Iowa State linebacker Zach Lovett says the transition this spring has been a quick one. After appearing in 13 games the past two seasons at Missouri the Melbourne, Florida native transferred to ISU. He had been recruited by the Cyclones while in high school.

Lovett says many of the same coaches involved in his recruiting are stll at Iowa State.

Lovett says he started doing research immediately after entering the transfer portal.

The Cyclones close out spring drills on Saturday.

(Griswold, Iowa) – Members of the Griswold School District’s Board of Education, Monday evening (April 17), voted in favor of changing their Girls 2023-24 Wrestling Program sharing partners. Superintendent Dave Henrichs….

Griswold’s change means two programs have left the Southwest Area Team (S.W.A.T.) cooperative that was in place last season. Southwest Valley had previously announced that they plan to run their own program starting next season. Atlantic, CAM, and Nodaway Valley are the schools currently remaining in S.W.A.T.

The Iowa Hawkeye baseball team returns to non-conference action tonight (Tuesday night), with a visit to Illinois-Chicago. The Hawkeyes are 25-9 overall after taking two of three games at Minnesota, including an 18-4 series clinching win on Saturday.

That’s Iowa coach Rick Heller. The Hawkeyes will host Bradley on Wednesday night and Heller feels the bullpen is rested enough to handle two mid-week games.

Heller says having Sunday off gave the bullpen added rest.

Two-time Olympic shot put champion Ryan Crouser returns to Des Moines next week. Crouser will be part of a first of its kind team indoor event before taking part in the outdoor competition in Drake Stadium on April 29.

Crouser says there are only a few big meets in the United States each year.

Crouser will try and best his indoor World Record next week. He topped it back in February at a meet in Idaho but World Athletics announced last week it would not ratify it as a record because the shot put ring was too large and the landing area was too downhill from the ring.

The Drake Relays are April 25th through the 29th.
