Greetings and thank you for your interest in The University of Iowa Track and Field/ Cross Country Programs. Please review the scholarship and walk-on standards found on the page below before moving forward. If you have met the standards please complete a RECRUIT QUESTIONNAIRE and a member of the coaching staff will be in contact with you.

Keep in mind that due to NCAA legislation, we are not permitted to call prospective student athletes before July 1st of their senior year. With the volume of emails received daily it can take some time to respond to all requests for additional information. Therefore, if you have met the standards below and I have not gotten back to you in timely manner, feel free to contact me directly.

Thank you and Go Hawks!
