The world’s top ranked female pole vaulter will compete in a West Des Moines mall next month as part of the Drake Relays. Jenn Suhr was the 2008 Olympic silver medalist and will be part of the women’s field in the Pole Vault at the Mall in the Jordan Creek Towncenter. Drake Relays director Brian Brown says the presence of a top ranked competitor will add even more excitement to the competition. The Drake Relays are April 26th through the 28th.

Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz has made additional changes to his coaching staff. Recruiting coordinator Eric Johnson will move from tight ends coach and assist with the defensive line and graduate assistant David Raih will coach the tight ends. Ferentz says the change will allow Johnson to focus more of his attention on recruiting. He says the demands of that segment of the organization are so strong that his goal was to get Johnson in a position where he could dedicate more time to that area. Ferentz says Johnson is doing  a lot of work for the Hawkeyes, with regard to personnel, and it’s a “critical job, and always has been”, especially in the way recruiting is constantly undergoing changes.  Ferentz says by assisting with the defensive line Johnson will be more free to travel during the season. It is the latest of several changes on the Iowa staff which includes new offensive and defensive coordinators.

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State junior forward Chelsea Poppens has been recognized as an honorable mention All-American by The Associated Press.

Poppens, an Aplington, Iowa native, was the only Big 12 player to average a double-double this season. She averaged a career-best 14.2 points and 10.6 rebounds en route to being named one of three unanimous selections to the All-Big 12 first team. Poppens’ 317 rebounds make her just the second Cyclone to grab over 300 in a season. Former Cyclone All-American Angie Welle accomplished the feat in 2001 and 2002.

Poppens led the Big 12 in offensive rebounds, grabbing 4.4 per game, and shot 49.8 percent from the field. She improved from the free-throw line as a junior, shooting 71.3 percent from the charity stripe after entering the season as a 64.1 percent shooter.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — It’s been over a year since Iowa State’s starting quarterback job came open. The Cyclones still can’t figure who their top guy will be. Iowa State spent the first week of spring practice embroiled in yet another quarterback competition. This time, the Cyclones are hoping either Steele Jantz or Jared Barnett grab hold of the team’s most important position. Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads didn’t offering any hints about the state of the competition on Tuesday, except to praise Jantz and Barnett for their work habits so far this offseason.
