The Iowa State student section at Jack Trice Stadium is being moved. Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard sent an email to students on Thursday about the change beginning with the 2022 season.

The sections will move from X-ZZ and 37-41 to sections O-T and 23-27 in the southeast corner of the stadium. The visiting team fan section will move to section 41.

In the email Pollard stated that safety has become a concern during field rush situations that have occurred after big wins. The students entering the field conflict with the path of the opposing team leaving the field. The hope is that the move will eliminate that potential issue. The number of seats for students will slightly increase with the move as well.

Atlantic Head Coach Ed Den Beste: “Once again a cold and windy day for golf at Fox Run. Going into this meet, we knew we could play better and had a good shot of winning it. Lane continued his good play.  Garrett also played pretty well. Need to see him get into the 70s though.  Cruz has really picked up his game.  Good to see him in the mid 80s.  Roth had a tough start but came back and finished ok.  Cooper shot his best this year which is good to see. Tristan had a lot of struggles today. Hopefully he can fix a few things and get it back to where he can compete for top 4. We will head to Denison next week on Tuesday for a JV/Varsity match.”

IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa sophomore forward Kris Murray announced on Friday that he has submitted papers for early entry to the 2022 NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility.

Underclassmen have until June 1 to remain in or remove his name from the draft.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to play the game I love every day and to wear the Black and Gold,” said Murray. “My focus is being able to grow as a player in every way possible. The opportunity to get feedback and experience working out for NBA teams will help me become the best player I can possibly be and take my game to the next level. I have big plans for next year and this experience will help me do that. I appreciate everyone’s support.”

Murray (6-foot-8, 211 pounds) posted single season bests in every statistical category last season. He improved his scoring average by +9.1 points per game and rebounding average by 3.7 per outing. Murray was Iowa’s leading scorer (9.7 ppg) and rebounder (4.3 rpg) off the bench, which ranked fourth and third overall, respectively. His 31 blocks and 43 3-point field goals rank seventh and eighth most, respectively, by a Hawkeye sophomore. He ranked second on the squad in 3-point accuracy (.387, 43-of-11), blocked shots per game (0.9) and field goals made (124), third in offensive (1.6) and defensive (2.7) rebounds, and fourth in steals (0.8). He made at least one 3-pointer in a team-best 17 consecutive games (Jan. 22-March 13) and recorded multiple steals in 10 games and multiple blocks in nine contests.

“We fully support Kris using this opportunity to receive the feedback from NBA personnel through workouts and interviews,” said head coach Fran McCaffery. “Kris took great strides and really came into his own last season. He is going through this process with a professional approach, and we are excited to see his game grow to another level.”

Kris’ brother Keegan announced last month that he has declared for the 2022 NBA Draft.

The Iowa State women’s basketball team received good news on Thursday when the top in-state prospect for the 2023 class announced her commitment to the Cyclones. At a ceremony at Bishop Garrigan High School Audi Crooks announced that she will continue her education and basketball career in Ames.

Crooks is a 6-3 forward that just helped lead Bishop Garrigan to the Class 1A State Championship this season. She averaged 23.5 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks this season for the Golden Bears.

Crooks made the choice to attend ISU out of a final five schools of Iowa, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa State. She’s long been a coveted prospect and held over 15 offers from schools around the country.

Crooks is the fifth commit in the 2023 class for the Cyclones.

GIRLS SOCCER

Omaha South 2, Lewis Central 1

Iowa punter Tory Taylor is working on consistency this spring. The native of Melbourne, Australia, set a single season punting record for yardage and averaged better than 44 yards per punt last season. He is also one of the Hawkeyes’ most popular players

Taylor will be a 25-year-old junior when next season begins and he is taking on more of a leadership role among the specialists.

Taylor says his leadership is as much about off the field as on it.

Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods says Taylor has been forced to adapt to his role as a leader.

Woods says Tylor is being looked on for leadership because of how well he has performed.
