    Assuming that you are thinking of Lisa Koll as the 10k runner. She was a 2012 olympian

    ISU Track & Field studs

    ISU's best chances for winning next week are probably 1) Robin Bera or Sanele Masondo in the mens 10k. Habtom Samuel from New Mexico is the favorite 2) Joash Ruto in the steeplechase. I believe he finished 3rd last year but the field is crazy good this season. 3) Rachel in the 400m 4) The...

    What will the Jimmy Era Walk Out Song Be?

    Nothing is changing from last year. The coordination of the walk out has been a disaster over the past few years. The adjustment made was to have less going on and a basic, recognizable song. At this time, nobody sees anything changing from last year.

    Rachel has run the 30 fastest times in the 400m event in ISU history. I am anxious to see if she can finally break 50 seconds at NCAA. The key is to make it to the final, which won't be easy. I have her slotted to finish somewhere between 4th- 6th next week. Rachel has a classmate that runs the...

    High School Sports Thread

    Just three years ago- a local AD proposed the very conference that you have listed as the CIML small. Indianola was strongly opposed to anything related to Dowling or Waukee. They are very happy as LHC members. Now, administrations change and so do values in communities so I suppose anything is...

    Every decision like this is run through the President as well. In fact, he is far more involved than Wendy was. He is supportive of Jamie's position on this

    Send the "Presidents" to Chicago

    Love what they do as loyal fans, but I am not donating to them. Get a job, ask your family for help. Not everyone gets to do what they always want

    ***NCAA Wrestling - Session 2 (Thursday, 6pm CT)***

    If we could get those guys- we would. We have a few coming in but it is really hard to get the dudes that everyone wants

    ***NCAA Wrestling - Session 2 (Thursday, 6pm CT)***

    Lots of reasons will go into it but there is no way to avoid stating that our transfers did not help us much in terms of getting on the podium

    ***NCAA Wrestling - Session 1 (Thursday, 11am CT)***

    The people who hate the NCAA this weekend claim it does not "grow the sport". The catch is, very few of those casuals even care about the sport and will never follow it in spite of what they claim. It is more about convenience for them. These people offer nothing to "growing the sport." I...

    Iowa State cancels remaining gymnastics season

    It's not. The department has been ineffective at managing the program since KJ left and continues to make poor decisions regarding the sport. The last coach should never have been hired and was not qualified for this level of job. She got out of her element, she managed her roster badly, and her...

    Iowa State cancels remaining gymnastics season

    No- I have seen nothing that tells me that we could hire a coach, build a facility, and recruit and be good at wrestling for women

    Be good at gymnastics is the best solution. Not wrestling

    Iowa State cancels remaining gymnastics season

    Unless she was extended, the contract expires this summer. She could leave Ames tomorrow and move somewhere warm. Pretty sure she is done here.

    Iowa State cancels remaining gymnastics season

    ISU does not have the finances or facilities to go up against schools starting up wrestling for women and be any good at it. It takes an above-and-beyond effort from Dresser to get our wrestling program competitive. We can offer wrestling for women, but we are not going to be good at it.
