Exhibition: Hawkeye Histories | Sporting Stories

Exhibition: Hawkeye Histories | Sporting Stories promotional image

From Nile Kinnick to Caitlin Clark and Duke Slater to Christine Grant, Hawkeyes have been breaking records, navigating barriers, and making sports history since the University of Iowa’s first teams emerged in the late 1800s.

Curated by Dr. Jennifer Sterling, the Main Library Gallery's fall 2024 exhibition, Hawkeye Histories | Sporting Stories, examines the role sports has played at Iowa throughout the changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics. It explores Iowa’s first men’s and women’s teams at the turn of the 20th century, the emergence of big-time men’s sports in the mid-1900s, and the rise of women athletes from the 1970s onward.
