Addie Bundy Named Iowa Soccer’s Director of Operations

Sports

May 6th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Former Hawkeye Addie Bundy will join the University of Iowa soccer staff as director of operations, it was announced Tuesday by head coach Dave DiIanni. Bundy spent three seasons as a soccer student-athlete from 2021-23.

“Welcoming Addie back to campus where she had a great undergraduate career is an exciting moment for our program,” said DiIanni. “Not only will she be excellent in the position of director of operations, but she understands the standards, expectations and history of Iowa soccer and what it took to build the program and sustain the success we’ve had.”

Bundy had a stellar freshman year, earning unanimous Big Ten All-Freshman team honors. For her career, the Fort Collins, Colorado, native started 19 games, tallying six assists and two goals and accumulating 2,169 minutes across three seasons. Bundy was a part of the Big Ten Tournament Championship and NCAA Tournament team in 2023.

Off the field, Bundy was a two-time Academic All-Big Ten selection and she was named a CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree in 2022.

“This is truly a full-circle moment, and I’m grateful to return to the University of Iowa women’s soccer program – this time as a member of the staff,” said Bundy. “It’s an honor to contribute to the growth of a team, community and university that gave so much to me.”

“I’m excited to help develop the next generation of student-athletes and support the continued success of Iowa and the Big Ten.”

Bundy returns to Iowa City after spending the past year as a support specialist for Visit Fort Collins, a destination marketing organization focused on promoting Fort Collins, Colorado. She also served as an assistant soccer coach at Rocky Mountain High School this past spring.

Bundy graduated with a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Iowa in 2024.

Sports

May 6th, 2025 by Ric Hanson

One current and one former member of the Iowa Hawkeye women’s wrestling team will bid for a spot on team USA next month as part of the Final X qualifying meet in Newark, New Jersey. Competitors will try to earn a spot in the World Championships in Croatia. Kennedy Blades is coming off an unbeaten junior season for the Hawkeyes and made her first U-S squad last summer when she won silver at the Paris Olympics.

Blades says earning a spot on the U-S Olympic team has made her even more hungry for international success.

Macey Kilty finished unbeaten in her final season at Iowa and two years ago qualified for her first U-S team in Newark.

Kilty will be in search of a spot on a third U-S that will compete at the World Championships.

Three-time Iowa NCAA champion Spencer Lee will bid for a spot on the U-S men’s team. He won silver last year at the Paris Olympics.

Sports

May 6th, 2025 by Christian Adams

Underneath a clear sky and beautiful spring weather the Bruce Henderson Invitational was an astounding success for the Atlantic Trojan Tack and Field team. A packed full stadium was treated to tight races and numerous personal and school records, and the honoring of the Atlantic seniors on what was their last home meet. In addition to the success of the the meet itself, the Trojans performed exceptionally well. While the Girls finished in second, the Boys won the meet outright in an impressive display.

The boys had a night to remember. In addition to winning three events, the Trojans had six other top three finishes and six other top 5 finishes. There were also 36 individual personal records broken. These included Ethan McNeal’s second place finish in the 400m,  Gavin McLaren’s second place effort in the shot put, and Mason Betts 4:52.97 time in the 1600m, just to name a few. Another PR that was broken was Xavier Darrow’s 160-02 Discuss throw that earned first. Darrow spoke of a shared feeling about how being at home boosted his resolve.

One of the most exciting parts of the night came near the end in the boys 4x100m relay when Zander Killion , Jarrett Hansen, Tye Houser and Ethan McNeal broke the previous school record set last year. In and impressive 43.64 the Trojans won with ease as Hansen shared what it meant to break a record he was a part of last season.

On the girls side, the Trojans were nearly as impressive. Atlantic finished with three event wins, along with three other top three finishes, 3 top five finishes and 14 broken personal records on their way to a strong second place finish. Gianna Mixon and Claire Comes broke multiple PR’s. Anoter athlete who had a great was Lila Wiederstein. In addition to winning the long jump, she also broke a pr in her hotly contested win in the 200m dash as she shared her thoughts on her performance.

Senior Morgan Botos also had a strong showing particularly as a part of Atlantic’s 4x200m team that finished second. She shares a feeling repeated amongst both the boys and the girls of added confidence heading into important meets in the days and Weeks to come.

In addition to the success of the upperclassmen head coach Matt Mullenix liked how some of his younger athletes responded.

With conference district and state meets fast approaching, Mullenix said that some ideas had ben strengthend but that their is still room for improvement.

Both the Boys and the Girls teams will be back in action on Thursday at Creston as a part of the Hawkeye Ten Track and Field Championships.

 

 

Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods on a proposed roster limit

Sports

May 6th, 2025 by Ric Hanson

If new NCAA roster limits are implemented it could have a big impact on special teams. A proposed roster limit of 105 players under the NCAA-House settlement is in limbo right now but could be in place for the start of fall camp. Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods.

Woods says under the proposed roster limit the days of carrying three kickers, punters and long snappers are over.

Woods says it will become difficult to keep players on the roster just because they can help on special teams.

The Hawkeyes open next season at home on August 30th against the Univesity of Albany.

Sports

May 6th, 2025 by Jack McGonigal

The Riverside Boys Track team after two first-place finishes and a runner-up finish in the last few weeks. The Bulldogs were crowned champions at the Lenox COED Meet and the Griswold relays last week. Head Coach Alex Oliver says winning the Griswold meet was a major confidence booster and a sign of his team not giving up.

The Bulldogs have been able to score points in all areas this season, making Riverside difficult team to compete against.

Sophomore Cole Jeppeson and Jaxson Gordon have placed in multiple events in just about every meet this season. Gordon, a returning state medalist, has his eyes on getting back to the state meet, along with more hardware at the meets still on the schedule.

Oliver says the team’s competitive drive may be higher in practice compared to outside competition.

The Bulldogs are hitting their stride at the right time with the state qualifying meet only one week out.
