-

entist for the Institute of Transportation. “And we’re not just focused on college education: We also have a K-12 program.”

Awaiting approval from the Board of Regents, the grant amounts to two installments of $2,592,500 awarded annually to fund the project’s establishment and operation.

Six schools are expected to be involved in the efforts: Creighton, Harris-

Stowe State, MissouriColumbia, Missouri-St. Louis, Wichita State and Iowa State.

Shauna Hallmark, the interim director for the Institute of Transportation, said an estimated 40 students and 18 researchers will be able to work for the new center upon its establishment.

Should the Board of Regents decide to approve the plans of establishment,

it might not be long before it can be even more greatly expanded.

“The nice thing about a MTC is you can leverage funds to hire more students and do more research,” Smadi said.

Smadi also said the Midwest Transportation Center working with Iowa State could potentially be valuable for the city of Ames and even the country as a whole.

The ISU Police Department has arrested a former international student who police say was camped out in Coover Hall.

A missing laptop led police to the arrest of Le Dinh Oung.

Jane Dawson, senior lecturer of geology, was in her office in Science 1 on a Sept. 27 when her laptop was stolen while she was in the copy room right next door.

“I stepped away for a couple of minutes and went to the room right next to my office to make copies,” Dawson said. “I didn’t lock my door because I figured I was only a few feet away, and it was a Saturday afternoon.”

Dawson said she didn’t notice her laptop was missing until the next Monday morning when she went to prepare for class.

After searching for it, she immediately called

ISU Police and reported the laptop stolen.

“We subpoenaed information technology services for information about usage records associated with that computer,” said ISU Police chief Jerry Stewart.

ISU Police received information Oct. 11 from technology services that it had tracked the laptop to Coover Hall by using the GPS coordinates connected to the laptop.

They tracked the laptop to the Coover 2245, the general use auditorium.

“If you’re familiar with old auditoriums, back in the day, when they had projector booths, this person was inside and apparently attempted to flee,” Stewart said.

Oung was using the laptop at the time, Stewart said.

“Why he chose to go into a locked room, we don’t know,” Stewart

“We really strived to create a design that would blend in with the environment because these are backyard chicken coops,” Jones said. “I feel satisfied and confident with our decisions” To test the coops, the projects have been subjected to outside elements as well as tested by one of Campbell’s own chickens.

Groups will be graded on the design appeal, craftsmanship and the group’s work relationships.

They will also be graded on how well their chicken coops will sell.

The chicken coops will be auctioned off starting at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 26, in the parking lot of Wheatsfield Cooperative grocery store in Ames.

As self-funded projects, the auction will, hopefully, reimburse the students for the materials with any extra profit going to the Iowa State chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students.

Members of the public can see the projects at the southeast side of the College of Design lawn until Friday, Oct. 25.

the range of what is possible,” Campbell said.

Five architecture professors came up with the idea and helped prepare the students for the project. They provided books, research material and guest speakers to offer more insight into what type of environment a chicken needs to survive.

Because of Iowa’s variety of weather, the groups had to come up with a design that would allow for air ventilation as well as protection from the environment. The coops also needed to offer a good quality of life for the chickens so they could lay eggs.

But given creative freedom, many students took their designs to the next level, changing the conception of what a typical chicken coop looks like.

“These aren’t just for function; they connect to a certain type of person,” Campbell said. “What people are going to put in their yard will be an expression of who they are.”

GSB Sen. Fitten withdraws petition on campaign limits

By Brian.Voss @iowastatedaily.com After submitting a petition arguing that the campaign spending limits established by the Government of the Student Body Election Code are unconstitutional, Khayree Fitten later withdrew the petition.

According to the petition, GSB spending limits are unconstitutional due to a 2010 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United v. FEC, 558 U.S, as well as Iowa Code Chapter 68A. The Citizens United ruling held campaign funds as a form of political speech, while Iowa Code chapter 68A states Iowa is not a state which imposes contribution limits.

Election Commissioner Adam Guenther expressed his disappointment with how the situation was being handled at the GSB Senate meeting on Oct. 9.

“No one has ever approached me about it. I don’t know anything about this. No one’s talked to me about it. I just feel like this is coming out of the blue. I feel like anyone on senate would have approached

me about this, talked to me so we could have got this done through.

GSB Supreme Court Chief Justice Caytlin Hentzel said the court was not given the information it needed to make a decision.

“How we interpreted his petition that he submitted was we weren’t sure, OK, so are you wanting us to just get rid of your hundred-dollar limit or are you wanting us to get rid of the spending in general?”

Hentzel said. “He did not submit additional information for us to get an answer to that question.

Hentzel said Fitten was asked to submit a brief with guidelines laid out from the court.

The day his brief was due he withdrew his petition. He did not give a reason for withdrawing his petition.

Guenther, Election Commissioner since April 2012, said some form of spending limits on both candidates for senate and for executive positions have existed since at least the 2009 election.

Fitten ran unopposed for the senate spot from the Inter-Fraternity Council last year. He re-

ceived 122 votes.

Guenther said any candidate running has to submit a financial disclosure form saying how much money they took in, where it came from, what it was spent on and also include receipts.

He said Fitten did not submit a financial disclosure form, but later said he was unsure if Fitten did or did not.

Guenther also said only a handful of people submitted disclosure forms.

“I believe only a handful of people turned in senate expenditures … a lot of people didn’t do it. So I think only maybe three people at most did it,” Guenther said.

Guenther stated that, to the best of his knowledge, there has never been a candidate to exceed the spending limit.

Hentzel said Fitten is welcome to resubmit his petition if he would like.

“He is free to file that again if he feels that his issue was not handled, possibly within GSB,” Hentzel said.

Fitten, sophomore in political science, declined to comment on the situation.

>>BACON p1 Duncan, senior in architecture, Brandt Shumacher, 2011 graduate, and Shelby Duncan, model and freshman in apparel, merchandising and design.

Shelby modeled a bacon skirt and blouse. Her outfit used four-and-a-half pounds of bacon.

Both outfits, combined, totaled out to a little more than one-third of a pig.

The next event was the bacon-eating contest. Ten men and 10 women took to the tables, supplied with bacon and multiple glasses of water.

Both the male and female divisions had two heats to narrow down eight competitors for the one-minute eat-off finale.

For women, each heat required them eating half a pound of bacon to go on to the eat-off. For men, each heat required threequarters of a pound of bacon to be consumed. The winner in the female division was Allison Mettler, a third-year veterinary medicine student. “[Eating bacon] was tasty, but definitely a challenge,” Mettler said. “I’d much rather [eat competitively] against my brothers.”

The winner in the male division was Mark Williams, resident of Marshalltown, Iowa, and a competitive eater.

By the end of the event, 1,076 of a total 1,200 ticket-holders attended. The total money collected, said Karl Kerns, senior in animal science and committee member, is not available yet, as part of the money went to the Scheman Building. Swanson said part of the profit would go to charity.

The Bacon Expo committee also doesn’t know the total amount it cost to put on the event, as they’re waiting for figures from ISU Dining and Scheman.

David Jiles, chairman of electrical and computer engineering, considers his next move against David Hauber, 8, as he played chess simultaneously against eight challengers.

Professor’s chess competition raises money for United Way

By Brian.Day @iowastatedaily.com David Jiles, distinguished professor in the electrical and computer engineering department, has been playing chess for the majority of his life; 53 years, to be exact. His father taught him how to play chess when he was only seven years old and he hasn’t looked back since.

This past Saturday, Jiles competed in a chess challenge to support the United Way of Story County.

This challenge consisted of eight simultaneous chess games where Jiles moved from one board to the next, playing one move at a time per board while the other participants waited and contemplated their next move.

On Saturday, Oct. 12, Jiles competed in seven chess matches blindfolded.

For every blindfolded match that he lost, Jiles donated $100 to the United Way of Story County. For every nonblindfolded game that he lost this past Saturday, he donated $20 to the same cause.

During the blindfolded competition, Jiles won four out of seven games, putting the unofficial donation total at $300 for United Way of Story County. But Jiles says that regardless of the outcome of the matches, he will still be putting money toward the cause anyway.

Along with the money that Jiles donated based on the outcome of the match, there was also a $10 entry fee for anyone who wanted to participate.

“If they can beat me, I’ll pay a certain amount of money to United Way of Story County,” Jiles said. “Of course, I’ll put some in anyway if they don’t beat me.”

The idea for this competition came about to help meet the College of Engineering’s fundraising goal of $25,000, according to Mary McGraw, cochair representative for the College of Engineering.

“We had originally asked all the departments to think about contributing in a unique way,” McGraw said. “Dr. Jiles and his assistant, Sara Harris, came up with this.”

Among the participants that Jiles played against, one of them was even his own son, Richard. Richard, a fresh-

“First of all, I thought I would be able to beat him,” Richard said. “And I’d be able to donate some money to charity, so that would be for a good cause.”

At the non-blindfolded competition this past Saturday, Jiles played a total of 12 games. In those 12 games, he won ten, lost one, and tied one.

Jiles says that he enjoys the game of chess because of the logic behind all the moves you must make.

Oung is in Story County jail on $10,000 bond.

With the days getting shorter and the night temperatures dropping, there is nothing more terrifying than finding yourself alone on campus late at night.

Unlit, dark areas on campus raises safety concerns You’re on campus in the middle of the night.

It’s dark and you’re all alone, with nearly 500 acres of campus surrounding you. The buildings you pass are shrouded in darkness and threaten to swallow you up; every sound sends shivers up your spine. You check constantly over your shoulder, wondering if you truly are alone on the sidewalk.

With the days getting shorter and the night temperatures dropping, there is nothing more terrifying that finding yourself alone on campus late at night.

This is a constant issue for students at any university, and Iowa State works especially hard to keep our university grounds as safe as possible. There are large areas of campus that are well lit, adding comfort with having some light while walking home late at night. There are also multiple emergency phones, 17 to be exact, scattered across Central Campus, around Jack Trice Stadium and at the College of Veterinary Medicine.

However, there are still several areas of campus that could use a little more light. We took a walk around campus late at night and found that there are some pretty dark areas around campus.

After a late-night club meeting or intramural game, even the bravest campus walkers will pick up their pace to make it home a little faster.

The green space south of Parks Library, near the Student Services Building, could certainly use some more light. The sidewalk between Coover Hall, Snedecor and Atanasoff halls is not only extremely dark, but we’d suggest another emergency telephone for that corner of campus. And finally, the sidewalk that runs behind the Knoll, next to the creek is one of the darkest places on campus and has no emergency phone even close to it.

Some students also park their vehicles at Jack Trice Stadium then make the trek through the commuter lot to their dorm. Though this walk is fairly well lit, there is a substantial amount of land to cover with no easily accessible emergency phone. Buses are available in this area, but their frequency depends on the time of night. Other than walking, the help van is really the most reliable option.

It could be said that students should just work to avoid walking in these areas. But each year new students may not be quite as aware of which paths to avoid, and a night out always has a way of inhibiting the judgment of even the most responsible students.

The university needs to consider adding more light posts and emergency telephones to these areas to make our lives a little easier — and a lot safer. The Government of the Student Body could also take the initiative to further this proposal, ensuring that our campus is well-lit and nonthreatening to its students.

Our university needs to continue being vigilant in its efforts to make students feel safe in their environment at all times of the day and night. But at the same time, students must do the same.

Know which direction you plan to take on the way home if you know you are going to be out late. Try to walk with a friend as often as possible, and if you are walking alone, make sure you have someone who is aware you are walking home and is waiting for your call when you get to your destination safely.

Just remember, campus safety is a shared responsibility. But adding a little light wouldn’t hurt either.

s the warm summer weather slowly hides itself behind the clouds and the tease of fall grips us in its chill, college students all across America seek refuge in their cozy, sheltered beds.

Unmotivated and uninspired, college kids in the colder months can barely work up enough energy to go outside, let alone wake up inspired and ready to begin the day. How are we to maintain the same level of drive and creativity that most of us feel at the beginning of the school year all the way to the end?

The first step is to try. If you’re OK with sluggishly rolling about campus and completing (or not completing) your homework with only half the effort you probably should have put into it, then disregard the entirety of this post. For the rest of you, read on.

Good, you’ve made it this far. See? You’ve already got a head start on getting back into that beginningof-the-year groove. You’re motivated. Now here’s why you need to stay that way.

College is the place you go to learn about your work before you actually go to work.

So it makes sense that you would want to take advantage of the time that you’re here to learn as much as you possibly can about your field so that when real-life obligations come, you don’t fall flat on your face.

Getting good grades is one way to gauge how much you’re learning. If your grades are up, then you can assume you have at least a decent grasp of the information. But don’t rely solely on your grades.

There’s a big difference between understanding and retaining information and just being a good test-taker.

Not only is it important to remember to do your homework, but it’s also important to leave time for other activities.

Overworking yourself into a tired mess will do as much damage as skipping classes. It’s hard to feel motivated when you haven’t had the chance to relax and recharge in a few weeks.

If you’re starting to find yourself spending less time functioning as an actual human being and spending more time lying in bed watching Netflix all day, here are a few tips for shedding that winter

Iowa State Daily

Students climb aboard CyRide so they don’t have to walk to their classes in the snowstorm.

Dreary winter weather can cause students to feel sluggish, unmotivated and uninspired.

slump.

1) Don’t give up on working out. I understand how difficult it can be.

Most of us already work out daily (or at least on some sort of regular basis), and yet the chill of the colder months can be seriously demotivating.

Set yourself an alarm every day and force yourself to get dressed. Once you’re in your workout clothes, it’s harder to make an excuse not to go. Shedding a little winter weight can make you feel healthier and happier, and less like a hibernating bear.

2) Try not to gorge yourself on food. To go along with number one, eating too much and not working out can start a vicious habit of gaining weight and losing motivation. For a lot of us, feeling too full makes us tired and lethargic, which aren’t

the best feelings to have when there are projects to be done. Save the postThanksgiving coma for after Thanksgiving.

3) Take pictures.

Almost everyone’s phone has a built-in camera these days, and most college students walk to class with their faces directed at their phones anyway. Stop and look around. Take some photos of appealing things around campus. Whether you’re a good photographer or not, feeling inspired can spark creativity, and creativity means the urge to get things done.

4) Get a job. Though this might seem counterintuitive to studying, the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics found that students who work get better grades than students who don’t. As long as you don’t work too much, having a job can actually help

motivate you to schedule your time more effectively and therefore study more effectively. Too much free time can lead to slacking off, so get a job to fill those hours.

5) Socialize. It can be easy to lose interest in going out or hanging out with friends when there’s snow on the ground, but making time for friends is a necessary way to relax and let the burdens of school go for a while. You can hit the books once you’ve recharged a little.

The point of all this is to find the right balance.

Make time to study and make time to socialize. If you were doing well at the beginning of the semester, consider what you were doing that helped make you so successful. Then keep doing it.

Don’t let a little cold get to you.

False ‘bomb scares’ spiral out of control Too many fake threats cause unnecessary panic at schools nationwide

By Emily.Krueger @iowastatedaily.com

L

ast Wednesday morning, a suspicious object was reported to the ISU police. The events that followed included roping off the entrance to the campus library and the front of the Hub, the arrival of the Ames fire marshals and a bomb squad car. Later on, the item suspected to be an explosive was considered harmless.

Nevertheless, I was intrigued.

I could feel my “inner journalist” instinct tingling. Honestly, if I didn’t have a couple test reviews and an exam to study for, I would have made my way over to the site to investigate. Instead, I tracked the story on my iPhone throughout the day.

The small talk around campus was unbelievable. The whispering during class periods, the crazy Facebook posts, and the steady stream of updates on the Iowa State Daily website — even the chatter on

the buses got me to pondering what I considered an intense circumstance at the given moment.

Most people were not concerned.

I overheard about 50 or so stories about bomb pranks during students’ high school senior year.

A few kids shrugged it off as no big deal. One student bragged that his school had had four bomb threats within the last few months of his senior year. None of the bomb threat stories I heard actually involved a dangerous explosive — just a bunch of kids thinking they could get out of class early.

Statistically, very few bomb threats are genuine within school districts. While an advantage for students might be that they get out of class for a day or two, I think that this leisure time is irrelevant.

Surprisingly, the government does not keep track of all the bomb threats or scares statistics. This could be due to schools such as one in a Maryland school district which reported 150 bomb threats and 55 arrests in a single year!

Obviously, the problem is more concerning than a single fake bomb scare.

I think students fail to realize

the complexity of calling in a prank bomb threat. It might be fun to a few individuals involved in a senior prank, but what about everyone else?

Police and fire marshals are taken from other important tasks to guard the perimeter around what could be a potentially dangerous situation.

Students miss out on classes and valuable education, while elementary teachers try their best to calm scared and crying little ones.

Clearly, the bomb scare epidemic is spiraling out of control. Even if proven to be false, bomb scares carry a real threat directed at schools and students. It’s not just a prank or something to be laughed at; it could even be considered as small-time terrorism, whether or not it’s a sham.

In the midst of our current flurry of political happenings, the shutdown and reopening of our federal government, this column may fall on deaf ears. I mean, why worry about fake bomb threats when there is so much more going on in our country right now? Maybe it’s why I wrote on the topic. I think change begins with a few people willing to listen and make a stand.

And when it comes to the rampant bomb scares in America, something needs to change.

GOOD AS GOLD

Goldstein helps Cyclones take 4th place in Big 12

By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com

The clock ticked down to less than 30 seconds in the first overtime period.

The ISU soccer team weathered a 99-minute Baylor attack that included 21 shots and 12 corner kicks. It was shaping up for the Cyclones to withstand another overtime period and the Bears’ offense.

With only 27 seconds remaining, Koree Willer stood with nine other Cyclones on their own half of the field, all were too far away and there wasn’t enough time to set up a full offensive attack. So Willer played the ball to the only player in position to score: Emily Goldstein.

The ball soared past two defenders, followed by Goldstein. She slowed the ball down, squared up and launched a shot from 15 yards out.

“The goalie thought I was either going to pass it or shoot it to the back post,” Goldstein said. “I shot it to the front post instead, and it went in.”

The golden goal gave Iowa State (87-2, 2-3-1 Big 12) the win and players and coaches rushed the field in celebration.

The crowd of 800-plus that braved sub-40 degree temperatures now had something to cheer about after almost 100 minutes of scoreless soccer.

Making the moment even sweeter in the Big 12 was a development happening in Fort Worth, Texas. TCU, favored to win

Brian Achenbach/Iowa State Daily

ISU women’s soccer team celebrates after No. 10 senior midfielder Emily Goldstein broke the tie and scored the game-winning goal during Iowa State’s 1-0 win against Baylor on Friday. This is the first goal Iowa State has scored against Baylor since the Cyclone’s victory in 2010.

This game is a game I will never forget. It was definitely all my team’s work. ... I’m just happy I was able to be on the end of it and put it away for us.”

Emily Goldstein

against last-place Oklahoma, was upset 1-0. The TCU loss resulted in its drop in the Big 12 standings, which in turn pushed Iowa State up to fourth place.

The change in ranking was due, in large part, to Goldstein. Her four goals in the last two games resulted in back-to-back Big 12 wins, something that hadn’t been accomplished since 2010.

After her hat trick last week and an overtime game-winner this weekend, Goldstein now leads the team in goals with six and is tied with Jennifer Dominguez in points with 15.

Cross-country outruns top-10 teams at invite

By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com The No. 28 ISU women’s cross-country team is back in the groove of competition after a two-week hiatus.

The Cyclones took fifth place Saturday, at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational. It was Iowa State’s second top-five finish in two weeks.

Crystal Nelson led the team, finishing 10th overall with a time of 20:02.

This race marks her second-consecutive top10 finish this season.

“I’m really excited about it. I definitely wasn’t expecting to get top-10 today,” Nelson said. “My only goal was to improve form last year. I kind of knew the course this time and knew where to make the moves I needed to make. It was great experience for me.”

Nelson, who finished third at the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept. 28, wasn’t feeling good before the race.

Despite feeling sick, ISU coach Andrea GroveMcDonough saw great composure from Nelson on the course.

“That’s the really exciting thing about Crystal.

Even if she has a bad day,

it’s still good,” GroveMcDonough said. “I’m really impressed with her.

She has great composure and is really doing good with handling her nerves.

She really handled herself well today.”

The field at the Adidas Invitational was one of the strongest Iowa State has seen yet, with were 26 teams that were nationally ranked or had received votes in the national poll.

Iowa State’s fifth-place finish was good enough to beat three top-10 nationally ranked teams.

“I know that coaches say this all the time, but I really knew that we were better than people thought we were,” GroveMcDonough said. “The girls just focused in on the race plan, and they raced with a lot of confidence.

We got a lot of great wins today.”

Perez Rotich was the second ISU runner to finish Saturday. She came in 28th place overall, with a time of 20:22.

Freshman Bethanie Brown finished 32nd, and senior Katy Moen came in 53rd place.

But what the team felt was the biggest impact on the day was senior runner Ejiro Okoro’s finish.

“Our fifth, sixth and seventh runners got into a hole early. I really got after them and made sure they knew that they had a lot of work to do,” GroveMcDonough said. “When Ejiro came around, I told her I needed her to kick it in. And I’m not kidding, she probably passed 30 bodies. We only beat New Mexico and Dartmouth by about 10 points, so Ejiro’s finish was so important.”

The team will head to the Big 12 Championship meet in two weeks to try to bring home another conference title.

With another gap of time ahead before their next meet, the Cyclones are focusing on the positives of the Adidas Invitational and the experience they felt was gained Saturday.

“I think we got a lot of experience [Saturday].

Learning to work in a huge crowd is very different and a lot more fun,” Brown said. “But I really think we were just in it as a team. We were focused on getting points for Iowa State, not just as individuals.

“We had each other’s back out there, and that will help us in the future.”

“Unreal,” Goldstein said of the last two weeks. “This game is a game I will never forget. It was definitely all my team’s work. ...

I’m just happy I was able to be on the end of it and put it away for us.”

ISU coach Wendy Dillinger applauded Willer and Goldstein’s performances as the two hooked up for an assist-goal combination for the third time in two games. Willer now leads the team in assists with six.

However, the progress made this season has not relied solely on the offensive playmakers. Dillinger insists the better play is a result of work behind closed doors.

“One of the things that is contributing to our success is all the work that’s going into training from the kids on the bench that don’t play,” Dillinger said. “They are working their butts off and pushing the starting group and they are constantly under pressure from our bench. We haven’t really had that before.”

The maturing of the defense has also been evident throughout the season. In the last four Big 12 games, Iowa State has allowed only three goals. Senior goalkeeper

Maddie Jobe has been a key part of keeping points off the board.

Against Baylor, Jobe recorded eight saves to bring her career total to 310, second all-time in school history. Her sixth shutout of the season put her career total at 20 shutouts, distancing herself from others as she holds the school record.

As the freshmen and senior defenders have meshed late in the season, the team has seen improvements. A downfall of the ISU defense early in the season, goals off corner and free kicks, was challenged against Baylor where the Cyclones kept the Bears to zero goals off 12 corners.

As Iowa State prepares for TCU (5-8-3, 1-4-1 Big 12) and Oklahoma State (5-3-6, 1-1-3 Big 12) to round out the season, seniors like Jobe are looking forward to the opportunity of playing in the Big 12 tournament for the first time.

“For the past three years, it’s been so difficult coming out on the other end of games,” Jobe said. “It feels great now. It’s fun, it’s exciting, and we are really excited about the next two games.”

Baylor offense surges past ISU Cyclones avoid total shutout with last-minute touchdown

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com Baylor football proved why its regarded as one of the top offenses in the nation, beating Iowa State 71-7.

The Cyclones were outgained 714 to 173 offensively as the ISU defense gave up 650 yards or more for the secondstraight game.

The only score from Iowa State came with less than a minute left in the entire ball game, as Grant Rohach found DeVondrick Nealy with 47 seconds left in the game for a 27-yard pass up the middle.

ISU quarterback Sam Richardson didn’t finish the game, leaving in the second quarter and

giving Grant Rohach his first snaps of the season.

Richardson started the second half but was pulled again for Rohach once the game was out of reach.

Richardson finished the game with seven completions on 14 attempts for 68 yards. Rohach was completing eight of 16 passes for 65 yards with the lone score and an interception.

Iowa State couldn’t run the ball either, amassing 32 carries for 40 totals yards. Aaron Wimberly led Iowa State on the ground with five carries for only 21 yards.

Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty led a blitzkrieg on the offensive end for the Bears, throwing for 343 yards, two touchdowns and ran one more in for a score. Petty was relieved in the fourth quarter for backup quarterbacks Levi Norwood and Seth Russell.

While Petty excelled on throws, the pair of Baylor running backs in Lache Seastrunk and

Glasco Martin combined for 193 on 39 carries and a pair of scores from Seastrunk.

Iowa State struggled in an area the team previously had excelled in through the first five games of the season: turnovers. The Bears forced the Cyclones to turn the ball over three times, while themselves allowing zero turnovers.

Before this game, the Cyclones’ 1.2 turnover margin was second in the Big 12 and No. 12 in the nation.

Baylor jumped ahead early in the first quarter and never looked back.

After scoring on the first possession, an Aaron Wimberly fumble gave the Bears a short, 29-yard field to score again and they led 14-0 with 8:28 left in the first quarter.

Iowa State’s next game comes against Oklahoma State on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium for Cyclone Family Weekend. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m.
