DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — University of Iowa athletic director Gary Barta has testified that three rounds of complaints from parents and field hockey players prompted an investigation into the program that led to the firing of coach Tracey Griesbaum in 2014.
Griesbaum’s termination is a central piece of a lawsuit filed by former administrator Jane Meyer against the university and was a focus Monday in testimony in Meyer’s discrimination trial. Meyer, who was Barta’s longtime top assistant, filed the suit after being moved to another department soon after the firing of Griesbaum, who was her partner. Meyer’s job was eliminated in 2016.
Meyer alleges she suffered workplace discrimination as a gay woman in a relationship with a coach, that the school retaliated against her and that she was paid less than a male counterpart.

Other Atlantic Scores: Nate Gifford 82, Matt Gearheart 85.
Atlantic head coach Ed DenBeste: “Chilly start but the sun was out and the weather ended up being pretty nice out today. Tough thing today was not getting warmed up. No range to get a swing or two in. I think that didn’t help us on a few holes. Most had a rough hole or two. Jake hit two out on 2 but still finishes with a 74. Had 5 birdies today. Ben was disappointed but a nice score of 74. Zac got a little aggressive on a few holes on the back and it cost him a few strokes. Good to see Cyle shot a nice round and keep it in the 70s. Matt had a tough start with two OBs and was 5 over after first couple of holes. Better start and he would have been around his average. Nate had a nice round and would have been happy to take his 82. Great win for us today against some good competition.”
Abraham Lincoln took the team title at the Atlantic Girls Tennis Tournament on Saturday.

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) – The head football coach at Marshalltown High School has been found not guilty of assaulting a student. Court records say a six-member Marshall County jury acquitted 62-year-old Don Knock on Friday.
Marshalltown police say the student reported that Knock had grabbed and pushed him at school on Jan. 3 but caused no injury. Knock has said he was attempting to defuse a potentially hostile situation that had arisen between students.
The district declined to comment. Knock was hired for the post in May 2015 and has coached the team for two years while also serving as a physical education teacher.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Mike Leake allowed two runs over six innings and drove in two runs to lead St. Louis to a 6-4 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday, the Cardinals’ sixth win in seven games. Leake (3-1) gave up three hits and three walks while striking out six. He scored a run in the third inning and his two-run single capped a three-run fourth when St. Louis took a 4-2 lead.
The Cardinals took advantage of six walks by starter Jimmy Nelson (1-1) and an error by the Brewers for their first four runs. They made it 6-2 in the eighth on RBI singles by Fryer and pinch-hitter Matt Adams. Manny Pina opened the ninth inning for Milwaukee with his first homer and Jonathan Villar added an RBI single.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The blue tutu and diamond necklace that Prudence was wearing helped win over the judges at this year’s Beautiful Bulldog contest at Drake University. The 2 1/2-year-old bulldog owned by Angela and Tom Miller of Des Moines won the contest on Sunday. The tongue-in-cheek contest is the opening event of the Drake Relays, a prestigious track and field meet to be held at Drake Stadium.
Drake athletic director Sandy Hatfield, who served as a judge, says Prudence is “just gorgeous.” Student body President Thalia Anguiana was another judge. She says there’s just something about Prudence’s face that made her beautiful.
More than 1,000 people watched the contest as 38 bulldogs competed. Another 4,000 watched live online.
The Drake Relays are set to be held this upcoming week, Thursday through Saturday, at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.
High school qualifiers for this year’s events were announced on Saturday. Check out the full list of qualifiers here.
Atlantic’s Gratt Reed will compete in the 110 high hurdles and 400 hurdles. The Atlantic boys 4x400m relay team also qualified.
