Terry BrandsAssociate Head CoachUniversity of Iowa, 1992

Two-time World Champion and 2000 Olym-pic bronze medalist Terry Brands is in his 20th season on the University of Iowa staff. Brands was promoted to associate head coach in 2011 after serving two stints (2008-10 and 1992-2000) as an assistant coach at Iowa.

During the last nine seasons, Brands has helped Iowa to two NCAA and three Big Ten team titles, crowning seven NCAA champions, 51 All-Ameri-cans, 13 Big Ten champions and 65 academic All-Big Ten honorees. Iowa owns a 147-13-1 dual record since Brands returned to the staff in 2008. Since returning to campus, Iowa set school records for longest dual un-beaten (84) and winning streaks (69), longest dual road unbeaten (51) and winning streaks (44), most Carver-Hawkeye Arena victories (11) and most dual shutouts (8). Iowa also made another entry in the record books, set-ting the national collegiate dual meet attendance record of 42,287 when it defeated top-ranked Oklahoma State on Nov. 14, 2015, at Kinnick Stadium in the Grapple on the Gridiron. Brands rejoined the Hawkeye staff in 2008 after a three-year stint (2005-08) as USA Wrestling’s National Freestyle Resident Coach in Colorado Springs, Colorado. During his tenure, Brands worked with 2008 U.S. Olympic freestyle gold medalist Henry Cejudo and 2006 World champion Bill Zadick. He has coached the Hawkeye Wrestling Club since returning to campus, and in 2014 he was named USA Wrestling’s Terry McCann Freestyle Coach of the Year. His previous collegiate coaching experience includes three years as head coach at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga (2002-05), and as an as-sistant coach at Montana State-Northern (2001-02), the University of Ne-braska (2000-01), and the University of Iowa (1992-2000). At Chattanooga, Brands led the Mocs to the 2005 Southern Conference title, crowning three conference champions and two All-Americans. At Iowa, he helped the Hawk-eyes win seven NCAA and Big Ten titles, crowning 19 NCAA and 26 Big Ten champions. Iowa’s dual record of 115-12-1 during his tenure included three undefeated seasons (14-0 in 1995, 17-0 in 1996 and 18-0 in 2000). Brands was one of the nation’s greatest freestyle wrestlers, winning World titles in 1993 in Toronto, Canada, and in 1995 in Atlanta, Georgia, at 125.5 pounds (57 kg). He won World Team titles as a member of the 1993 and 1995 U.S. World Teams. In 1993, he won a world title the same year his brother, Tom, was a World champion at 136.5 pounds (62 kg). They became the fi rst U.S. brothers to win World Titles during the same year. Terry was named 1993 USA Wrestling Athlete of the Year, 1993 John Smith Freestyle Wrestler of the Year and 1993 Amateur Wrestling News Man of the Year.

IOWA WRESTLING2017-18 MEDIA GUIDE

HAWKEYE TRADITIONS

School Fight SongThe Iowa Fight Song was written in 1950 by Mason City, Iowa, native Meredith Willson. Best known as the creator of Broadway’s “The Music Man,” Willson was awarded a 1963 University of Iowa Alumni Association Distinguished Service Award for “setting the spirit of Iowa to music.” The lively cheer is sung hundreds of times during Iowa athletics events the year around.

The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWALet every loyal Iowan sing;

The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWAUntil the walls and rafters ring (Go Hawks!)Come on and cheer, cheer, cheer for IOWA

Come on and cheer until you hear the fi nal gun.The word is Fight, Fight, Fight for IOWA

Until the game is won.

The Hawkeye NicknameThe University of Iowa borrowed its athletic nickname from the state of Iowa many years ago. The name Hawkeye was originally the name of the hero in the fi ctional novel, The Last of the Mohicans, written by James Fenimore Cooper. Cooper had the Delaware Indians bestow the name on a white scout who lived with them. In 1838, 12 years after the book was published, people in the territory of Iowa acquired the nickname, chiefl y through the efforts of Judge David Rorer of Burlington and James Edwards of Fort Madison. Edwards, editor of the Fort Madison Patriot, moved his paper to Burlington in 1843 and renamed it the Burlington Hawkeye. The two men continued their campaign to popularize the name, and territorial offi cials eventually gave it their formal approval.

Herky The HawkeyeThe Hawkeye nickname gained a tangible symbol in 1948 when a cartoon character, later to be named Herky the Hawkeye was hatched. The creator was Richard Spencer III, instructor of journalism at Iowa. The impish Hawk was an immediate hit and acquired a name through a statewide contest staged by the athletic department. John Franklin, a Belle Plaine alumnus, was the man who suggested Herky. Since his birth more than 65 years ago, Herky has symbolized Iowa athletics and epitomized university life. He even donned a military uniform during the Korean War and became the insig-nia of the 124th Fighter Squadron. During the mid-1950s, Herky came to life at a football game as the Iowa mascot. Since that time, Herky has been a familiar fi gure at Iowa athletics events.

School ColorsFor 40 years Iowa was without school colors, but in 1887 a group of 50 seniors met on the steps of the Old Capitol to decide what are now the school offi cial colors. They chose gold, the color of Iowa’s vast corn fi elds and black, the color of the rich soil.

IOWA WRESTLING2017-18 MEDIA GUIDE

NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP SEASONS

1975Iowa posted an undefeated dual season (17-0-1), set a school mark for wins and won its fi rst NCAA title. The team had a school-record fi ve All-Americans, na-tional champs in Chuck Yagla and Dan Holm, and four dual shutouts.

1976Iowa won its second straight NCAA title and captured 14 of 15 duals. A school-record three Hawkeyes (Brad Smith, Chuck Yagla and Chris Campbell) won NCAA titles. Yagla won his second straight title and was the meet’s Outstanding Wrestler. Iowa won the title by al-most 40 points and amassed a national record 123 1/4 points.

1978The Hawkeyes started their nine-year string of na-tional championships and were 15-1 in duals. Iowa’s one-half point margin of victory at the NCAA meet gave the Hawkeyes their third title in four years. This team was the fi rst in college history to win the national championship without an individual champion.

1979Coach Dan Gable’s fi rst undefeated and untied (19-0-0) team included NCAA champs Bruce Kinseth and Randy Lewis. Kinseth, who had a school-record 23 pins, was named Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAA Meet. He pinned all four opponents at Big Tens and all fi ve at nationals.

1980Iowa won its third straight national title with a school-re-cord eight all-Americans, including NCAA champions Randy Lewis (134) and Ed Banach (177). A 34-match dual winning streak was snapped by Cal-Poly, 27-12.

1981The winningest team (21-1) in Iowa annals boasted nine All-Americans and seven Big Ten champs. Broth-ers Ed and Lou Banach won NCAA titles. The 10-man lineup had an overall record of 302-45-2. Iowa won the NCAA title by 29 1/2 points.

1982Three NCAA champions – Barry Davis, Jim Zalesky and Pete Bush – paced the undefeated (16-0-1) na-tional champions. Davis set the Iowa season mark for wins with 46. The Hawkeyes had eight All-Americans and piled up a record 131 3/4 points at the NCAAs.

1983Iowa set a Big Ten record with nine league champs, compiled a 17-1 dual record and won a sixth consecu-tive NCAA crown. Iowa had nine All-Americans, a tour-nament record. Ed Banach won his third NCAA title in four years. Carver-Hawkeye Arena opened its doors with a 35-7 victory over Oklahoma.

1984The Hawkeyes were 16-1 in duals and won both NCAA and Big Ten titles. Jim Zalesky, named Out-standing Wrestler at the NCAAs, posted his second straight undefeated campaign and closed his career with 89 straight wins. Five Hawkeyes made the na-tional championship match.

1985Gable’s second perfect season record (18-0-0) was accomplished with nine All-Americans and eight Big Ten champions. Davis, who won his third NCAA title, earned Outstanding Wrestler. For the second year in a row, fi ve Hawkeyes wrestled in NCAA title matches.

1986The Hawkeyes’ record-tying ninth straight national team title was a record-shattering performance. Iowa set all-time NCAA records for points scored (158), margin of victory (73.25) and national champs (fi ve)! Marty Kistler was the Hawkeyes’ third straight NCAA Outstanding Wrestler award winner. Six wrestlers won at least 30 matches. The ninth straight NCAA cham-pionship tied the all-time record for consecutive titles.

1991Iowa regained the national title that had eluded it since 1986, crowning nine All-Americans at the NCAA meet in Iowa City. Tom Brands (134) won his second straight title and was joined on the victory stand by Mark Reiland (167). Tom Brands ended the year with a perfect 45-0 record. Iowa’s team total of 157 was just one shy of the NCAA record, set by Iowa in 1986. The Hawkeyes won their 18th straight Big Ten title.

1992Gable’s third perfect season (16-0-0) was accom-plished by nine All-Americans, including NCAA champs Terry Brands, Tom Brands, and Troy Steiner. Tom Brands won his third consecutive NCAA title and was named Outstanding Wrestler. The Hawkeyes won their 19th straight Big Ten crown (6 champs) and second straight NCAA title. The Iowa-Iowa State dual meet (a 29-8 Iowa victory) drew an NCAA record 15,291 fans in Iowa City.

1993Iowa rebounded from a midseason slump to win a third straight NCAA title and 20th consecutive Big Ten title. The Hawkeyes fell from the top of the Amateur Wrestling News poll with a 24-20 loss to Nebraska at the National Duals in Lincoln, NE, in late January, but regrouped to go 8-0 down the stretch. Seven Hawk-eyes earned All-America honors, headlined by nation-al champs Lincoln McIlravy and Terry Steiner. Steiner was named Outstanding Wrestler at the NCAA Meet, and his brother Troy was selected Big Ten Athlete of the Year. Gable was named Big Ten Coach of the Year for the fi rst time.

McIlravy was named Outstand-ing Wrestler of the NCAA Championships. The Hawk-eyes also won their 24th consecutive Big Ten title, and Ironside was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Year for the second consecutive year.

No team has dominated collegiate wrestling like the University of Iowa Hawkeyes since the mid 1970s. Iowa captured nine straight NCAA titles from 1978-86 and has won 23 of the last 42.

Head Coach Gary Kurdelmeier and Assistant Coach Dan Gable, both in their third years at Iowa, were optimistic at the beginning of the 1974-75 season, hoping to defend their Big Ten team title and post a winning dual season. The duo not only accomplished those goals, but added the fi rst NCAA team title in school history and the school’s ninth undefeated season (17-0-1) to their list of accomplishments. The Hawkeyes also set then-school records for most all-Americans (5) and most dual wins (17) in a season. Dan Holm and Chuck Yagla each won their fi rst NCAA individual title.

IOWA WRESTLING2017-18 MEDIA GUIDE

Carver-Hawkeye Arena has been the home of Iowa wrestling since 1983. The facility is one of the fi nest of its kind in the world, and it seats 15,077 fans for a dual wrestling meet. The arena is named after the late Roy J. Carver, a long-time friend and contribu-tor to the University. Carver had a love for Iowa athletics and a lifelong affection for wrestling. Carver died in 1981 at the age of 71. Iowa’s basketball and volleyball squads also compete in the bowl-shaped arena. The multi-purpose building has also been the site of banquets, concerts, exhibition shows, and graduation ceremonies. Besides the main fl oor, where dual meets are staged, the arena boasts one of the best wrestling training rooms in the nation. The Dan Gable Wrestling Complex features three mats, a locker room, sauna, weight-lift-ing facilities, and retractable bleachers. The Board of Regents, State of Iowa approved the schematic design, project de-scription, budget, and fi nancing plan for a $47 million addition and revitalization of the arena that was completed in 2011. The Carver-Hawkeye Arena – Addition and Reno-vation Project added a practice facility immediately north of the arena for use by the Hawkeye men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs; renovation of the practice, fi tness and weight-training facilities utilized by the wrestling program; reno-vation and expansion of other fi tness and weight-training space in the arena utilized by the majority of Iowa’s 24 sports; the renovation and expansion of locker rooms in the facility; and the renovation of existing and the creation of new offi ce, meeting, and storage space for use by administrative and coaching staff of the Athletics Depart-ment. The project began in the fall of 2009 and the UI Department of Athletics moved back into the facility in July, 2011. The revitalization of the arena also extends into spaces used by the general public on game days and nights. This includes renovation of select concessions and rest-room facilities, and the creation of hospitality and meeting spaces. There are also club facilities for fans of the Hawkeyes who choose to participate in a variety of premium seating options similar to those available in the Paul W. Brechler Press Box at Kinnick Stadium. In 2016, a new four-sided centerhung video system was installed in the main arena. The video screen can display any combination of live video, instant replays, statistics, game information, animations and sponsorship messages.

The Dan Gable Wrestling Complex was a part of the $47 million revitalization and expansion of Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The complex features an extended training space, a new locker room, new coaches locker room, student-athlete video center, and a new offi ce suite.

The Hawkeyes have a .909 winning percentage at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Iowa’s 239-24 all-time mark in the building includes a record 11 home wins during the 2010 and 2015 seasons. The Hawkeyes have recorded 20 undefeated seasons in Carver-Hawkeye, with the most recent (9-0) occurring in 2012-13. The fi rst event held in the arena was a wrestling meet on January 3, 1983. Iowa beat Oklahoma 35-7. Iowa all-American Tim Riley won the fi rst match contested in the arena. On Dec. 6, 2008, Iowa set the then-NCAA wrestling dual meet attendance record when 15,955 fans saw the Hawkeyes defeat Iowa State, 20-15, in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. In all, the Hawkeyes have hosted several conference and national tournaments. Four Big Ten (1983, 1994, 2005, and 2016) and four NCAA Championships (1986, 1991, 1995 and 2001) were held in Carver-Hawkeye Arena, with Iowa winning the team title fi ve of the eight times. Carver-Hawkeye Arena also hosted the 2012 and 2016 U.S. Olympic trials, the annual N.W.C.A. All-Star Wrestling Classic in 1993 and 1996, and the Cliff Keen/N.W.C.A. National Duals in 1998 and 1999.

Kurdelmeier graduated from the UI in 1959 where he was a Big Ten Champion, NCAA Champion and team captain for the Hawkeyes. He served as UI assistant wrestling coach from 1967-72 and then head coach from 1973-76. During his tenure, the Hawkeyes won three Big Ten Championships, two NCAA team titles and Kurdelmeier was named national coach of the year in 1975. He also secured the future of Iowa wrestling when he and former UI Athletic Director, Bump Elliott, hired Dan Gable as an assistant coach.

William and Kay Pitlik Wrestling ScholarshipBill and Kay Pitlik of Cedar Rapids, IA, fi rst created an endowed scholarship in 1998 to show their love for the Hawkeyes. Both graduated from the University of Iowa, Kay in 1952 and Bill in 1953. The Pitliks owned and operated Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company for many years in Cedar Rapids. Kay is an avid Hawkeye fan, and prior to Bill’s death in 2008, they also endowed scholarships to benefi t women’s basketball, fi eld hockey and football (2). Kay continues to support UI athletics very generously, in Bill’s honor, including a naming gift to the wrestling area in the newly renovated Carver Hawkeye Arena.

John and Dorothy Sill Wrestling ScholarshipThe John and Dorothy Sill Wrestling Scholarship was established in 1999 through a generous estate gift by the Sill family. John and Dorothy were both born and raised in small town Iowa. They were married in 1941 and managed a family farm until 1959. They later moved to Man-chester, IA, where he was the manager of the Delaware County Mutual Insurance Association and opened his own insurance agency. They were very active in the community and proud supporters of the West Delaware and University of Iowa athletic teams. John passed away in 1989. Dorothy followed in 1999.

Iowa Style Wrestling ScholarshipGary and Camille Seamans established the Iowa Style Wrestling Scholarship in 2001. It is a tribute to the aggressive, determined and dominat-ing style that Hawkeye wrestlers have exhibited under head coaches Gary Kurdelmeier, Dan Gable, Jim Zalesky and Tom Brands. An Iowa City native, Gary received his B.S. in electrical engineering from the UI and enjoyed a successful career in the telecommunications industry, retiring as chairman and CEO of Westell Technologies in 1998. Camille is a native of Dekalb, IL, and is now retired from her role as director of human resources for the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation of Chicago.

TIPPIE ATHLETICS DIRECTOR CHAIR

Gary A. BartaHenry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Athletics Director Chair

Gary Barta is in his 12th year as the director of athletics at the University of Iowa, where he occupies the Henry B. and Patricia B. Tippie Athletics Director Chair. The position was recently endowed by the Tippies, longtime supporters of the University of Iowa and Hawkeye Athletics. Henry B. Tippie earned his UI degree in 1952 and was presented an honorary

degree in 2011.

Barta was recognized by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) as a 2015-16 Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year. In 2016, Barta received a contract extension keeping him in Iowa City through 2021.

In the past year, Iowa Athletics staff, coaches, and Hawkeye student-athletes have continued to raise the bar in their daily approach to: “Win. Graduate. Do It Right.” There is tremendous momentum surrounding the entire Athletics program in all three areas.

Barta has engineered a signifi cant Senior Staff reorganization the past few years. The recent changes have allowed the ability to fi ll a number of key positions with new faces, while realigning staff assignments to fi t the needs of Hawkeye coaches, staff, and student-athletes.

In 2016-17, the UI’s annual operating budget exceeded $100 million for the fi rst time, with 100 percent of the revenue generated by the UI Athletics Department through external funding. The majority of revenue is derived from traditional revenue sources that include: Big Ten Conference revenue share (including media rights), sales of tickets to athletic events on the UI campus, and contributions from loyal Hawkeye fans throughout Iowa and across the country.

Support for Hawkeye Athletics has grown signifi cantly under Barta’s leadership. An all-time record $42 million in fundraising activity was achieved in 2016-17. This philanthropic support has been critical to the long list of Athletics facilities either built or renovated during Barta’s 11 years at Iowa.

Barta’s involvement in the UI campus and the greater Iowa City community extends beyond his position as director of the UI’s Intercollegiate Athletics programs. He is a member of the President’s Cabinet, comprised of vice presidents and other campus leaders that provide counsel to the UI’s president.

Barta remains active at the conference and national level. He serves on the Rose Bowl Management Committee and is currently involved in the NCAA Transfer Working Group. He is also regularly involved in NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) and LEAD1 (formerly known as the Division IA Athletic Directors Association).

From a community standpoint, Barta is currently serving as the Chair of the United Way of Johnson and Washington Counties Board of Directors. He is a long-standing member of the Partnership for Alcohol Safety Committee, and has been a regular participant in numerous Chamber and Convention and Visitor Bureau initiatives during his tenure.

Barta often suggests to his staff that “Hope is not a strategy,” which is why the Department is undergoing a comprehensive review and rewriting of the strategic plan for the UI Athletics Department and continues to work with the UI’s leadership on a long-term fi nancial plan.

• In his third year as head coach, Bond Shymansky guided the volleyball team to one of the best volleyball seasons in program history. Iowa fi nished the regular season with a 19-13 overall record and a 9-11 mark in Big Ten play, recording the program’s fi rst winning season since 2000. Loxley Keala became the eighth player in program history to garner 2,000 assists, a feat she accomplished in just two years with the program. As a senior, Keala amassed 1,212 assists and became the fi rst Hawkeye to earn All-Big Ten honors since 2001.

• Graduate • • In October 2016, the NCAA reported Iowa’s student-athletes set a Hawkeye

record by posting a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) score of 90 percent. Iowa student-athletes also earned a 76 percent Federal Graduation Rate (FGR). The FGR is also a record, and tops among the three Board of Regents State of Iowa institutions.

• Sixteen teams improved their GSR over 2015-16 while 16 teams also improved their Academic Progress Rate (APR) over the previous year.

• The grade point average for all UI student-athletes has reached 3.0 or above for the past two years, which exceeds the GPA average for all students attending the University of Iowa.

• Last May, the NCAA reported all 24 of Iowa’s sports programs were comfortably above the APR threshold for the seventh straight year.

• Wrestlers Michael Kemerer, Alex Meyer, and Brandon Sorensen were named to the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) All-Academic Team.

• Do It Right •• The UI provides a superior experience for the more than 650 talented

student-athletes who participate in the program annually and the more than one million friends and fans of the UI who attend Hawkeye events on the UI campus while being responsible and productive citizens of the greater Iowa City and University of Iowa community.

• Iowa remains among the handful of intercollegiate athletics programs nationally that successfully maintains its status as 100 percent self-supporting.

• UI student-athletes, coaches, and staff are also active local leaders, logging 15,000 hours of community service and spearheading efforts to support a wide variety of causes ranging from construction of the UI’s new Stead Family Children’s Hospital, to the UI’s extremely successful Dance Marathon, to involvement with Coaches vs. Cancer.

• Iowa football has been involved with the Stead Family Children’s Hospital “Kid Captain” program for 11 years. UI Athletics teamed with the UI Alumni Association on the “Black and Gold Fridays” outreach program and partnered with the College Football Playoff Foundation on “Extra Yard for (K-12) Teachers” program.

• Iowa’s annual “Day of Caring” serves as the foundation upon which all these outreach activities rest. Now in its 22nd year of existence, the Day of Caring happens each April and typically involves representatives of most, if not all, of Iowa’s sports programs who provide a wide variety of assistance to myriad not-for-profi t organizations that serve the greater Iowa City community.

• “Doing It Right” also encompasses efforts aimed at improving the student-athlete experience. The UI Athletics Department invested more than $1.7 million directly into food cost for its student-athletes in 2014-15 in response to NCAA legislation aimed at providing a higher quality student-athlete experience, with that fi gure exceeding $1.9 in 2016-17. That commitment will continue annually and is complemented by increases to the value of the scholarships awarded the UI’s student-athletes as part of the NCAA’s effort to fully address cost of attendance.

• The Ladies Football Academy, spearheaded by Mary and Kirk Ferentz, has donated more than $1.8 million to the University of Iowa’s Stead Family Children’s Hospital, which opened recently across the street from Kinnick Stadium.

• Margaret and Fran McCaffery have been champions for Coaches vs. Cancer and the American Cancer Society (ACS). The McCafferys have been actively involved with the Coaches vs. Cancer program and have raised more than $2 million to support ACS efforts.
