IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa freshman Tyler Guerin was named to the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award Watch List, it was announced Tuesday by the College Baseball Foundation.

The Two-Way Player of the Year award is named for former Washington State University standout John Olerud, who achieved success both as a first baseman and left-handed pitcher during the late 1980s. He was inducted into the National College Baseball Hall of Fame in 2007. The midseason watch list features 35 two-way players. The award will be presented by the College Baseball Foundation later this summer.

Guerin has appeared in 18 games for the Hawkeyes this season. In nine appearances on the mound the Shoreview, Minnesota native has an 0.87 ERA with allowing one earned run on three hits. He has struck out 17, allowed a .088 batting average against and recorded one save.

At the plate, Guerin has eight at bats with a .375 average with three RBIs, a double and a run scored.

Former Hawkeye Tyler Peyton was a semifinalist for the Olerud Award in 2015, and Keaton Anthony was on the midseason watch list in 2023.

The Hawkeyes host Bradley in a midweek game Wednesday at 6:05 pm before a three-game road trip at Michigan April 18-20.

QUOTING HEAD COACH JEFF GARBUTT
“I am really excited that this group was honored for their efforts this past weekend. They went out and preformed the race plans we discussed and improved each round of racing. I am impressed by the leadership of the seniors in the boat and how the younger athletes have raced with such maturity this spring.”

The Hawkeyes will return to action April 18 for the Big Ten Invitational in Sarasota, Florida.

As he prepares for his senior season Iowa State safety Jeremiah Cooper is stepping into a leadership role. Cooper is the lone returning safety in a secondary that lost Malik Verdon and Beau Freyler.

Cooper is looking to step up his game next season. had had four interceptions in 2024 and was named honorable mention All Big 12.

A lot of new faces will be counted on next season at the back of the Cyclone defense.

Cooper saw playing time as a freshman and says preparing for his final season is a much different feeling.

The Cyclones close spring drills on April 26th.

Iowa punter Rhys Dakin says an entire off season will give him a chance to work on areas of improvement. The native of Australia was a second team All-Big Ten choice last season and a freshman All American after averaging just over 44 yards per punt and had 29 downed inside the 20-yard line.

Dakin says a big focus for him this spring has been consistency.

Dakin says working on the technical aspects will also help him with ball placement.

Dakin is working with a new long snapper this spring. Redshirt freshman Ike Speltz is replacing All American Luke Elkin.

The Hawkeyes close spring drills with an open practice in Kinnick Stadium on April 26th.

The Griswold School Board voted 4-to-3 to approve the agreement. Griswold Shared School Superintendent Dave Henrichs told KJAN News the CAM School Board also approved the agreement during their meeting, Monday night.

Henrichs said the discussions began after CAM reached out to the Griswold School District.

Griswold Head Coach Jody Rossell spoke at the special meeting Monday. Henrichs said she is 100-percent behind the sharing agreement.

Griswold Athletic Director Cole Cooper, Henrichs said, shared his thoughts and data to show the agreement is a good move..

Griswold will be the host school for most of the practices and games. A few will also take place at CAM.

The combined teams will wear Griswold uniforms. The agreement is for the Summer of 2025 and 2026.
