Athletic careers are over for many across the country... begging the question... what is life like after sports?
Káiámát news three sports director á kaleb gillock á spoke with one area athlete to find out./// i had the chance to talk with mason city native á makenzie meyer á over facetime this afternoon.
The iowa hawkeyes were on a roll this season.
Given the fact they were undefeated at carverá hawkeye.... the tournament being canceled was even more disappointing.x xx it was kind of an icky way to end after playing rutgers and ohio state and losing those two games so we thought we were ready and really prepared for the ncaa tournament.
It was one and done for the hawkeyes in the big ten tournament but that didn't demolish their hopes of making the ncaa tournament.
Those hopes vanished in an instant when coach bluder's phone rang at practice.
Ss she called a timeout during our scrimmage and told us that it had been canceled and it was pretty emotional especially for the seniors and i guess just for the whole team to find out that we weren't going to play again.
As devastating as the news was... meyer says she'll remember her accomplishmen ts as a hawkeye in the years ahead á memories that include her younger sister á megan.
They won a state championship together in 2016... and are now leaning on each other to get through these difficult times.
Just trying to look back and enjoy all of the fun games we've played in and just all of the fun stuff off the court too she's just been a good shoulder to lean on and i can tell her anything and just count on her to build me up when it gets emotional now á sports are over for makenzie... but she hopes to remain in iowa city.
She plans to apply for dental school... until then focusing on finishing the semester strong while still entertaining her many social media followers.
