Iowa State’s Holthaus, Herrera earn All-Big 12

Sports

April 9th, 2021 by admin

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State volleyball had a pair of players honored in the conference’s postseason awards program, announced on Thursday. Junior right side Eleanor Holthaus was named to the All-Big 12 First Team, while senior middle blocker Candelaria Herrera was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team.

Holthaus was named to the All-Big 12 First Team for a second-straight season, becoming the 10th Cyclone to be named to the First Team twice in their careers. Herrera earned her second All-Big 12 honor as a Cyclone after being a First Team honoree in 2019, and is the 14th Cyclone to make at least two All-Big 12 Teams (First Team, Second Team or Honorable Mention) during her career.

Holthaus was the Cyclones’ outstanding performer throughout the season, leading the ISU attack with 251 kills at 3.22 per set, which she got at .261 hitting. She was in double figures 15 times, including matching her career-high off 22 twice at TCU on Nov. 21 and vs. Wayne State on March 26. She hit over .300 in a match nine times during the season. In the back row, she recorded 157 digs at 2.01 per set. Holthaus notched eight double-doubles on the season.

Despite missing the spring potion of the season while back in Argentina training with the National Team, Herrera put up big numbers in her 14 matches with the Cyclones. She was fourth on the team with her 2.36 kills per set, which she got at a team-best .271 hitting percentage. Herrera had six matches in double figures, including a career-best 20 kills vs. Kansas on Nov. 13. The Argentine was also ISU’s leader at the net, finishing with 1.11 blocks per set on the season, a figure that was good for sixth in the conference on the season.

Herrera spent the spring in Argentina training with the Argentina Women’s Volleyball National Team in an effort to make the team for the 2020 Olympic Games this summer in Tokyo, Japan. Herrera will take advantage of the waiver year offered by the NCAA and will return to the Cyclones in Fall 2021.

Becker signs with UNI

Sports

April 7th, 2021 by admin

Atlantic senior Craig Alan Becker made his college choice official on Wednesday. Surrounded by family and coaches Becker signed his letter of intent to continue his track career at the University of Northern Iowa.

Becker has been a standout track and cross country runner for Atlantic. He notched the best ever finish for a Trojan boys cross country runner with a 7th place finish at State this past season. He was part of Atlantic’s State Championship 4x800M Relay team in 2018. Becker said he really likes the mix of big opportunities and personalized feel that UNI has to offer.

Becker said he really knew that he wanted to continue running in college after missing the track season last year.

The quick success he experienced on the cross country course gives him the confidence that he can thrive at the next level.

Becker will look to run the 800M at UNI along with the possibility of contributing to some relay teams.
