The schedule features eight regular season home games and one exhibition at Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State will play a pair of exhibition games this season, starting Oct. 17 at Creighton, followed by a Oct. 26 game against Northwestern at Hilton Coliseum.

The regular season opener is slated for Nov. 3 against Fairleigh Dickinson. The Cyclones will have a second home game during the opening week of the season, facing Grambling State Nov. 6. In the third game of the first week of the season, Iowa State travels to Sioux Falls, S.D. to face Mississippi State at the Sanford Pentagon. The Bulldogs went 21-13 last season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Iowa State will host one more game before Feast Week, as Stonehill College comes to Hilton Coliseum Nov. 17.

Iowa State will travel to the Players Era Festival Nov. 25-29 in Las Vegas. Exact dates and opponents for the Players Era Festival will be determined later this summer. Teams currently scheduled to participate are Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, Creighton, Gonzaga, Houston, Kansas, Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Rutgers, San Diego State, St. Joe’s, St. John’s, Syracuse, Tennessee and UNLV. Of the 18 teams in the field, 13 appeared in the NCAA Tournament last season, with 11 of those 13 winning at least one game in the tournament. Iowa State returns to Hilton Coliseum to face Alcorn State Dec. 3.

The Cyclones will face back-to-back Big Ten opponents early in December. Iowa State travels to Purdue on Dec. 6, a team that went 24-12 last season and advanced to the Sweet 16 before dropping a 62-60 decision to eventual national runner-up Houston. The Cyclones will host Iowa on Dec. 11 in the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series. Iowa State is looking for its third-straight win in the series, something the Cyclones haven’t done since 2013-15.

Iowa State will play three more non-conference games in December to close out the slate. The Cyclones will host Eastern Illinois on Dec. 14 and Long Beach State on Dec. 21. Iowa State will close the non-conference slate against Houston Christian on Dec. 29.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa track and field has qualified 34 entries (17 men’s, 17 women’s) to the 2025 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field West first rounds in College Station, Texas, on May 28-31. The four-day meet takes place at E.B. Cushing Stadium on the campus of Texas A&M University.

Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller says Cade Obermueller could return to the mound if the Hawkeyes make it to Sunday’s championship game at the Big Ten baseball tournament in Omaha. Obernueller tossed seven scoreless innings on Wednesday night in the Hawkeyes 4-3 win over Rutgers.

The Hawkeyes play 13th ranked UCLA in Saturday’s semifinal round. Heller says having played fourth ranked Oregon and seventh ranked Oregon State the last two weeks will be good preparation.

Heller says against elite teams mistakes become magnified.

The Hawkeyes were blanked by Indiana 5-0 on Thursday night to close out pool play.

The Iowa High School Track and Field Championships is one of top track meets in the country but it was born out of necessity, Prior to 2005, the boys association and the girls union held their state meets on separate weekends. In 2005 the meets combined to accommodate the renovation schedule at Drake Stadium. IHSAA executive director Tom Keating was a first year high school principal for the first coed meet.

The meet has become so successful that it regularly draws more than 35 thousand fans over three days.

Iowa’s state meet regularly leads the nation in attendance.

The meet is currently operating under a three year contract and Keating sees no reason why it won’t continue.

Jason Eslinger is senior associate director of the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union. He was the publications director in 2005 for the first combined meet.

Eslinger says before the first day was done in 2005 they knew they had something special.

It has become the biggest high school track meet in the country.

Eslinger believes the combined meet is too good to do away with.

Day one was a successful one for Nodaway Valley’s Trenton Warner, as he is now a state champion. Warner won the event on his very first throw. A hurl going 53-11.75, which stood the test. The throw ended up beating Coon Rapids-Bayards’ Cal Heydon by more than a foot. Although he wasn’t sure the throw was a winner, he said it felt good.

He also fed off the crowd.

As a senior, it was significant for him to go out on top.

Warner’s effort helped lift the Wolverines to second place at the end of day one.
