New Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series Football Trophy Unveiled
08.19.2011 | Football
JOHNSTON, Iowa – A new Cy-Hawk series football trophy was unveiled today on the Grand Concourse at the Iowa State Fair. The new football trophy is part of an expanded partnership between the Iowa Corn Growers Association and The Iowa Corn Promotion Board (Iowa Corn) and Learfield Sports on behalf of both the Iowa State University and University of Iowa Athletic Departments.
"This is literally a work of art representing the people and characteristics that are uniquely Iowan." Craig Floss, CEO for Iowa Corn said. "Just as the trophy reads, we are honest, hard working, family and community orientated people. Iowa's corn farmers are proud to bring this work of art to the new Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series football game and we look forward to sharing it with the people of Iowa.”"
The trophy represents Iowans as caring, trustworthy, committed, and compassionate, stewards, mentors and educators. These are some of the many characteristics of all citizens of the state of Iowa and are embodied in the iconic image that rests atop the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series football trophy. The image also salutes the rich tradition and significant role that agriculture has in the history and the future of our great state.
"The scene of a family talking after a day's work is representative of our state," Iowa State Director of Athletics Jamie Pollard said. "It certainly symbolizes one of our state's best virtues … its family-oriented people. We are grateful for the support of the Iowa Corn Growers for the Cy-Hawk Series and look forward to a great partnership. I am confident the Cyclones will be anxious to compete for this football trophy every fall."
"The Iowa Hawkeyes are excited about the start of a new chapter in this great rivalry," Gary Barta, Director of Athletics at Iowa, said. "We're proud that the Iowa-Iowa State football game is an event Iowans from border to border look forward to with great anticipation. We look forward to celebrating the game, the people of Iowa, and our state's rich agricultural heritage with our partners on the event, Iowa State University and the Iowa Corn Growers, for many years to come."
Fans attending the State Fair on Aug. 19 can look at the trophy up close and take a photo with it. The new trophy will go to the winner of the Sept. 10 football game between the Cyclones and Hawkeyes at Jack Trice Stadium. Look for the trophy on display for fans throughout the football season.
