Brittany Weil-Miller enters her fourth season as the Cyclones pitching coach.

Her first three seasons in Ames has seen the focus on finding stability and the Cyclone staff had their moments. 2015 was highlighted by the breakout performance of senior Stacy Roggentien. A year after managing just 29 innings, Roggentien went to the top of the rotation, having one of the top season’s by a Cyclone pitcher this decade. After recording just four strikeouts in 2014, Roggentien rocketed to 111 in 2015.

In 2014, Katie Johnson produced one of the top freshman seasons in program history, leading the Cyclones in all categories. Johnson pitched four shutouts and combined with teammate Stacy Roggentien for a no-hitter against Jackson State, the third no-hitter in Weil-Miller’s first two seasons at Iowa State.

She also did good work with Paris Imholz, whose season got off to a rough start coming off an off-season surgery. Near the second-half of the season, Imholz became a very reliable member of the staff, which saw her pick up four wins in the final month of the season.

Before joining the Iowa State softball staff, Weil served in the same capacity at North Dakota State from 2011-12, seasons in which her pitchers earned numerous awards while leading the Bison to a 68-49 record, two Summit League Tournament Championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances. Before taking over as the Bison pitching coach, Weil was the team’s graduate assistant in 2009-10.

In 2012, NDSU freshman pitcher Krista Menke posted a 25-13 record and 2.36 ERA under the leadership of Weil. Menke was named both the Summit League’s Freshman and Pitcher of the Year and was selected to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Midwest Region second team.

In her first season as the Bison pitching coach, Weil helped Whitney Johnson to a 23-13 record and a 2.48 ERA. Johnson was named to the First Team All-Summit League and was the Summit League Tournament MVP.

A record-breaking force for the Iowa Hawkeyes from 2006-2009, Weil broke program records for strikeouts (1,083), innings pitched (1,011.2), games played (183), complete games (110), no-hitters (five) and tied the record for most career wins with 99. Her 339 strikeouts in 2009 is the single-season Hawkeye record.

Weil’s best season was as a senior in 2009 when she threw 14 shutouts en route to a 26-12 record. Her five career no-hitters came during the final campaign, helping lower her season ERA to a miniscule 1.10 and earn her Second Team NFCA All-America honors. During her career, Weil was a four-time All-Big Ten honoree and was named to the NFCA All-Midwest Region teams three times, including two top team selections.

The only Hawkeye ever drafted in the National Pro Fastpitch Senior Draft, Weil was chosen seventh overall in 2009 by the Akron Racers. The Garden Grove, Calif. native compiled a 2.28 ERA for the Racers, finishing the season with a 4-3 record and helping the team to the postseason.

Weil earned a bachelor’s in communications studies from Iowa in 2009.
