Koll Named Academic All-American of the Year
Jul 01, 2009 - 2:40 PM - by Jeremy
AMES, Iowa - Iowa State standout Lisa Koll has been named the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America of the Year winner for track & field/cross country. It is the second-straight year she has been named to the Academic All-America Team and the first time she has earned the top national award for her sport. Koll was honored as the 2008 Athlete-Scholar of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.


“Lisa is just a great representative for Iowa State athletically and academically,” ISU head coach Corey Ihmels said. “Each year she comes in with high goals athletically and academically and continues to excel (at both). It’s not only a tribute to her hard work, but the academic support the university provides our student-athletes. Lisa is a great torch bearer for our school.”


The Fort Dodge, native was a 2009 All-American in the 10,000-meter run. Koll won both the 5,000-meter and the 10,000-meter races at the 2009 Big 12 Outdoor Track & Field Championships and was the meet’s Outstanding Performer of the Year. Koll’s 10,000-meter win marked her third-straight league title in the event. The five-time Big 12 champion is a four-time All-American. She is the second track & field athlete from the Big 12 to win the national award, following Janet Blomstedt of Nebraska in the league’s first season (1996-97). Overall, 17 student-athletes from the Big 12 have earned national Academic All-America of the Year honors for their sports.


In 2008, Koll was the NCAA Division I champion in the 10,000-meter run. The owner of the American Collegiate record in that race (32.11.13), she finished ninth in the 10,000-meter run at the 2009 NCAA Championship meet.
Now working toward a degree in Veterinary Medicine, Koll graduated from Iowa State with a bachelor’s degree in biology in just three years. She had a 3.98 GPA as an undergraduate.


To be eligible for Academic All-America consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director.


Since the program’s inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA, covering all NCAA championship sports.

A Brackins-Staiger Matchup In Serbia?
Jul 01, 2009 - 2:10 PM - by Jeremy
AMES, Iowa- A pair of Iowa State basketball players may have the unique opportunity to face each other in the next two weeks at the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. Craig Brackins, a junior forward from Palmdale, Calif., made the USA roster, while Lucca Staiger, a junior guard from Blaustein, Germany, will represent Germany in the competition. The tournament begins tomorrow (July 2) and will end on July 12.

“This is an incredible opportunity for both Craig and Lucca,” ISU head coach Greg McDermott said. “Anytime you have the chance to represent your country and play in an event like this with outstanding competition, it can only help them with their improvement and maturity as basketball players.”

A First-Team All-Big 12 selection in 2009, Brackins made the 12-man USA squad after going through two days of tryouts in June. Brackins’ USA team is coached by Bo Ryan and includes James Anderson of Oklahoma State. His team went 2-1 in three preparation exhibition games in Belgrade this past week.

Staiger, who averaged 8.2 points and led the Cyclones with 74 3-pointers last year, was officially chosen to the German World University Games roster yesterday. He participated on the German A2 team the last two weeks in the Basketball Nation’s Cup in Munster, Germany.

Each team will play two games in the preliminary round pool play, July 2-4. USA is in Group H with Finland and South Korea, playing Finland on July 3 and South Korea on July 4. Germany plays Latvia (July 2) and South Africa (July 4) as members of Group G.

Following preliminary round pool play, teams will be seeded for second round games based on their pool finish. A total of 24 countries have teams playing in the 2009 World University Games.

Three Cyclones Earn Academic All-America Honors
Jul 01, 2009 - 9:30 AM - by Jeremy
AMES, Iowa- A trio of Iowa State women’s golfers earned National Golf Coaches Association (NGCA) All-America Scholar honors for the 2008-09 season. Laurence Herman, a native of Kortrijk, Belgium, Rachel Reed, a native of Peoria, Ill., and Kristin Paulson, a native of Ottumwa, Iowa, were named to the Division I team.

Members of the All-American Scholar team must have a minimum of a 3.50 cumulative GPA and have competed in at least 50 percent of the college’s regularly scheduled competitive rounds.

Herman, who earned the honor for the second consecutive season, was third on the team in stroke average at 78.85. She led all Cyclones at the 2009 Big 12 Championships with a 14th-place finish. Reed was one of four Cyclones to compete in all 33 rounds last season, averaging 79.52 strokes per round. Paulson had an outstanding rookie season for ISU, playing in all 33 rounds and compiling a 79.42 stroke average. Paulson tied the school mark for low 18-hole round after firing a 69 in the final round of the Mountain View Collegiate.

Summer Busy For Arnaud
Jun 29, 2009 - 4:20 PM - by Jeremy
AMES, Iowa – There is no offseason for Austen Arnaud. Summers for the Iowa State signal caller are booked from morning to evening as the Ames native balances school, work and preparation for the upcoming football season.

Not exactly a summer vacation.

“I work out in the morning, work and then do homework,” Arnaud said. “That’s my day.”

Any extra time that can be found during the day is for studying film.

Working out in Ames does have its benefits, as Arnaud and the rest of his teammates work to learn a new offensive system. The drill is nothing new for Arnaud, who will be playing under his third head coach and offensive coordinator of his college career.

Arnaud redshirted his first season at Iowa State, learning Dan McCarney’s offense. After that came two years with Gene Chizik, where Arnaud grew from backup to Bret Meyer into the author of one of the best single-seasons in school history.

Arnaud threw for 2,792 yards as a sophomore in 2008, the third-highest total by an ISU quarterback in a single season. His 247 completions set a school record. Arnaud also set single game marks with 440 passing yards against Kansas State and tied Seneca Wallace’s school record of 493 yards of total offense in that same contest.

Now Arnaud is faced with another offensive scheme, this one under head coach Paul Rhoads and offensive coordinator Tom Herman.

“Learning a variety of systems is not something you want to do, but I’ve kind of grown accustomed to it,” Arnaud said. “I can adapt and am handling it pretty well. This is the right system for this team and for the Big 12 because you really have to score points to win.”

Arnaud and his receivers and tight ends have been working out together four times a week, throwing passes and trying to get accustomed to the new offense. Now the veteran players have been joined by the team’s newcomers, allowing all parts of the offense to work together.

“The best part of having the young guys here is that the best way to learn something is by doing it,” Arnaud said. “Right now we are just all working together to learn the system.”

While the workouts are serious, Arnaud and backup quarterback Jerome Tiller line up at receiver from time to time – just to keep things light.

That alignment during workouts, however, is strictly for fun.

“I’m not a burner,” Arnaud said. “I have no reason at all to be out there.”

Jackson on Recruiting Trail
Jun 29, 2009 - 11:20 AM - by Jeremy
AMES, Iowa – Iowa State head wrestling coach Kevin Jackson is hitting the road. Jackson and his staff have spent June analyzing potential future Cyclones. Jackson hits the recruiting trail Wednesday.

“(Iowa State assistant coach Chris Bono) and I will be leaving Wednesday and start to see recruits in their homes,” Jackson said. “Chris and I know what kind of guys we are looking to bring to Iowa State.”

Jackson says that assistant coach Yero Washington will head out on the road after Jackson and Bono return to Ames.

In the interim, Jackson says the current Cyclone wrestlers are making great summer progress.

“Our guys have been working hard through the Iowa State wrestling camps,” Jackson said. “I have been impressed with their work ethic.”

Iowa State’s designation by USA Wrestling as a regional training site has also spurred the Cyclone program.

“Our wrestlers are ahead of schedule,” Jackson said.

The new Iowa State coach has also implemented a new weight training program.

“Our guys are really going to benefit from their hard work,” Jackson said. “Every wrestler currently in town has already started their strength and conditioning programs.”
