HEAR FROM HEAD COACH JEFF GARBUTT
“Today saw a good bit of positives for the team as a whole. We had a couple of wins and another few really close races. The highlight for me is always when we have younger athletes competing for the first time as Hawks and those that got their first wins today. I am really excited by everyone’s progress this year, having a team that is majority first and second year athletes. Having better conditions than in Sarasota allowed our women the opportunity to test our fitness and see our true speed. We are resting, refueling, and regrouping for tomorrow, hoping to see them improve and get 1% better every day! Go Hawks!”

Austin Busch competed very well and had a nice series of throws. Duke Faley competed very well today for his first collegiate win in the discus. We had multiple personal-bests on the track, led by freshmen Marissa Long and Armaan Chopra in the 1,500 meters. It was good to see Alivia get some momentum going in the hammer throw and be right off of her personal-best. I’m excited to see her progress over these next few meets.”

The Hawkeyes took home wins in the women’s 800 meters, women’s shot put, men’s hammer and men’s discus.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The University of Iowa baseball team shutout Nebraska, 1-0, in the series-opener at Duane Banks Field on Friday evening.

Junior Cade Obermueller started on the mound and produced yet another quality start. He struck out 11 batters and surrendered two hits and two walks over seven innings of work. Anthony Watts came in to relieve him and earned the save. He gave up one hit and struck out three.

“It was definitely an old school pitchers dual,” said head coach Rick Heller. “Obe was really good again tonight. Didn’t quite have the command he has had his last couple outings, but when he got some traffic he buckled down and made pitches when he had to.”

Kooper Schulte put the Hawkeyes ahead, 1-0, in the second frame with a 424-foot shot that cleared the scoreboard in left field. Iowa recorded two other hits on the night — singles from Gable Mitchell and Ben Swails.

“I am really happy with how we handled it,” said Heller. “The offense has been going so well, sometimes when you have a game like that the frustration really sets in because you start assuming you are going to score 10 runs and that’s not the way it is on a traditional Friday night. The thing I am thinking about the most I have been hoping we would get a win like that, we just hadn’t had that yet.”

Iowa (22-10, 13-3) held the Huskers to a .097 batting average (3-for-31) and recorded its seventh shutout of the season, good for second most in the NCAA.

UP NEXT

The Hawkeyes and Nebraska (15-19, 4-9) will continue the series tomorrow with game two at 2:02 p.m. (CDT). The game will be broadcast on B1G+ and the Hawkeye Radio Network.

Atlantic Trojans Senior Xavier Darrow will continue his football career by signing his letter of intent with the Central College Dutch Friday. Darrow was surrounded by friends and family when he put pen to paper in Atlantic’s auditorium and is thrilled for his time in Pella to begin but also knows it’s no walk in the park.

Darrow comes off the 2024 season with six catches and 75 yards with three touchdowns for the Trojans and was pursued to play both sides of the ball. The Central College commit believes he wants to focus on playing defense at the next level.

The coaching staff at Central College made it clear they had Darrow on their mind and the Trojan senior says that was a major factor.

Staying in Iowa was on Darrow’s checklist and is glad he was able to check that off.

James and Kara Darrow are extremely proud of Xavier and fell in love with Central College’s campus as much as their son did.

Darrow will begin his college football career this upcoming fall.
