I play a lot of tennis so this story interested me. Iowa Women’s tennis has quite the player this year. Alexa Noel. A top ten ranked Junior. Undefeated as a Hawkeye this year. Not even recruited by Iowa. We can do the same for football recruits! Here is her story….maybe some of you folks know the family.
Both of my parents were born in Grinell, Iowa,” Noel continued. “My mom graduated from the University of Iowa and my dad graduated from Coe College in Cedar Rapids. My grandparents still live there on my dad's side; my uncle lives a mile and a half from the football stadium in Iowa City, so I do have a lot of family ties there. I just felt proud that I was going to be a Hawkeye, to have so much family there and be able to carry that on, but also make a life of my own out of it.”
