Another Down Year For Iowa High School Field Hockey Players
The University of Iowa field hockey team announced Monday that it had signed five prep standouts for the 2007 season. Maggie Neill, Sarah Pergine, and Amy Baxter all hail from Pennsylvania. Chelsea Miller is from Texas, while Paige Lowrey is from Colorado.
What is the problem with high school field hockey programs in Iowa? They just can't seem to elevate their play enough to send girls to university field hockey programs. The Hawkeyes' 2006 roster had six players from Pennsylvania, two from New Hampshire and New Jersey, and one apiece from California, Wisconsin, Ohio, Missouri, New York and Delaware.
What's the world coming to when Delaware and New Hampshire crank out more college field hockey players than Iowa?
Oh, wait. Iowa doesn't have high school field hockey and never has.
Never mind.
