QUOTING HEAD COACH JEFF GARBUTT
“This week we head to Kansas for our first competition with our complete Big Ten roster. I am excited to give some of our first years their first taste of racing. At Iowa, we travel and race as many times a season as we can. It allows our squad the chance to learn how to travel, prepare and race at the Division I level. The weekend of racing is such a big part of our team’s development as we prepare for the Big Ten Championships this season. The staff and I look forward to seeing the continued growth of our team as we take on this amazing field. GO HAWKS!”
