SWIFT begins kayak series with support from Duke Rentals

Ag/Outdoor, Sports

May 12th, 2022 by admin

SWIFT with the support from Atlantic based Duke Rentals made history this past Saturday when over 30 student anglers took to the waters on Littlefield Lake in Exira for their first competitive Bass junior and high school tournament. SWIFT will be the first kayak team in the state of Iowa and one of the largest in the country.

In just two short years the fishing team has experienced huge growth from 9 students anglers to now over 75 from across Southwest Iowa. With the growth it has presented challenges to find enough adult boat captains to allow the students to fish off boats during tournaments. This challenged the SWIFT organizers to find a way to allow more students to experience bass fishing from on the water. Kayak fishing is one of the hottest segments in the sport and it provided all the options for the more student’s angers to be involved. It was an individual sport; tournaments could be held on smaller bodies of waters, and it was more affordable to purchase than a bass boat. Plus, more and more online and in person kayak tournaments were being organized drawing more participation.

Ken Tolton, president of Duke Rentals and avid angler in his own right heard about the success of SWIFT and listened to the idea of starting a student kayak series. With his generosity and Cappel’s Ace Hardware negotiating a deal for Lifetime kayaks the first junior and high school team was formed in the state of Iowa. Student anglers have three options to be a part of the Duke Rentals Kayak series, they can use their own kayak, the kayak they purchased from SWIFT or use one of the SWIFT loaner kayaks.

At all Duke Rentals kayak tournaments anglers will use the Fishing Chaos app to score the tournament based on the longest five-bass limit. This app allows angles to photograph their fish on an approved measuring board, release the fish and then upload the photo for scoring.

30 anglers competed at Littlefield and reeled in 73 fish totaling 731.75 inches. Powerade High School division was won by Owen Hoover, 2nd place was Jake Oathoudt, 3rd place Colton Rudy, 4th Vicente Butcher and 5th Joaquin Wailes. Fairlife Junior division was won by Colin Rudy, second Gavin Dougherty, third Grady Roberts, fourth Bently Hughes and 5th was Garret Stetzel. The Duke Bank tournament was won by Jarrett Hansen, Jake Wailes was second, 3rd was Tegan Steinkuehler, 4th Brendan Wilke and 5th Kayden Dreyer. Big Fish Winner was Colin Rudy.

The SWIFT Duke Rentals Kayak Series will host four tournaments and cap off the series with the State Championships on July 17th at Prairie Rose Lake. May 7th was at Littlefield Lake, May 21st at Morman Trail Lake, near Bridgewater, June 12th Greenfield Lake.

Iowa baseball players honored by Big Ten

Sports

May 12th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

Two Iowa baseball players have been honored by the Big Ten for their play last week. Sophomore righthander Ty Langenberg was named the Co-Pitcher of the Week. Langenberg gave up five hits in a season long seven innings in Sunday’s win over Purdue as he improved to 5-1 on the season.

That”s Iowa coach Rick Heller. Langenberg is part of an Iowa pitching staff that tops the Big Ten with a 3.22 earned run average.

Outfielder Keaton Anthony has been named the Co-Freshman of the Week. Anthony batted .400 in four games, homered twice and drove in seven runs. After missing most of last season with an injury Heller says he has developed pull side power.

Iowa is 12-6 in the Big Ten and opens a three game series at Michigan State Friday night.
