It is with great excitement to announce that Lindsay Alexander has been hired as the new Director of Athletic Performance. Lindsay has been the Associate Strength and Conditioning Coach and Special Assistant to the SWA for Iowa Athletics since 2018 and had over 15 years of related strength and conditioning experience. We hope everyone has a great holiday season and can spend valuable time with friends and family. Go Hawks!

After spending over 27 years at the University of Iowa, Director Bill Maxwell will be stepping down. We can't thank Coach Maxwell enough for his dedication to Iowa athletics and the investments he has made in his sports performance staff. Maxwell will be missed but wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. Go Hawks!

Track star and 3-time All-American, Kalen Walker, was able to show off his speed at halftime of the Iowa football game as they took on Northwestern. Walker ran a blazing 4.15-seconds in the 40-yard dash in front of a packed Kinnick Stadium. Coach Chase Madison was on-field with Walker and ran the timing gates for the event. Go Hawks!

September was a productive month for our interns as they gained knowledge through presentations by the staff. They also worked through exercise progressions. Best of luck to all fall sports that have begun competing. Go Hawks!

After a productive summer of training, classes have begun and the staff is excited to get everyone back on campus. We would like to welcome Judd Beltran-Semana and Samantha Stevens to the internship program. We are also thankful to have Drew Snyder and Alyssa Mizzi back. Go Hawks!

The Carver-Hawkeye weight room received a major upgrade this month with the install of pneumatic racks from Keiser. The strength staff is excited to implement the technology associated with the equipment. Interns continue to develop their coaching abilities while leading exercise progressions. Go Hawks!

Summer training has begun and the staff is excited to hit the ground running. We would like to welcome our summer interns: Chase Hunter, Maxwell McQuistion, Nolan Ries, and Drew Snyder. We appreciate their help and look forward to seeing their professional development over the summer. Go Hawks!

As the academic school year comes to a close, we would like to thank all of the student-athletes for the countless hours of hard work they have put in. We are grateful to work with highly motivated and driven young adults. Congratulations to the Men's and Women's Wresting teams on moving into their new training facility. The Goschke Family Wrestling Training Facility is a 40,000 sq ft space with world class amenities and is attached to Carver-Hawkeye Arena through and underground tunnel. Go Hawks!

April was a productive month for the Olympic Strength Staff. We were fortunate enough to have Landon Evans present on the sports science behind pneumatic training technology. We also hosted coaches from Dowling High School that were interested in learning more about Keiser modalities. Best of luck to student-athletes as they finish the semester strong. Go Hawks!

Congratulations to all of our winter sports on your amazing seasons and achievements. March has been filled with professional development, education, and new training equipment. Coach Madison was responsible for coordinating a "Fitness and Wellness Career Trek" for spring undergrad students. Some of the presentation topics included our vision and mission statements, what we do to serve our student athletes, our backgrounds as strength and conditioning coaches, the internship program and what we look for in possible candidates. It was a great opportunity for the students to gain insight into our department.
