IOWA CITY, Iowa – University of Iowa sprinter Kalen Walker will participate in the 60-meter dash at the historic Millrose Games in New York City on February 1.

Walker will compete at approximately 3:20 p.m. (CT). The event will be televised on NBC. More meet information can be found here.

A senior from Eddyville, Iowa, Walker was a first-team All-American in the 60 meters in 2024. He is Iowa’s school record holder with a 6.51 mark set twice during the 2024 season, including in the prelims at the Big Ten Indoor Championships.

The Millrose Games began in 1908 and will take place for the 118th time at the Nike Track & Field Center at The Armory, where it moved to in 2012. The Armory has earned the nickname of “The Fastest Track in the World.” Before moving to The Armory, the meet took place at Madison Square Garden.

Prior to the Millrose Games, the Iowa track and field program will host the Larry Wieczorek Invitational on January 23-24, before traveling to the Meyo Invitational on January 30-31.

(Radio Iowa) – The sport of curling may see a resurgence in popularity next month as the Winter Olympics open, but Iowans won’t have to travel to Milan, Italy, to try it themselves. Emily Nelson, spokeswoman for Cedar Rapids Curling, says they’re offering several 90-minute “learn to curl” training sessions over the next several weeks.

The Winter Games open on February 6th but the international curling events actually start a few days earlier, on the 4th.

The sport reportedly began on the frozen lochs and marshes of Scotland during the early 1500s. The modern version of curling still involves sliding large stones across the ice toward targets, and while it may look easy, Nelson assures there’s an abundance of skill involved.

Regular curling leagues are underway in Cedar Rapids with about 65 members, ranging in age from pre-teens into the 70s. Learn to curl events are scheduled for February 17th and 24th, and March 3rd and 7th.

Iowa took the lead for good with an 8-2 run midway through the second half, Tuesday night, and held off Rutgers 68-62 in Iowa City. Bennett Stirtz had 20 points and freshman Tate Sage had a season high 17 as the Hawkeyes move to 4-4 in the Big Ten.

The Hawkeyes are 14-5 overall and will be off until hosting USC next Wednesday.

Iowa led by seven at halftime before Rutgers opened the second half with a 9-0 run and it was close the rest of the way.

That’s Iowa coach Ben McCollum who says the Hawkeyes can’t win game on just talent.

McCollum on his plan for the next week without a game.

Ninth ranked Iowa State snapped a two-game losing skid in convincing fashion. The Cyclones raced out to an 18-point halftime lead and rolled to an 87-57 win over Central Florida in Ames. Joshua Jefferson had a triple-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

The Cyclones improve to 17-2 overall and 4-2 in the Big 12.

The Cyclones shot 51 percent for the game and had 22 assists.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. The Cyclones scored 31 points off 19 UCF turnovers.

For the first time during Jan Jensen’s tenure the Iowa Hawkeye women are ranked in the nation’s top ten. The Hawkeyes are 10th in the latest AP Poll heading into Thursday night’s game at 15th ranked Maryland.

The Hawkeyes are 16-2 overall and 7-0 in the Big Ten.

Iowa State women’s coach Bill Fennelly says junior guard Arianna Jackson could return for Wednesday night’s game at home against Cincinnati. Jackson missed the last three games after suffering a knee injury late in a 71-63 loss at Cincinnati back on January seventh.

Jackson’s return would be a boost for a Cyclone team that has lost five straight games and is also missing junior forward Addy Brown.

With Brown and Jackson sidelined the Cyclones are searching for an identity.

Cincinnati is the first opponent the Cyclones will play for a second time and Fennelly says that will alter the preparation.

The teams met only two weeks ago.
