Atlantic boys swimmer Nick Landhuis competed at the State Swim meet at the University of Iowa Aquatics Center on Saturday.  Landhuis finished 20th overall in the 100 yard backstroke with a time of 55.32.

The Team Title race was an exciting one as it came down to the last race for Ames and WDM Valley. Valley took the win in the 400 free relay but Ames came in second to hang on for the Team Title 221 to 220.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State freshman Lindell Wigginton upstaged Trae Young by scoring 26 points and the Cyclones upset No. 17 Oklahoma 88-80 on Saturday, handing the Sooners their sixth consecutive road loss. Fellow rookie Cam Lard had 19 points with 17 rebounds for the Cyclones (13-11, 4-8 Big 12), who beat a ranked team at home for the third time in a span of three weeks.

Iowa State built and then blew a 17-point lead, but Donovan Jackson’s 3 with 1:55 left put it ahead 80-77. Wigginton then beat the shot clock with a long 3, and Jackson hit a pair of free throws to clinch the win.

The Cyclones ran the Sooners (16-8, 6-6) out of the building in the first half, holding Young to just one 3 in the opening 19 minutes while building a lead that stretched to 40-23. Young finished with 22 points and 11 assists, but he was just 1 of 8 on 3s with six turnovers.

The Sooners fought back behind their defense. They held Iowa State without a field goal for eight minutes and eventually tied the game at 71-all on Young’s layup with 4:55 left. Christian James also had 22 points for Oklahoma.

After losing to West Virginia at home and to the Cyclones on the road, Oklahoma might find itself out of Monday’s poll.

The Treynor Cardinals and Atlantic Trojans went blow by blow in a great basketball game on Friday night and the Cardinals prevailed 66-62. The game featured 8 ties and 13 lead changes.

Both teams delivered some great offense throughout the game and a couple of individual performances for the Cardinals helped them get the win. Luke Clausen dropped in 7 threes on the night, including a huge one in the fourth quarter to give Treynor a four point lead they would hold on to. Atlantic clawed within 1 after a Chase Mullenix three at 61-60 but Clausen answered with the final of his downtown makes to make it 64-60. Atlantic got back within two and had possession but Scott Leonard lost the ball out of bounds trying to make a baseline spin on the block. Clausen then iced it with two free throws to provide the final points.

Clausen finished with 31 points to lead all scorers. Dillon Faubel also had a stellar game for Treynor with 24 points and he went over 1,000 career points in the process. The Cardinals stay undefeated at 21-0. They now prepare for the playoffs and a semifinal match-up in Subtate 8 District 16 against either Clarinda and Shenandoah. That game will be played on Thursday, February 15th at 8:00pm in Treynor as the second half of a doubleheader.

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State Athletics Department announced today that quarterback Kyle Kempt has been granted a sixth season of eligibility by the NCAA. Kempt will be a senior at Iowa State in 2018.

The NCAA granted Kempt an extension of eligibility on Jan. 30 after considering the totality of circumstances surrounding his transfer from Oregon State University and Hutchinson Community College (Kansas).

“We are excited that Kyle was given another year of eligibility by the NCAA,” Iowa State head football coach Matt Campbell said. “We alerted Kyle and our recruits when we received the clearance notification on Jan. 30. Since then all of our efforts had been focused on our 2018 football team and recruiting. Kyle has established himself as a leader on our team and we are thrilled by the NCAA’s decision to allow him to remain a Cyclone in 2018.”

“I’m relieved the decision has been made and extremely excited to be back with the team in 2018,” Kempt said. “We have a lot of work to do and it is a thrill for me to be able to represent this great university for another year. I am also thankful for the NCAA for looking at my situation so thoroughly and for all of the people involved in this process. They put in a lot of hard work and I really appreciate it.”

A native of Massillon, Ohio, Kempt played a huge part in Iowa State’s resurgence nationally in 2017, helping the Cyclones post an 8-5 record, appear in the AP top-25 for the first time since 2005 and claim their fourth bowl win in school history.

Kempt had attempted only two passes in his collegiate career prior to earning his first career start at No. 3 Oklahoma on Oct. 7. He proceeded to lead Iowa State to one of its greatest victories in school history, throwing for 343 yards and three touchdowns on 18-of-24 passing.

Kempt’s fourth-quarter toss to Allen Lazard with 2:19 left in the game was the game-winner in the Cyclones’ 38-31 victory. Kempt was named Davey O’Brien National QB of the Week and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week after his performance vs. the Sooners.

Kempt kept the Cyclones rolling through a perfect October (4-0), including another win over a top-5 opponent in a 14-7 victory vs. No. 4 TCU in Jack Trice Stadium.

The honorable mention All-Big 12 selection finished the season with a 5-3 record as a starter, including a 3-1 mark vs. ranked opponents. He broke ISU’s single-season completion percentage (66.3) mark, connecting on 161-of-243 passes for 1,787 yards and 15 touchdowns. His 15 touchdowns passes ties for fifth on Iowa State’s season record list in just nine games played.

He notched his second 300-yard passing game of the year (314 yards) in the 21-20 win over No. 19 Memphis in the Liberty Bowl.

Kempt began his career at Oregon State in 2013, redshirting his first season and directing the scout team in 2014. After a coaching change, Kempt transferred to Hutchinson Community College in 2015.

Kempt joined the Cyclones as a walk-on in 2016, seeing action in two games. He got his chance in 2017 where he remained a walk-on.

Campbell also announced that Kempt has received a scholarship for the remainder of his Cyclone career.
