Sandquist named KCC men's basketball coach

Tim Sandquist of Rock Valley College has been hired as the new men's  basketball coach at Kirkwood Community College.

Sandquist replaces Bryan Petersen, who has left Kirkwood to become an  assistant coach at South Dakota State after leading the Eagles to two  NJCAA Division II national titles in four years.

Sandquist led Rock Valley to the championship game of the NJCAA  Division III playoffs this year, where the Golden Eagles lost to  Herkimer and finished with a 25-7 record in his only year at the school.

"I am incredibly humbled and honored to become the head coach at  Kirkwood," Sandquist said in a press release. "I'm grateful to  athletic director Doug Wagemester and the search committee for the  opportunity to join the Eagle family.

"Kirkwood is a special place with a great tradition of excellence and  I cannot wait to get started in Cedar Rapids."

Mustangs tab 3 for Hall of Fame

Amanda Frost, Mwale Kapande and Justin Schulte will be inducted into  the Mount Mercy University Hall of Fame Sept. 27 during Alumni Reunion  Weekend.

Kapande (2014) was a five-time NAIA All-American during her two years  in the Mount Mercy track program. As a junior, she was an indoor and  outdoor All-American in the long jump. She repeated those honors as a  senior and also earned All-American credit in the 4x100 relay.

Morgan Lewis commits to Iowa softball
