Former CAM standout Molly Venteicher has been honored as the NJCAA Track and Field Women’s Athlete of the Week and ICCAC Women’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week. Venteicher earned the honor by shattering personal records in both the Weight Throw and Shot-Put this week at the Dutch Athletic Classic in Pella.

Venteicher threw a nationals-qualifying toss of 15.53 meters in the weight throw, a new school-record. In the shot-put Venteicher had a throw of 12.58 meters, which is currently sixth in the NJCAA this season.

Venteicher took a 2nd place finish in both events at the meet, competing against a field of all four-year college athletes.

The Atlantic boys swimming team swam well but fell to two tough and big teams at their home meet on Tuesday night at the Nishna Valley Family YMCA.

Iowa is 6-1 in the Big Ten and 14-4 overall.

Both teams are 5-3 in Missouri Valley play and the Bulldogs let a late lead slip away in a 52-49 loss in Springfield in the first meeting. Drake coach coach Darian DeVries.

The top eight teams in the Valley are either 6-2 or 5-3 and DeVries says the key to success will be winning close games.

Drake is 14-5 overall.

The Northern Iowa men are at home Wednesday night in Missouri Valley play to take on Illinois State. The Panthers won the first meeting at Illinois State on New Year’s Eve. The Panthers are 5-3 in the Valley and the Redbirds are 3-5.

That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson who says both teams have made strides this month.

Iowa State took control in the second half as the 12th ranked Cyclones beat number seven Texas 78-67. The Cyclones survived a slow start to move to 5-1 in the Big 12.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. Jaren Holmes led four Cyclones in double figures with 21 points.
