Looking back on the 2020-21 school year A ROCKY START TO FALL Students came back to a hybrid semester in August, with daily life on campus looking a lot different from years past. Large classes were held virtually. Masks were required in buildings and in the classroom. Professors and students alike were conducting much of their business from home. Still, the University of Iowa saw an explosion of COVID-19 cases in the early fall. Before the end of the second week of classes, the university had surpassed 1,000 self-reported cases among students. The bulk of the spread was blamed on the nightlife downtown, and in late August, Former UI President Bruce Harreld wrote a letter to downtown businesses imploring them to follow safety measures to mitigate COVID-19 spread.

FOOTBALL’S B1G RETURN When the semester began, it seemed the UI would have a football-free fall. The Big Ten Conference announced in August that it would postpone all fall sports, citing pandemic concerns. The announcement brought disappointment among fans and athletes, including a lawsuit from eight Nebraska football players to reverse the decision. Then in September, the conference did just that. The Council of Presidents and Chancellors voted unanimously to resume the football season starting in late October. The season came with stipulations: players could opt out, there would be daily testing, and inevitably several games were canceled after players tested positive. After an impressive 6-2 season, the Hawkeyes were set to play in the Music City Bowl in December. But a spike in COVID-19 cases on the opposing Missouri team caused the game to be canceled, bringing an abrupt end to the season.

THE SEARCH FOR A NEW PRESIDENT In October 2020, former UI President Bruce Harreld made the surprise announcement that he’d be retiring early, initiating a search process to find the next president. Harreld’s contract was originally extended into 2023, and he planned to stay on as long as was needed to find a new president.

Fall 2020 was the first full semester during the pandemic, and it came with a lot of new challenges and experiences for Hawkeyes.

Over the next several months, the state Board of Regents and a search committee sifted through dozens of applicants and eventually narrowed down to four finalists. After formal interviews, public forums, and soliciting feedback from the UI community, the regents selected Barbara Wilson, the executive vice president and vice president of academic affairs at the University of Illinois system. Wilson will step into her new role on July 15.

A HISTORIC ELECTION Iowa had a front-row seat to the Democratic presidential primary in 2019 and early 2020, with the first-in-the-nation caucuses. As the election moved from the primaries to the general election, several races in Iowa were closely watched by both parties hoping to win the House and the Senate. Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump held rallies in Des Moines in the days leading up to the 2020 election, and candidates for Senate and Congress in Iowa campaigned aggressively in the weeks and months before Nov. 3.

VACCINE ROLLOUT By the middle spring semester, after nearly a year in a pandemic, the end appeared to be in sight. All Iowans over 16 became eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine on April 5, and the UI opened vaccine clinics for students soon after. By the end of the semester, close to half of all Johnson County residents had been vaccinated against COVID-19. Iowa City, one of a few cities in Iowa that had a mask mandate, lifted the mandate on May 18 after Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that vaccinated people did not have to wear masks in most situations, and many of the summer events and celebrations that were canceled in 2020 are set to return this summer.

Resources available to first-generation students at the UI If you are the first student in your family navigating college life, there are many helpful resources available to you at the UI

UI continues practices to mitigate spread of With COVID-19 still a relevant issue in the Iowa City community, the University of Iowa will bring initiatives to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 into the 2021-2022 school year. Since March 2020, the University of Iowa has implemented various initiatives to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the campus community and adjacent areas. The UI has worked to slow the spread of COVID-19 by requiring students and employees to wear a mask when inside campus buildings and practice social distancing. The university also provided quarantine and isolation housing for on-campus students and helped with the allocation and distribution of vaccines. On May 19, the UI lifted its mask requirement for fully vaccinated people. Fully vaccinated people aren’t required to wear face masks or social distance in most UI facilities, excluding the UI Hospitals and Clinics and CAMBUS. The university will be returning to an on-campus, face-to-face residential experience for the fall 2021 semester, and is updating current and future students, families, faculty, and staff regarding the semester and any information that may indicate a change in proposed plans. The UI plans to offer primarily face-to-face instruction, excluding most classes that have an enrollment of more than 150 students. Decisions regarding face masks, social distancing, and other health and safety measures for the fall semester will be based on the advice of the state Board of Regents; the

Iowa and Johnson County departments of public health; the Big Ten Conference; and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Based on a policy from the regents, the UI won’t be mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for students nor employees, but the university heavily encourages everyone who can be vaccinated to do so. Going into fall 2021, the UI will continue to test symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals with a known COVID-19 exposure in coordination with Johnson County Public Health.

The UI plans to offer primarily face-to-face instruction fall 2021 semester

Keeping Hawkeyes Healthy

Students have access to physical and mental health services through Student Health and University Counseling Services.

What health services are available to students on campus? The University of Iowa offers students both physical and mental health services right on campus. If students want to see a doctor, they can make an appointment with Student Health on the west side of campus. There, students can be seen by licensed doctors and nurses. If students are looking for assistance with their mental health, the university offers on-campus mental health counseling services. Visits to both Student Health and University Counseling Services are included in students’ tuition, so there are no additional costs for making an appointment.

How do I make an appointment? Student Health: The Westlawn office is open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday 9:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students can call the Student Health appointment line and schedule a time to come in. UCS: UCS has several locations across campus. Students can see counselors at the University Capitol Center, Westlawn, Catlett Hall, the Dental Sciences Building, the Boyd Law Building, the Pappajohn Business Building, and the Jacobson Football Operations Building. Counselors are available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students can call the office to schedule an initial consultation. After the consultation appointment, students can make a plan with a UCS counselor on which of the university’s mental health services is right for them.

What to know about University Counseling Services

What is UIHC?

UIHC stands for University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. UIHC is separate from Student Health, so visits to UIHC are not covered by tuition. Beyond health services, the hospital and clinics associated with the University of Iowa are excellent educational resources, and many students will either work or volunteer with UIHC during their time at Iowa.

Being a college student can be stressful and mentally draining at times, but UCS is a great resource you can use to address these issues. Q: What types of services does University Counseling Services provide? A: UCS provides a wide range of services including consultations, individual therapy, group therapy, and relationship therapy. UCS is also a great resource for getting general information about undergoing counseling and therapy as a student. Most services provided by UCS, including individual counseling, are free of charge for students. Q: I want to start talking to someone and/or attending therapy on a regular basis. What can I do to initiate this process? A: Call University Counseling Services to schedule a consultation with a UCS staff member. During the consultation, this staff member will help you determine the best path forward for addressing your needs. Some students may receive different modes of therapy or be referred to outside providers depending on their individual needs. Q: Should I go to University Counseling Services or an outside provider if I want to start talking to someone or attending

therapy sessions? A: The decision is up to you, but UCS is a great place to start. If the therapy programs offered by UCS aren’t what you need, UCS staff can refer you to providers in the area that work best with your specific insurance plan, clinical needs, and even personality. Q: What if I want to talk to somebody about an issue, but don’t want to attend regular sessions? A: University Counseling Services offers QuickAccess appointments, which is a one-time 60-minute appointment with a counselor. You can schedule these appointments anytime from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. Q: What if I can’t wait until a scheduled appointment to speak to somebody about an urgent issue? A: Call University Counseling services to schedule a same-day appointment. These appointments are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis starting at 8 a.m. on weekdays. Depending on your needs, UCS may schedule a consultation.

People take advantage of the warm weather to run through the fountain at the Ped Mall on May 2.

Iowa City’s scenic outdoor mall provides boundless options for shopping, dining, and an overall fun place for students to visit. An iconic part of Iowa City and an outdoor haven for students and residents alike, the Pedestrian Mall is at the heart of downtown life and culture. More commonly referred to as the Ped Mall, the outdoor plaza was constructed in the 1970s as part of a government-sponsored urban renewal program. The space features a multitude of shopping options, restaurants, bars, live music options, public art, and even a children’s playground. The Ped Mall is located across from the Old Capitol Mall, stretching from Clinton Street to Linn Street and sandwiched from the north and south between Washington Street and Burlington Street. The traffic-free shopping and restaurant hub was also renovated in 2019, featuring updated infrastructure in addition to the already-existing clusters of plants, trees, and

benches for visitors to relax on within the open space. Live music can often be heard in the Ped Mall from street musicians and local performers, adding to the scenic space’s inviting ambience. Stores and boutiques like Textiles, Pitaya, or Ten Thousand Villages make great shopping options, and student-oriented cinema FilmScene provides a fantastic food and entertainment choice. Food-serving businesses in particular make great use of the spacious area, having set up additional outdoor spaces to make dining safer during COVID-19. Venues such as Aspen Leaf Frozen Yogurt, Donnelly’s Pub, and Brothers Bar and Grill are among the two dozen restaurants and eateries that occupy the Ped Mall. When in Iowa City, the Ped Mall is a must-visit for any shopping or dining needs.

Safety, success, and stability: student resources for substance use concerns

Finding a home away from

Two student organizations on campus offer spaces for students looking to reduce their alcohol and drug use and focus on success. The University of Iowa is dedicated to improving students’ interactions with alcohol by implementing procedures from a research-based Alcohol Harm Reduction Plan and providing access to confidential and group resources to discuss substance use and find safe spaces for alternate social activities.

Success, Not Excess Students considering making a change in their alcohol and drug consumption can find support at Success, Not Excess meetings. Success, Not Excess is a group offering students a space to discuss alcohol and drug consumption concerns. The group focuses on goals relating to success in academics, mental and physical health, and relationships through alcohol and drug abstinence and reduction.

Success, Not Excess is not a treatment group, and there are no attendance requirements. Students might benefit from attending the group if their alcohol and drug use: • Interferes with academic and work performance • Interferes with relationships • Increases due to boredom, stress, or to fit in with peers • Causes blacking out and memory loss • Leads to feelings of regret about actions while under the influence To ensure confidentiality, students are instructed to change their zoom name to show only their first name and pronouns. Group facilitators will ask each member to privately send them their first and last name, current address, and emergency contact's phone number.

During group meetings, students should expect to:

Strength in Numbers

• Learn alternative paths to have fun, socialize, and cope with stress outside of substance use. • Identify problems created by using and establish skills to avoid/prevent those problems. • Explore connections between our emotional experiences and our substance use. • Support each other as we work toward reducing harmful outcomes of excessive alcohol and other drug use and celebrate the successes that follow making changes.

Strength in Numbers is a UI organization offering alternative social activities for students who do not incorporate alcohol or drugs. The organization does not look to discourage alcohol and drug use; its main focus is to provide fun social gatherings for students to connect. Strength in Numbers is a safe and inclusive space for students who have been impacted by substance abuse or are in recovery. Events include socials and community service opportunities.

International students at the UI have a pool of resources available that make navigating the University of Iowa and Iowa City life manageable. International students at the University of Iowa can access resources across the university to help them adjust and thrive to life at the UI and in Iowa City, and connect them with a network of support.

University of Iowa offers military opportunities through ROTC Hawkeyes interested in a military future can explore the options offered by the UI’s ROTC programs. For University of Iowa students who are looking to get involved on campus and become active within the military, the UI offers two branches of ROTC programs, giving students the opportunity to train for either the Army or the Air Force branches.

UI’s Air Force ROTC Branch Joining Air Force ROTC at the University of Iowa allows students to partake in an enjoyable, typical college life while also offering the opportunity to be part of a supportive community full of fellow Hawkeyes looking to get the most out of their college experience. To be eligible to participate in the universi-

ty’s Air Force ROTC branch, students must maintain at least a 2.50 GPA in addition to maintaining adequate health and fitness that will allow them to efficiently pass the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test. Another requirement students have to complete to be involved with this branch is to take aerospace studies courses, which will allow them to meet their respective graduation requirements. Upon graduating, Air Force ROTC students are commissioned as second lieutenants and advance into a field with more than 140 prospective options.

UI’s Army ROTC Branch By being involved in

Ayrton Breckenridge/The Daily Iowan University of Iowa ROTC offices in the South Quadrangle as seen on May 4. Army ROTC, UI students are able to learn leadership and management skills needed to become a future U.S. Army Officer or to learn valuable skills for other career paths they may choose. Enrolling in ROTC does not automatically sign students up to join the Army or put this obligation on them. Rather, students will take an ROTC class that is considered a college elective for which they receive credit for.

Requirements to join the university’s Army ROTC program include being enrolled as a full time UI student, being a U.S. citizen, and maintaining at least a 2.50 GPA. Army ROTC graduates are commissioned as U.S. Army Second Lieutenants, then receive specialized training in one of the 17 different Army branches. These graduates will have various opportunities for advanced leadership positions and post-graduate education.

Getting involved with Greek Life at the UI There are dozens of options for getting involved in fraternities and sororities on campus, and more than 3,600 students are currently members of a fraternity or sorority. Greek life has been a part of the University of Iowa and the Iowa City community since 1866. All of the fraternities and sororities on campus operate under the same principles, which are to give students the opportunity to belong, serve, lead, thrive, and succeed. There are 45 chapters on campus, all governed by one of four councils: the Interfraternity Council, the Multicultural Greek Council, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, or Panhellenic Council. On campus currently, there are 17 organizations part of the Interfraternity Council, five organizations part of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, nine organizations part of the Multicultural Greek Council, and 14 part of the Pan-Hellenic Council. There are more than 3,600 students who are currently members of fraternities and sororities, around 15 percent of the student body.

Each chapter has its own unique recruitment and membership process. In order to begin the process of joining Greek life, students first have to complete the pre-joining education course, as well as an online module that focuses on general fraternity and sorority life. All organizations within each of the four councils have their own unique financial responsibilities, which can be found on the Fraternity and Sorority Life website. Report cards on all of the Greek organizations on campus can also be found on the Fraternity and Sorority Life website. These report cards show the GPAs of the organizations, as well as awards won by the organizations, and monthly education that is required to be a member of that organization.

Iowa is home to the first caucuses in the presidential-election season, and that means presidential candidates and potential candidates flood the state in hopes of getting to know Iowans. University of Iowa students essentially pave the way for these candidates and their futures once they reach Iowa City. Whatever way you choose to make your voice heard, the UI has a number of outlets and student organizations to help you do so.

COLLEGE REPUBLICANS UNIVERSITY DEMOCRATS Students interested in electing and showing support for Democratic candidates can find each other within the University Democrats. While extremely active during caucuses and election season, this partisan group on campus works year-round to shape the Democratic party.

The UI has nine residence halls on two sides of campus for new students to choose from. Residence Halls offer Living Learning Communities where students can live with others with similar interests.

With ten different residence halls offered on campus, first-year students and those returning after their freshman year can choose to live on campus in the following dorms the University of Iowa has to offer.

EAST-SIDE RESIDENCE HALLS: Burge Catlett Daum (Honors dorm) Currier Stanley Mayflower WEST-SIDE RESIDENCE HALLS: Hillcrest Peterson Slater Rienow While certain residence halls offered on campus stand out with their own special perks, you will find a great home choosing from any of the nine dorms offered.

the Off-campus living: Learn right tips and when Iowa City tricks searching for apartments in apartments Iowa City. Do most students live in apartments during their first year at Iowa? The University of Iowa does not require students to live in the residence halls during their first year. That being said, over 90 percent of first-year students choose to live in the residence halls. It is much more common for students to move into apartments during their second, third, or fourth year at Iowa.

How do I find an apartment? There are many services available to help you find an apartment in Iowa City. If you’re looking for a place to start looking, the University has an “off-campus living” page on their website where you can find available rentals near campus. Talking to upperclassmen who have lived in apartments is a great way to get recommendations for the best spots on campus.

How do I set up an apartment tour? Most rentals should have a contact email or phone number that you can reach out to. It’s a good idea to tour apartments before you sign the lease! Many students sign leases in the fall or early winter, so make sure to start looking early!

New eras begin for Hawkeye hoops Coach Fran McCaffery’s starting lineup will look a lot different in 2021-22 as many of the centerpieces of his 2020-21 squad departed during the offseason.

After a breakout 2020-21 season, now-sophomore Caitlin Clark and the Iowa women’s basketball team aim to carry last year’s momentum in 2021-22.

Shivansh Ahuja/The Daily Iowan Iowa center Luka Garza dribbles during a men's basketball game between Iowa and Minnesota at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Jan. 10. The Hawkeyes defeated the Golden Gophers, 86-71. One of the best seasons in the history of the Iowa men’s basketball program came to an abrupt end in 2021. After staying in the Associated Press top 10 for nearly the entire season, finishing third in a competitive Big Ten Conference, and earning a two-seed in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, the Hawkeyes were upset in the Round of 32 by the Oregon Ducks. Iowa entered the 2020-21 season with as much hype around it as the program had seen in decades, which was made clear by the team’s No. 5 preseason ranking. Heading into the 2021-22 season, expectations will be very different. Coach Fran McCaffery’s squad lost several key contributors from last season. Luka Garza, the consensus national player of the year and the Iowa men’s basketball program’s all-time

leading scorer, is on to a professional career. Second-team All-Big Ten player Joe Wieskamp declared for the NBA Draft. Reserve forward Jack Nunge and starting guard CJ Fredrick both entered the transfer portal in the offseason. So, next season’s Iowa team will look very different. Joe Toussaint, Ahron Ulis, Tony Perkins, and sixth-year senior Jordan Bohannon will likely see the majority of the minutes in Iowa’s backcourt next season. In the frontcourt, Keegan Murray will lead the Hawkeyes after a breakout freshman season. He will be joined by Patrick and Connor McCaffery, Kris Murray, and Josh Ogundele. Fran McCaffery signed a four-year contract extension in March to remain with the Hawkeyes through the 2027-28 season.

Shivansh Ahuja/The Daily Iowan Iowa guard Caitlin Clark dribbles during a women's basketball game between Iowa and Minnesota at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Jan. 6. The Hawkeyes defeated the Golden Gophers, 92-79. Iowa women’s basketball defied the odds in 2020-21, playing its way from preseason unraked to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. In 2021-22, forward McKenna Warnock, center Monika Czinano, and guards Caitlin Clark, Gabbie Marshall, and Kate Martin are all expected to reprise their starting roles in Hawkeye head coach Lisa Bluder’s lineup. Czinano is the only senior in Iowa’s starting lineup. Sophomore Caitlin Clark will return to the hardwood in 2021-22 as the reigning Big Ten Freshman of Year and Dawn Staley Award-winner. Last season, Clark led the nation in scoring — dropping more than 26 points per game. Clark’s performance in 2020-21 helped her become the first freshman in Iowa women’s basketball history to earn All-America honors.

Czinano also made her presence felt nationally, as she led the country in field goal percentage — making 66.8 percent of her attempts from the floor in 2020-21. The Hawkeyes finished the 2021 Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament in runner-up fashion, falling to Maryland in the conference title game, 104-84. Iowa entered the league tournament as the No. 6 overall seed. The Hawkeyes’ performance in the conference tournament earned them a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament. UConn dealt Iowa a season-ending loss, 92-72, in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. Only three players on Iowa’s 2020-21 roster won’t be returning in 2021-22: Zion Sanders, Alexis Sevillian and Megan Meyer.

Carver-Hawkeye Arena The 2020-21 athletic season was a good one for teams that competed inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The top-ranked Hawkeye wrestling team won both of its home duals in 2021 on its way to winning its first national championship since 2010. The Iowa men’s basketball team went 13-2 on its home floor, while the women’s basketball team went 10-3. And the Iowa

women’s gymnastics team went 4-0 at home last season, eventually clinching the Big Ten regular season title. Just like at Kinnick Stadium, fans were not permitted to attend events at Carver-Hawkeye Arena during the 2020-21 season because of precautions taken amid the pandemic. The plan for 2021-22 is to allow fans back into the arena.

Carver-Hawkeye Arena is named after Roy Carver, a longtime supporter of the University of Iowa. The arena is one of the 25 largest university-owned facilities in the nation and opened in January of 1983. The arena seats 15,500 fans. Also typically the site for UI graduation ceremonies, Carver-Hawkeye Arena is an integral part of life on campus.

Football looks to continue where it left off The Iowa football team finished the 2020 season on a six-game winning streak and will look to replicate that success in 2021.

The 2020 Iowa football season was one unlike any other. At first, a fall season appeared unlikely to happen. The Big Ten postponed all fall sports, including football, to the spring in August of 2020. But a month later, the conference reversed its decision and scheduled an eight-game, conference-only regular season that went into December. The Hawkeyes opened the 2020 season 0-2 and the long wait to see the team on the field seemed like it wasn’t going to be worth it. At least initially. Iowa responded by closing the season on a six-game winning streak to finish the year 6-2. That stretch included trophy game victories over rivals Minnesota, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. Iowa’s final two games of the season were called off because of positive COVID-19 cases within its opponents’ programs. Iowa was supposed to play Michigan in the Big Ten’s “Champions Week” the same week as the conference championship game, but the game was canceled five days before it was scheduled to be played. The team’s Music City Bowl matchup with Missouri was also canceled after the Tigers could not compete because of positive COVID-19 tests. Iowa will be led in 2021 once again by head coach Kirk Ferentz. Ferentz just completed his 22nd year as

Iowa’s coach. He is the program’s all-time leader in coaching victories (168). Last season was the eighth in a row in which the Hawkeyes qualified for a bowl game. To make a ninth-straight trip to bowl season, Iowa will have to overcome the losses of several key contributors from last season’s team. Iowa lost 10 starters from its 2020 team, including consensus All-American defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon, first-team All-Big Ten offensive tackle Alaric Jackson, and explosive wide receiver/kickoff returner Ihmir Smith-Marsette. But the Hawkeyes are returning 16 starters. That includes quarterback Spencer Petras, who started all eight games for Iowa last year in his first season in command of the team’s offense. Iowa held a quarterback competition in the offseason, but Petras is the favorite to start once again for Iowa. Around Petras on offense will be first-team All-Big Ten running back Tyler Goodson, Rimington Trophy finalist Tyler Linderbaum, and tight end Sam LaPorta, who led the team in receptions last year as a sophomore. In 2020-21, Hawkeye defensive coordinator Phil Parker’s unit was one of the best in the country, allowing just 16 points per game. This season, Iowa returns all five of its starters in the secondary and has

experience at the middle and weak-side linebacker positions with Seth Benson and Jack Campbell. The defensive line will be the position group to watch. Second-team All-Big Ten defensive end Zach VanValkenburg is the team’s only returning starter up front for the Hawkeye defense. On special teams, kicker Caleb Shudak replaces All-American Keith Ducan, while All-Big Ten performer Tory Taylor retains his spot at punter. The Hawkeyes are scheduled to play 12 games over the course of the 2021 regular season. Iowa will host the following teams at Kinnick Stadium: Indiana, Kent State, Colorado State, Penn State (ANF Black and Gold Spirit Game), Purdue (Homecoming), Minnesota, and Illinois (Senior Day). Iowa will also play the following teams on the road: Iowa State, Maryland, Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Nebraska.

Kinnick Stadium The Iowa football team hosted four games inside Kinnick Stadium in 2020. But other than a handful of family members of players on the team, the 69,250-seat stadium sat empty on game days to comply with capacity restrictions brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, however, fans will be back in the stands on Saturdays to cheer for the Hawkeyes, replacing the cardboard cutouts that filled seats in their absence. As fans return, they will experience some of the traditions that make up a college football-filled afternoon in Iowa City. The Hawkeyes will swarm onto the field with AC/DC’s “Back and Black” and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” roaring over the speakers. A

portion of Nile Kinnick’s Heisman Trophy acceptance speech will play on the video boards right before kickoff. And at the end of the first quarter, everyone in the stadium will wave at the onlooking children’s hospital. Iowa is 298-188-15 (.610) all time at Kinnick Stadium. Last season, the Hawkeyes went 3-1 in their home stadium last season, winning games against Michigan State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, while dropping a contest against Northwestern. Kinnick Stadium is located at the intersection of Hawkins Dr. and Melrose Ave. in Iowa City, near Duane Banks Field and the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.

Familiar faces lead Iowa field hockey Hannah Kinson/The Daily Iowan Iowa forward Leah Zellner brings the ball into play during the fourth quarter of the Big Ten field hockey tournament semifinals against No. 1 Michigan on April 22 at Grant Field. After a strong 2019-20 campaign, Iowa field hockey found success again in 2020-21. The Hawkeyes finished the 2020-21 regular season 10-4 and qualified for the NCAA Division I Women’s Field Hockey Championships. The 2020-21 NCAA tournament field featured just 12 teams compared to its usual 16 because of COVID-19. Nine of the 12 available spots were filled by conference champions. The Hawkeyes did not win the 2021 Big Ten Field Hockey Championships. So, Iowa earned one of 2020-21 NCAA tourna-

ment’s three available at-large bids. Before the regular season concluded, Hawkeye junior Anthe Nijziel won both the Big Ten Player and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year awards. Nijziel is the first Hawkeye to be named Big Ten Player of the Year since Kristy Gleason did so almost 20 years ago. Hawkeye head coach Lisa Cellucci shared the 2020-21 Big Ten Coach of the Year award with Rutgers’ Meredith Civico. Cellucci has now won back-to-back Big Ten Coach of the Year awards. While both Nijziel and Cellucci will be back in 2021-22,

forward Maddy Murphy, midfielders Ellie Holley and Nikki Freeman, and goalkeeper Grace McGuire likely will not be. Murphy, Holley, Freeman, and McGuire are eligible to return in 2021-22 because the NCAA granted all its athletes an additional year of eligibility during the 2020 season. Murphy, Holley, Freeman, and McGuire were, however, all seniors last year. Among Iowa’s key returning athletes are junior midfielder Esme Gibson, sophomores Alex Wesneski and Harper Dunne, and the Stribos sisters — Lokke and Sofie.

Hawkeyes make history Last season, Iowa soccer won its first-ever Big Ten title. The Hawkeyes also picked up their first-ever NCAA tournament win. The Hawkeyes won the 2021 Big Ten Women’s Soccer Championships without much veteran leadership on their roster. Of the 28 players on head coach Dave DiIanni’s team, 18 were underclassmen in 2020-21. Iowa finished the regular season 2-8-1. The Hawkeyes didn’t score a single goal in their first six games. In nine regular season games, Iowa scored three goals. The Hawkeyes put the ball in the back of the net six times in just four Big Ten tournament games. Iowa defeated Minnesota, Penn State, Illinois, and Wisconsin on its way to a Big Ten title. During the regular season, the Hawkeyes were defeated

by all four of the opponents they beat in the Big Ten tournament. Iowa also qualified for NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championships via its Big Ten title. The Hawkeyes faced Campbell in their first NCAA tournament match of 2020-21. Iowa downed Campbell, 1-0. Prior to their win over the Camels, the Hawkeyes had never won an NCAA tournament game. Twenty-seven of the 28 Hawkeyes on DiIanni’s 2020-21 roster are returning for the 2021-22 season. Among those coming back in 2021-22 is sophomore goalkeeper Macy Enneking. The

Hawkeye runners race toward normalcy Cross Country

After an unusual 2020-21 season, Iowa cross country will run a more traditional schedule in 2021-22.

Track

The Hawkeyes burst out of the gate in 2021 after the 2020 outdoor season was canceled because of COVID-19.

After the 2020 NCAA outdoor track and field season was postponed because of COVID-19, Iowa track and field came charging out of the gate in 2021. In February, Iowa men’s track field claimed its first outright Big Ten Indoor Track and Field Championship since 1929. The Hawkeyes scored a UI record 119 points on their way to the title. The Hawkeyes’ conference championship helped Director of Iowa Track and Field Joey Woody claim the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s Midwest Region Men’s Indoor Track and Field Coach of the Year award last season. During the outdoor season, two Iowa hurdlers competed at the 2021 Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. Junior Jamal Britt and senior Jaylan McConico both received invitations to the event from USA Track and Field. Britt and McConico competed in the 110-meter hurdles, finishing third and fifth, respectively.

The 2020-21 cross country season at the University of Iowa was short-lived because of COVID-19. On Aug. 11, 2020, the Big Ten Conference announced that all its fall sports would be postponed to the spring — including cross country. As a result, both Iowa men’s and women’s cross country did not compete until Jan. 30, 2021. The Jan. 30 meet the Hawkeyes participated in was both their first and last competition of the year. Held Shelbyville, Indiana, the 2020-21 Big Ten Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Championships saw Hawkeye senior Gabby Skopec produce a top-50 finish in the women’s 6,000-meter and Iowa freshman Aidan King post a top-44 finish in the men’s 8,00-meter. In 2021, NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Cross Country meets across the nation will return to their traditional fall dates.

Jenna Galligan/The Daily Iowan Iowa’s Tyler Olson, Jamal Britt, Julien Gillum, and Wayne Lawrence Jr. jog down the track during 4x400m relay premier introductions during the second day of the Larry Wieczorek Invitational on Jan. 23 at the University of Iowa Recreation Building. The Iowa ‘A’ team won the relay with a time of 3:09.58. Due to coronavirus restrictions, the Hawkeyes could only host Big Ten teams. Iowa men took first, scoring 189, and women finished third with 104 among Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Illinois.

Wrestling ready to repeat This season, Iowa wrestling will be competing for its second-straight national championship. Last season, Iowa wrestling brought a national title back to Iowa City for the first time since 2010. The Hawkeyes won the 2021 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in blowout fashion — finishing the event 15.5 points clear of all challengers. Senior 125-pounder Spencer Lee was Iowa’s only individual NCAA champion last season. The Murrysville, Pennsylvania, native outscored his NCAA tournament opponents, 59-8. Lee wrestled the entire NCAA tournament on a torn ACL in one of his knees. Senior 174-pounder Michael Kemerer

and 141-pound Jaydin Eierman both produced runner-up finishes at the 2021 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in St. Louis, Missouri. In total, seven Hawkeyes earned All-America honors last season: Lee, senior Austin DeSanto, Eierman, senior Kaleb Young, Kemerer, senior Jacob Warner, and junior Tony Cassioppi. Iowa also won its second-straight Big Ten title in 2021, crowning four individual conference champions in the process. Last season, Lee won both the Dan Hodge Trophy and the Big Ten Wrestler of the Year award for the second-straight

time. Hawkeye head coach Tom Brands was also dubbed coach of the year by Intermat, the NWCA, and the Big Ten. Iowa wrestling now has 37 Big Ten titles and 24 national championships to its name. All 10 wrestlers that cracked Brands’ starting lineup in 2020-21 are returning for the 2021-22 season. This season, seniors like Lee, DeSanto, Eierman, Young, Alex Marinelli, and Kemerer will all be utilizing the free year of eligibility the NCAA gave its winter sports athletes because of COVID-19.

Swimming and diving’s tumultuous year After a tumultuous 2020-21 season, the Hawkeyes will return to the pool in 2021-22 under the direction of a new head coach. For the first time since 1916, the University of Iowa does not have a men’s swimming and diving team. The UI made the decision to cut men’s swimming and diving, along with men’s tennis and men’s gymnastics on Aug. 21, 2020, because of the financial deficit Iowa Athletics is facing because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 1934, former Iowa swim and dive coach David Armbuster and Hawkeye swimmer Jack Sieg invented and perfected the butterfly stroke in UI’s Field House pool. Like Iowa men’s swim and dive, Hawkeye women’s swim and dive was also slated for discontinuation at the end of the 2020-21 academic year. In September 2020, however, four Grace Smith/The Daily Iowan Iowa women’s swimmers — Sage Iowa’s Christina Crane, Zoe Mekus, and Lexi Horner hug after competing in the 100 yard breaststroke time trial during Ohlensehlen, Alexa Puccini, Christina the sixth session of the 2020 Big Ten Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships at the HTRC on Feb. 22.

Kaufman, and Kelsey Drake — filed a Title IX complaint against the UI, alleging that its decision to cut its women’s swim and dive program made it non-compliant with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. After a months-long legal battle, UI Athletics elected to reinstate its NCAA Division I Women’s Swimming and Diving program in perpetuity. The Hawkeye women will compete under new leadership in 2021-22. Marc Long, formerly the head coach of both Iowa men’s and women’s swim and dive, declined to return to coach the Iowa women in 2021-22. Iowa women’s swim and dive will have to rebuild its roster in 2021-22. The program housed 34 athletes in 2019-20. In 2020-21, only 24 women’s swimmers competed in Iowa’s Black and Gold.

Iowa tennis undergoes major changes At the end of the 2020-21 academic year, the Iowa men’s tennis program was discontinued. Iowa women’s tennis will, however, continue to compete in 2021-22. In 2021-22, the Iowa women’s tennis team will be the only NCAA Division I program to call the HTRC home. At the end of the 2020-21 academic year, the University of Iowa discontinued its men’s tennis program to combat financial struggles brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Last season, the Hawkeye men won just five of their 15 regular season matches, finishing eighth in the Big Ten Conference. Despite their poor record, the Iowa men still made history. Senior Kareem Allaf became Iowa’s all-time leader in combined singles and doubles wins April 4. Junior Will Davies and sophomore Oliver Okonkwo teamed up in doubles, eventually becoming the

country’s second-ranked doubles pair. Their No. 2 national ranking is good for a UI record. Conversely, the Hawkeye women found a great deal of success as a team in 2020-21, finishing the regular season with a 12-6 overall record. Sophomore Alex Noel tied the Iowa women’s tennis record for most Big Ten weekly honors in a single season with four. She also climbed to a program-best No. 13 national ranking via her 22-0 regular season record in singles. Last season, the Hawkeye women earned a No. 4 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Most of Iowa’s lineup will be returning in 2021-22, with the exception of Elise van Heuevelen Treadwell — the Iowa women’s tennis program’s third-all-time winningest player in doubles and singles combined.

Iowa gymnastics undergoes offseason changes

With Iowa men’s gymnastics now cut, Iowa women’s gymnastics will serve as the UI’s only NCAA Division I gymnastics program.

This season, Iowa gymnastics meets at Carver-Hawkeye Arena are going to look a lot different. For the first time since 1922, the University of Iowa will not field a men’s gymnastics team. To combat ongoing financial struggles brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, UI President Bruce Harreld and Iowa Athletics Director Gary Barta announced in August 2020 that four Hawkeye sports would be discontinued at the end of the 2020-21 academic year — among the sports cut was men’s gymnastics. Iowa men’s gymnastics finished the 2020-21 season 4-2. The Hawkeyes placed third at the 2021 Big Ten Championships, and fifth in the NCAA Championship qualifier. Seniors Evan Davis and Bennett Huang were both named NCAA All-Americans at the end of the 2020-21 season. With Iowa men’s gymnastics now cut, Iowa women’s gymnastics will serve as the UI’s only NCAA Division I gymnastics program. Last season, the Hawkeye women won their first-ever Big Ten regular season title. After a season-opening loss to Minnesota in January, the GymHawks rattled off 10 wins in a row, finishing the regular season 10-1. In the postseason, the Iowa women did not find as much success as they did during the regular season. In Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the GymHawks finished third in the NCAA Regional Championships. Senior Lauren Guerin, junior JerQuavia Henderson, and then-senior Clair Kaji were all named NCAA All-Americans when the 2020-21 season concluded.

The Hawkeyes defeated the Buckeyes with a score, 196.550-193.800. Killian went on to earn a score of 9.725 during the Coach of the Year award. competition period.

Volleyball plays Xtream season Last year, the Hawkeyes played their first full season at the newly-constructed Xtream Arena in Coralville.

Before their move to Coralville, the Hawkeyes competed full-time at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. Iowa went 4-16 in 2020-21. Two of the Hawkeyes’ four wins came at Xtream Arena. Iowa defeated Michigan State, Indiana, Northwestern, and Rutgers once each in 2020-21. Last season also marked the first time the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball season has ever been played in the spring. Because of COVID-19, the Big Ten Conference and NCAA postponed their fall sports seasons — with the exception of football — to the spring. So, Iowa played in a series of weekend-only, in-conference doubleheaders from January to April. When the regular season concluded, junior

outside hitter Courtney Buzzerio became the first Hawkeye to earn All-Big Ten recognition under head coach Vicki Brown. Buzzerio is the first Hawkeye to garner first-team All-Big Ten honors since 2001. Buzzerio was the only Big Ten player to register a triple-double in 2020-21, and she led the Hawkeyes in kills and service aces. Seniors Brie Orr, Griere Hughes, and Halle Johnston all opted out of the 2020-21 season because of COVID-19. The senior trio will, however, rejoin Buzzerio and company for their 2021-22 campaign. Counting Orr, Hughes, and Johnston, Iowa will return the entirety of its 2020-21 roster in 2021-22. This season will be Brown’s third as Iowa volleyball’s head coach.
