Iowa basketball assistant Courtney Eldridge talks about his promotion

Sports

May 18th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Iowa assistant basketball coach Courtney Eldridge feels the experience he gained with the Hawkeye program prepared him to become a full-time assistant. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery elevated Eldridge to replace Billy Taylor, who was named the new head coach at Elon. Eldridge spent the past thee years as director of recruiting and player development and prior to that was the video coordinator.

Eldridge says the pandemic actually helped him gain more experience.

Eldridge is heavily involved in recruiting and calls the transfer portal a form of speed dating.

Eldridge says the Hawkeyes will still add a player if they fill a need.

Atlantic’s Gannon O’Hara signs to run track at Hawkeye Community College

Sports

May 17th, 2022 by admin

 

Atlantic senior Gannon O’Hara signed on Tuesday to continue his track career at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo. O’Hara signed surrounded by family and a number of coaches that have helped guide him along the way. A number of other Atlantic athletes are currently at Hawkeye CC and O’Hara said that was part of what drew him there.

O’Hara will be competing at the State Track Meet later this week as part of Atlantic’s 4x400M Relay team. He said one of his favorite memories was starting his career with a chance to run at State.

O’Hara was a member of the Sprint Medley team for the Trojans in 2019 and was on the Distance Medley team that competed at State last season as well. He said he knew from the beginning of high school that he wanted to try to continue his track career at the next level and one of his coaches Matt Mullenix joked that they had to convince him to join the track team to begin with because he also played soccer at the time. He talked about the study pathway he will follow at Hawkeye as well.

O’Hara will run in the 4x400M relay at State on Friday at around 7:45 p.m.
