Hawkeye Brooks to GAME TIME wrestle at Junior Pan Ams Hawkeye wrestler Sam Brooks was named to the FILA Junior Team that will compete at the 2013 FILA Junior Pan American Championships. Living up to a ‘big’ task The competition will take place in Santiago, Chile, from July 12-14. Brooks will wrestle freestyle for the United States at 84 kilograms (185 pounds). He is the only member of the men’s team who will wrestle only freestyle — every other member of the team will wrestle both freestyle and Greco-Roman. Wrestling at Brooks’ weight for the Greco-Roman competition will be Payne Hayden of St. Joseph, Mich. The athletes selected to the men’s team were chosen because of their successful showing at the FILA Junior World Team Trials in Stillwater, Okla., last month, as well as the FILA Junior National Championships in Las Vegas in April. Brooks clinched a spot on the team after winning his way through the 84-kilo Challenge Tournament, then sweeping top-seeded Vic Avery in the final series. Brooks also placed fourth at 2013 FILA Junior Nationals. — by Cody Goodwin

Jazzing up the cityscape

By Brett Karlan Go to DailyIowan.com [email protected] for photos from Iowa City Jazz Festival performances, and follow @DailyIowanArts on Craig Kessler is not afraid to admit that jazz might be a Twitter for festival updates bit out of the mainstream, but he thinks this is a good thing. He was describing what makes hosting a jazz festival in Iowa City worthwhile. “We try to stretch people’s [musical experiences] out,” he said, leaning across the Blue Bird Diner table, his eyes wid- ening with excitement. Kessler, the producer of “Jazz Corner of the World” on jazz radio KCCK, is also on the music-selection committee for the Iowa City Jazz Festival. The festival, now in its 23rd year, brings a wide variety of jazz and local food to downtown Io- wa City. The music will begin at 4:30 p.m. Friday on the Pen- tacrest and continue through an 8 p.m. performance on July 7. Don Thompson, an attorney for Bradley and Riley PC, chairs the music-selection committee. He echoed Kessler’s point from the other side of the table, although he framed the idea more modestly. “We try to stretch people out a little bit without making them too uncomfortable,” he said. “But we also want to bring in music that people want to hear.” Another aim of the weekend had Thompson and Kessler in complete agreement. “We really try to bring in up-and-coming artists that no one here has heard about but that people should be excited about,” Thompson said. “That’s the big thing.” Kessler nodded, telling an anecdote about a colleague at KCCK. “People will ask him about the festival, ‘Where are all the big names?’ ” Kessler said. “And he’ll tell them, ‘Oh, they were here three years ago.’ ”
