AMES, Iowa – Iowa State volleyball had a pair of players honored in the conference’s postseason awards program, announced on Thursday. Junior right side Eleanor Holthaus was named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while senior middle blocker Candelaria Herrera was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team.
Holthaus was named to the All-Big 12 First Team for a second-straight season, becoming the 10th Cyclone to be named to the First Team twice in their careers. Herrera earned her second All-Big 12 honor as a Cyclone after being a First Team honoree in 2019, and is the 14th Cyclone to make at least two All-Big 12 Teams (First Team, Second Team or Honorable Mention) during her career.
Holthaus was the Cyclones’ outstanding performer throughout the season, leading the ISU attack with 251 kills at 3.22 per set, which she got at .261 hitting. She was in double figures 15 times, including matching her career-high off 22 twice at TCU on Nov. 21 and vs. Wayne State on March 26. She hit over .300 in a match nine times during the season. In the back row, she recorded 157 digs at 2.01 per set. Holthaus notched eight double-doubles on the season.
Despite missing the spring potion of the season while back in Argentina training with the National Team, Herrera put up big numbers in her 14 matches with the Cyclones. She was fourth on the team with her 2.36 kills per set, which she got at a team-best .271 hitting percentage. Herrera had six matches in double figures, including a career-best 20 kills vs. Kansas on Nov. 13. The Argentine was also ISU’s leader at the net, finishing with 1.11 blocks per set on the season, a figure that was good for sixth in the conference on the season.
Herrera spent the spring in Argentina training with the Argentina Women’s Volleyball National Team in an effort to make the team for the 2020 Olympic Games this summer in Tokyo, Japan. Herrera will take advantage of the waiver year offered by the NCAA and will return to the Cyclones in Fall 2021.
(Radio Iowa) – One of Iowa’s Republican representatives in Washington is reacting negatively to President Biden’s call on Thursday to seek out ways to curb gun violence through legislation. Fourth District Congressman Randy Feenstra of Hull says he’ll oppose the president’s call for “red flag” laws and any new federal rules to restrict gun purchases and ownership. “We have to be very careful what we’re doing here,” Feenstra says. “Our founding fathers enshrined the Second Amendment in our Constitution. I stand up for our Constitution. Our Constitution says that we have a right to bear arms and the Biden administration is trampling on our Second Amendment rights here.”
The president wants to ban assault weapons, crack down on “ghost guns” that are self-assembled, and eliminate the exemption on lawsuits against gun manufacturers. Feenstra says they’re all troublesome. “I’m really concerned and there’s going to be a lot of discussion starting next week, Monday, on this issue,” Feenstra says. “It seems like what Biden wants to do is blatantly step on our Constitutional rights, on the right to carry, and to have law-abiding citizens have guns.”
Feenstra has spent the last two weeks of Easter Recess traveling in the district, meeting with residents and touring industries. He will return to Washington on Monday.
