Sioux City native Shelby Houlihan has not been motivated by anger as she returns to the track. Houlihan is coming off a four-year doping ban that she blamed on a tainted Burrito and she finished second in the three thousand meter run at the World Indoor Championships in China last month. She will compete at the Drake Relays next week.

Houlihan says focusing on the future and having fun helped her training before the race in China.

Houlihan spent a lot of time with her family and in her hometown during her suspension.

Houlihan is the U-S record holder in the 1500 meters. She will compete in the US 1 Mile Road Championship next Wednesday as well as the women’s invitational mile in Drake Stadium on April 26th.

Iowa special teams standout Kaden Wetjen has been placed on scholarship for the upcoming season. Wetjen was recently named winner of the Jet Award as the nation’s top return specialist and decided to return for his final season.

The native of Williamsburg began his college career at Iowa Western Community College before joining the Hawkeye program as a walk on.

Wetjen is getting more reps at receiver this spring and suddenly finds himself one of the oldest receivers on the team.

Iowa State running backs coach Jake Landry says the transition to the Cyclone coaching staff has been smooth this spring. Landry was previously the running backs coach and offensive coordinator at North Dakota State and replaced Tyler Roehl on the ISU staff after he got hired by the Detroit Lions.

Landry says he has enjoyed the move to the community of Ames.

Landry is good friends with Cyclone receivers coach Noah Pauly.

Pitching and defense have been a key as the Iowa Hawkeye baseball team takes a 14-4 Big Ten record into Friday night’s start of of three game series at Michigan. The pitching staff has a league low 3.48 earned run average and the Hawkeyes have given up a Big Ten low 65 runs.

That’s Iowa coach Rick Heller who says those numbers have helped the Hawkeyes win all six of their Big Ten series so far this season.

Michigan is 8-7 in the Big Ten and took two of three from the Hawkeyes last year in Iowa City.

The Hawkeyes are coming off a series in which they won two of three games against Nebraska.

Iowa State offensive tackle Tyler Miller felt there was unfinished business and that is why he opted to return for his final season. Miller has been the starter at right tackle for the past two seasons and could have opted for the NFL Draft after helping lead the Cyclones to an 11-3 record.

Miller feels he will benefit from an extra year in college.

The Cyclones close spring drills April 26th.

UNI football coach Todd Stepsis does not expect the Panthers to be active in the transfer portal. The portal is open, again, and with FBS teams needing to trim their rosters to 105 players by the start of fall practice it is expected to be crowded.

Stepsis likes where the roster is this spring, but that could always change.

Stepsis says if the Panthers lose some players they may need to explore their options in the portal.

UNI’s spring game is May third at Cedar Falls High School.
