Five area school districts set to share girls wrestling program at CAM this Fall

Sports

June 23rd, 2022 by admin

Five area school districts are set to share a girls wrestling program at CAM schools this upcoming season. Atlantic made the announcement at their school board meeting on Wednesday night that they will enter into the agreement. The other schools involved are Griswold, Nodaway Valley, and Southwest Valley. CAM will be the host school for the shared 7-12 girls wrestling program. Atlantic Superintendent Steve Barber said officials from each school district saw benefits from sharing the program.

Mr. Barber also explained how the cost of the program would be shared.

For Atlantic Mr. Barber said they would probably have to have a transportation chaperone to get the girls to Massena for practice. They have discussed some different scheduling options for different host competition sites and are working through that. The agreement will continue on an annual basis unless a school involved notifies CAM they want to discontinue participation on or before March 1st of the previous school year.

Iowa Hall of Pride to transition to online format

Sports

June 23rd, 2022 by admin

(IHSAA) BOONE, IA — The Iowa Hall of Pride will soon live on through a digital format with the launch of the Iowa High School Athletic Association’s online program, Achieve.

The Hall of Pride museum, run by the IHSAA, will conclude its public schedule and operating hours on June 30 and close its physical location during the 2022-23 school year. Before that, it will transition to an online platform featuring many of the experiences that have made the Hall of Pride a special venue since its opening at Iowa Events Center in downtown Des Moines in 2005.

“While the Hall of Pride has been a unique space to honor excellence in Iowa’s history and education-based activities, we have seen declining attendance at the location in recent years,” said IHSAA executive director Tom Keating.

“We believe the best way to serve our member schools and the most students is through Achieve. The new digital format will make the Hall of Pride’s lessons available to anyone, anywhere at no cost.”

Through Achieve, online visitors will be able to view a variety of videos previously only seen at the Iowa Hall of Pride and learn about the rich history of Iowa high school activities. Achieve will also provide a hub for student programs and IHSAA history, including archives, Halls of Fame, and educational offerings for member schools.

Achieve launches online on June 22 and its programming, videos, and archives will continue to grow through the digital platform after the Hall of Pride closes. Achieve’s URL through the IHSAA website is: https://www.iahsaa.org/achieve.

“From its inception under Bernie Saggau and Jack Lashier, the Hall of Pride opened with a goal of ‘Educating the future, preserving the past, celebrating the accomplishments of all Iowans.’” Keating said.

“We are excited to launch the next chapter through Achieve, which will honor the vision and mission of the Hall of Pride and continue to celebrate the incredible student-athletes and individuals who have positively affected Iowa for generations.”

The Hall of Pride’s museum averaged around 800 visitors per month from January 2015 through January 2020. Since reopening in July 2020 at Iowa Events Center following a COVID-19 related closure, the 26,000-square foot space has averaged around 250 monthly visitors. The IHSAA’s current website averages one million pageviews per month and will highlight Achieve with an opportunity to present focused content and video through IHSAA channels.

The Iowa Hall of Pride will honor existing field trip and event reservations. Its public hours and scheduling will conclude June 30.

Hawkeye Wave will be accompanied by Kid Captain’s song choice moving forward

Sports

June 22nd, 2022 by admin

(HawkeyeSports) The Hawkeye Wave is no longer getting one new song. Instead, the best tradition in college sports is getting a new soundtrack.

Two months after the University of Iowa announced it was asking Hawkeye fans to vote for the next song to accompany the Hawkeye Wave, those fans put the decision into the hands of the patients and families at UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

“The interest and passion for the Hawkeye Wave cannot be overstated, and the selflessness of the Hawkeye community proved once again why the Wave is the greatest tradition in college sports,” says Peter Matthes, vice president for external relations and senior advisor to the president. “The response for a new song was incredible, and one suggestion we continued to hear was, ‘Let the kids decide.’ So that is exactly what we will do.”

For every home game the Iowa football team plays inside Kinnick Stadium, the UI Department of Athletics, in coordination with the UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital Kid Captain program, will ask that week’s Kid Captain to help select a new song to accompany the Hawkeye Wave.

The Kid Captain program began in 2009 to honor UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital patients and celebrate their inspirational stories. A Kid Captain is picked for each Iowa football game, and each child selected receives a commemorative jersey, special recognition from the hospital and the football team, and other behind-the-scenes activities.

The Hawkeye Wave was introduced five years ago and immediately became a tradition celebrated by the entire country. At every Iowa football home game since 2017, nearly 70,000 fans, student-athletes, and coaches, even from the opposing teams, take a break between the first and second quarters at Kinnick Stadium to exchange waves with patients and families inside UI Stead Family Children’s Hospital.

For nearly every game since its inception, the Hawkeye Wave was accompanied by country music singer Pat Green’s song, “Wave on Wave,” over the stadium’s PA system. On April 21, 2022, the university announced it would seek public input in selecting a new song.

“We felt after five years it was time for the fans to choose the song for the Hawkeye Wave, and the fans suggested we extend that honor to the children,” says Matthes. “The children are the true heroes, so the choice is theirs. That is something we can all agree on, and I cannot thank our fans enough for their input, engagement, and generosity.”
