AMES, Iowa – Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard is the latest Cyclone to make a long-term commitment to the institution. He has agreed to a five-year contract extension according to ISU President Steven Leath.
“In my brief tenure at Iowa State, I have found Jamie to be an extremely competent and visionary leader,” Dr. Leath said. “The program’s record of academic and athletic achievement in concert with a sound business plan is impressive.”
Pollard had two years remaining on his current contact so the extension will run through 2019.
Iowa State has registered its all-time best athletics’ graduation rate and national all-sports ranking during Pollard’s tenure. The program has also set attendance records in every major sport, invested nearly $100 million in new and renovated facilities and eliminated its dependence upon state funding since Pollard came to Iowa State in 2005.
“We have more work to do,” Pollard said, “so I am extremely grateful to President Leath for the confidence he has shown in our administrative team. Our program is primed for success and I’m anxious to continue building alongside, what we feel, is the best coaching staff in ISU history.”
Final terms of the contract will be announced at a later date.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A new report shows little progress in the effort to increase the percentage of Iowa high school students who are ready for college-level courses. Iowa City testing company ACT Inc. says only 30 percent of the 23,000 test-takers scored well enough to be considered ready for college-level courses in English, reading, math and science. The figure has remained stable over the past five years, despite Iowa’s better-than-average ACT scores.
State education leaders have cited the report as evidence that change is needed to prepare more Iowa students for success beyond high school. The results were compiled from 28 states where at least half of the Class of 2012 took the test. Iowa and Wisconsin tied with the second-highest overall composite scores. Minnesota ranked first.
In an update to an earlier story, the Atlantic Police Department says a Council Bluffs woman was transported to the Cass County Memorial Hospital Tuesday night, following an accident at the intersection of 7th and Hazel Streets. Officials say vehicles driven by Megan Hall, of Council Bluffs, and Leah Jenkins, of Atlantic, were both westbound on 7th Street just before midnight, when Jenkins saw a dark object out of the corner of her eye and hit the brakes.
When Hall couldn’t stop in time, her vehicle struck the back of Jenkins’ vehicle, causing a total of about $2,700 damage. Hall complained of pain and was taken to the hospital by Medivac Ambulance, to be checked out.
Hall was cited by police for following too close, and failure to provide proof of insurance.
