Former Iowa offensive lineman Connor Colby hopes to be the next late round pick to become a star for the San Francisco 49ers. Colby was selected in the second round of last month’s NFL Draft after making 50 starts in his Hawkeye career at both tackle spots and right guard. He tried to adjust to the new level in the 49ers recent rookie mini-camp.

Colby has followed the career of former Hawkeye tight end George Kittle, who went from late round pick to NFL star.

NASCAR driver Josh Berry feels a top 10 finish at the Iowa Corn 350 helped him land a new ride. Berry finish seventh in the race last June while competing for the Stewart-Haas team had announced it was closing up shop. Less that two weeks later, Berry signed to race this season for the Wood Brothers team.

Berry is looking forward to the cup series retiring in August.

Berry notched a career changing win in March when he earned his first cup series in in Las Vegas.

Berry says it also served to raise the expectations.

Berry is currently 16th in the cup series standings after a 17th place finish in Sunday night’s All Star race.

The Iowa Corn 350 is August third.

“The team responded today and showed out with really solid performances. Looking at the third and fourth varsity races, they were able to get ahead with gutsy performances. In the fours, they all went out and attacked, with the 1V4 finishing fearless. Our 2V8 showed out and had a much more complete race, while the 1V8 had an unbelievable second half of the race which showed their heart and determination that they have had all year.

EUGENE, Ore. – University of Iowa track and field senior sprinter Kalen Walker became an individual Big Ten champion for the first time in his career on Sunday, winning the 100 meters in 10.17 at Hayward Field.

The native of Eddyville, Iowa, led wire-to-wire and held off USC’s Eddie Nketia (10.18) to win the title. The win gained the Iowa men 10 team points.

“Kalen had a rocket start, stayed patient and drove the entire way,” Iowa Director of Track and Field Joey Woody said. “He maintained his rhythm all the way through the tape to win his first individual Big Ten title while beating a stellar field of sprinters. It was a truly amazing moment for him after battling through a lot of injuries over the last couple years.”

Walker became Iowa’s fifth champion in the 100 meters and first since Justin Austin was crowned in 2013. He joins two-time champion George Page (1995-96), Tim Dwight (1999) and Austin as a 100-meter Big Ten champion. Walker’s 10.17 finish was the second-fastest among the Hawkeye winners in the event.

The Iowa men placed seventh with 59 points. The women scored 47 points and finished in eighth place. Oregon won the men’s title at its home facility, while USC claimed the women’s championship.

“It was a crazy, up and down weekend for both teams as most championships go,” Woody said. “I am extremely proud of how our men and women competed all three days. We battled through unfortunate events on the women’s side with a disqualification in the 4×100 relay and the 400 meters, but we finished with five medalists. It was a total team effort this weekend and I am proud of our staff and athletes.”

Sophomore Kai Graves-Blanks locked in a second-place finish in finals of the 110-meter hurdles with a personal best of 13.51, improving the seventh-fastest time in school history. The native of Upland, California, earned second-team all-Big Ten honors. Graves-Blanks took a significant jump as a sophomore, improving on his seventh-place finish in 2024 as a freshman.

“Kai kept his composure after a tough start and was really moving over the last five hurdles,” said Woody. “He came off the last hurdle just a little off balance, otherwise I think he would’ve been right there to win it.”

Iowa performed well in the 4×400-meter relays, earning silver medals on both sides. The women’s quartet posted the program’s fourth-fastest time in its runner-up finish of 3:31.54. Alivia Williams, Damaris Mutunga, Olicia Lucas and Chioma Nwachukwu were neck and neck with powerhouse USC for the entire race. The Hawkeyes’ 4×400-meter relay team placed second in a tightly contested race, ultimately finishing behind Ohio State. Landon Fontenot, Tyrese Miller, Terrick Johnson and Zidane Brown wrapped up the final in 3:04.63. Iowa and Ohio State fought for inside position at the final exchange, where the Buckeyes pulled ahead.

“The men’s and women’s 4×400 relays competed exceptionally well today and came up a bit short of winning both relays. They both have a lot more in the tank and will be battling to make the NCAA finals,” Woody added.

In the field, the Hawkeye women finished third in the triple jump, high jump and javelin. Sophomore Daniela Wamokpego hit the 13.36-meter mark, achieving a personal best and tying second all-time at Iowa. Teammate Jeanne Le Goff picked up a sixth-place finish at 12.93 meters. In the high jump, freshman Maria Arboleda jumped 1.81 meters, while Lizzy Korczak claimed the bronze in the javelin at 55.25 meters. The group picked up 21 points for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa’s men’s 4×100 relay team placed fourth and set the fourth-fastest time in school history. The quartet of Jaylin Holmes, Kalen Walker, Joe Stein and Brown circled the track in a season-best 39.13 to score five key points for the men’s team.

In the women’s 800 meters, senior Alli Bookin-Nosbisch earned her place on the podium with a fourth place finish. The Ottumwa, Iowa native clocked in at 2:05.12

The Hawkeyes flooded the finals in the men’s 400 meters and were ultimately led by Fontenot, who finished sixth in a personal-best 46.12. Tyrese Miller (46.46) and Josh Pugh (47.04) followed in seventh and ninth, respectively.

Junior Wisdom Williams recorded a personal best in the women’s shot put throwing 16.19 meters and finishing tenth. This mark secures her fourth all-time at Iowa.

Senior Lia Love competed in the finals of the 100 (11.48) and 200 (23.75) meters on Sunday, placing ninth in both events.

Freshman Elena Torres posted a lifetime best in the women’s 5,000 meters, crossing the line in 16:27.85 and finishing 19th overall.

Up Next: The Hawkeyes prepare for the NCAA First Rounds, hosted by Texas A&M in College Station from May 28-31.

The Atlantic baseball team begins their season Monday with a home contest against the Griswold Tigers. The Trojans come off a one-win season from a season ago, but Head Coach Nathan Block says a season ago left a bad taste in their mouths and are operating a little differently.

The Trojans bring back a ton of experience as there were zero seniors on last year’s team. Block says there are several players he has been impressed with in the preseason including one transfer.

In the beginning of the season, Block plans to rotate players in and out while seeing what works best for his team.

With 37 players in the program, the Trojans feel like depth will not be an issue this spring. Atlantic plays 23 regular season games this year with 20 0f them being against Hawkeye Ten opponents.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The University of Iowa rowing team advances all seven boats to the petite final at the Big Ten Championships on Eagle Creek Reservoir. The seeding heats were moved an hour early today, to minimize windy conditions, which was expected to move in during racing.

EUGENE, Ore. – University of Iowa track and field freshman Pauline Bikembo concluded day two of the 2025 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships with a school record in the women’s heptathlon at Hayward Field on Saturday.

Heading into the final day of competition, the men are in sixth place with 19 points through nine events. Through six completed events, the women’s team has four points in tenth place. The Hawkeyes advanced nine athletes to the finals.

“The multis had a great weekend overall,” Director of Track and Field Joey Woody said. “Pauline (Bikembo) had to fight through some adversity this weekend and put together a great second day to finish fifth overall in the heptathlon. I was proud of Carlee (Rochford) this weekend coming away with a lot of individual personal bests and overall heptathlon personal record to finish just off the podium. I was very pleased with how Sal (Capaldo) competed the entire weekend. He came out with another podium finish in the decathlon and scored three more points for the team.”

Bikembo and sophomore Carlee Rochford wrapped up the women’s heptathlon with two all-time program marks. Bikembo set a new Iowa record with 5,722 points, earning two personal bests and three top-five finishes to place fifth overall. Rochford scored 5,319 points to move to eighth on Iowa’s all-time list, collecting four personal bests and two fourth-place finishes to take tenth overall.

Junior Sal Capaldo secured sixth place with 7,193 points and five top-five finishes in the men’s decathlon. Capaldo set a personal best in the javelin, throwing 43.03 meters.

Freshman Luke Knepp turned in an impressive performance in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, placing sixth in 8:47.03. He picked up three team points to cap the evening.

“I thought we had a lot of great results today, especially Luke Knepp finishing the day off with a sixth-place finish in the steeplechase and picking up three big team points for us,” said Woody.

Freshman Damaris Mutunga secured first place in the women’s 400 meters prelims with a time of 52.54. Chioma Nwachukwu will join Mutunga in the finals on Sunday after placing third in the prelims in 52.92. Freshman Landon Fontenot (46.62), junior Tyrese Miller (46.71) and sophomore Josh Pugh (46.74) cruised through the men’s 400 meter prelims and will compete in the finals on Sunday. In the men’s 110-meter hurdles, sophomore Kai Graves-Blanks won his heat in 13.59 to punch his ticket to the event finals.

In the women’s 800 meters prelims, senior Alli Bookin-Nosbisch locked in a first place finish with a qualifying time of 2:03.90.

Veteran sprinters Kalen Walker and Lia Love sped through the prelims and are headed to the finals tomorrow. Walker, a fifth-year senior, placed fifth in the men’s 100-meter prelims, clocking 10.30. On the women’s side, Love, a senior from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, secured a spot in the finals with a ninth-place finish in 11.48.

“We punched a lot of tickets to the finals today, led by multiple finalists in the men’s and women’s 400 meters. We are in a very good position heading into championship Sunday with a lot of great opportunities to score team points and move up the standings,” Woody added.

Up Next: Competition resumes at the 2025 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships at 11:30 a.m. (CT) on Saturday. Events will be streamed on B1G+ (subscription required).
