To end the experience, students had a photo-op with Herky! Then they were given a tour of the new Wrestling facility where Tom Brands began the tour! Many people spoke about their careers on the athletic side such as Director of Operations, Equipment Room manager, Physical Therapist, and so many more. The best ending was running through the tunnel and seeing Kate Martin, Lucy Olsen, and Taylor Stremlow practicing on the court! Thank you to those at Carver Hawkeye Arena and the University of Iowa for expanding our students' minds to the variety of careers offered so close to home and providing an unforgettable experience! #mphawks
