And if those grades should slip, Anderson said, he will know immediately. “I go in and meet with the academic coordinators on a weekly basis,” he said. “Many universities don’t have the funding for these services, and that may be why we fare better academ- ically than most.” Hawkeye senior Hannah Roeder and sophomore McKenzie Melander were named to the All-Academic individual team. Melander, a distance runner, said the environment created by the track and field team has helped her focus on her studies. “[Anderson] is really flex- ible,” she said. “If you have a test or something due, he will let you miss practice.” She often completes course work days ahead of time to help work around her athletics commitments, she said. “It’s all about knowing where you will be during the week,” Melander said. “I really only get about an hour a night to myself when you factor in
