HAWKEYE UPDATES Hawkeyes honor Chris Street At halftime of Iowa’s 87-64 loss Triple exposure sinks to No. 3 Purdue, the Hawkeyes hon- ored Chris Street, who was killed in an auto crash 25 years ago. The university created a tribute video, and Rick Brown, the author of Emotion in Motion (a book profiling Street), spoke in front of struggling men's team the crowd at midcourt. It was an emotional day for those close to Street, such as then- head coach Tom Davis, who fought Iowa’s poor defense and Purdue’s explosive offense (20 3s) was a bad combination for the Hawkeyes. through tears during the ceremony. Street’s parents, Mike and Patty Street, spoke with members of the media prior to the Jan. 20 contest. The two thanked the university for its efforts to keep them involved and remember their son, even 25 years after his death. “It’s just a tribute to what Chris was — it’s nothing we’ve done,” Mike Street said. “We appreciate that.” Even a quarter of a century after his passing, Chris Street’s memory lives on, and his effect on others remains strong. “He was genuine, he loved the game, he was a hard worker, and I think we all like people who enjoy their jobs, enjoy what they’re doing,” Mike Street said.

WEEKEND TOP MOMENTS Each Monday, The Daily Iowan se- lects the top-three sports moments from the weekend. 3 — Mar’yea Harris flashes his wheels Harris rocked the Hawkeye track over the weekend. The junior notched the seventh-best 400-me- ter time in the world this year and won the 4x400 relay with his last-second closeout on LSU. Harris ran a 45.599 split in his relay’s come-from-behind race. 2 — Spencer Lee’s upset True freshman Lee knocked off No. 1 Nathan Tomasello (125 pounds) of Ohio State, 3-2, in Columbus. Lee ranks sixth in his weight class. 1 — Iowa remembers Chris Street For the game against Purdue on Jan. 20, the Hawkeyes left the first chair on their bench untouched. Draped on the chair was Street’s jersey, and it remained there for the game.
