IOWA CITY, Iowa – Eight University of Iowa track and field student-athletes were named Academic All-District honorees by the College Sports Communicators, the association announced on Tuesday.

On the women’s side, seniors Mariel Bruxvoort, Ali Dorn and Jamie Kofron received the honor. Sophomore Lia Love earned the distinction for the first time.

Seniors Grant Conway, Gratt Reed and Austin West, along with sophomore Ryan Schreiner, represented the Hawkeyes from the men’s side.

To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically. Additionally, a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA is required. For track and field, eligible nominees are based off TFRRS performance list rankings and must have placed in the top 50 as an individual of their respective event.

BENIN CITY, Nigeria – Freshman Precious Irivi claimed the silver medal in the triple jump at the Senior Championships in Nigeria on Tuesday. Irivi registered a 15.35-meter mark in the event.

As a U20 competitor, Irivi was crowned the U20 national champion and qualified for the World Junior Championships in Lima, Peru, at the end of August. The freshman jumper currently holds Iowa’s seventh-best triple jump mark (15.57 meters).

Irivi will join freshman distance runner Luke Knepp, who punched his ticket to the World Junior Championships earlier this month in the 3,000-meter steeplechase.

Summer workouts are underway for the Iowa football team. The Hawkeyes return a lot of experience from last year’s team that finished 10-4 and they will be in search of a third 10-win season in the last four years. Senior guard Connor Colby says much of the focus in the summer is on strength and conditioning.

A big focus of the off-season has been new offensive coordinator Tim Lester’s bid to turn an anemic Hawkeye offense around. Colby says the changes for the offensive line have been minimal.

Junior receiver Kaleb Brown emerged in the second half of last season after transferring from Ohio State. He says for the receivers the changes have been significant.

Running back Leshon Williams finished with 821 yards of rushing last season and is confident the offense will show improvement.

Williams says the running backs will be much more involved in the pass game.

Defensive end Deontae Craig is part of an outstanding defense that returns eight starters. He says the workouts have been spirited since the players returned to campus.

Craig says after spending a few weeks at home in May he was ready to return to campus.

Iowa’s defense has the makings of another outstanding unit but defensive tackle Yahya Black says it is a new season and a new challenge.
