Sudbury Named Midwest Region Coach of the Year
Jeremy Sudbury, Iowa State’s track and cross country director, has been named USTFCCCA Midwest Region Coach of the Year after leading the Cyclones to a runner-up finish at the 2024 NCAA Cross Country Championships. In his fourth year as director, Sudbury’s squad earned four All-America honors and came within 13 points of the national title. This marks his second regional coaching honor, with the first awarded in 2021. Iowa State now shifts focus to the indoor season, starting Dec. 7.
Cyclones Fall to Auburn After Blowing 16-Point Lead
No. 5 Iowa State suffered its first season loss, falling 83-81 to No. 4 Auburn in the Maui Invitational. The Cyclones led 49-33 at halftime but were outscored 50-32 in the second half. A last-second putback by Auburn sealed the comeback win.
Iowa State shined early, shooting 58.3% from the field in the first half, with standout performances from Keshon Gilbert and Joshua Jefferson. However, the team faltered offensively in the second half, shooting just 31.8%. Auburn’s Chad Baker-Mazara led the charge with 16 second-half points.
Despite a season-high 23 points from Gilbert, foul trouble limited him to 21 minutes. Meanwhile, Tamin Lipsey struggled, shooting 3-for-9 and missing key free throws late.
The Cyclones face the loser of No. 12 North Carolina vs. Dayton on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. CT on ESPNU.
