Iowa basketball’s Hannah Stuelke to be featured speaker at Iowa High School Sports Awards

Iowa women’s basketball star Hannah Stuelke will be the featured speaker at the 2024 Iowa High School Sports Awards, presented by SCHEELS.

The Iowa High School Sports Awards is one of 20 regional shows held across the United States. It’s a nine-month student-athlete recognition program that will culminate at a red-carpet show in June. The show will recognize athletes, coaches and teams from across the state of Iowa.

The show will be held June 10 at Hoyt Sherman Place in Des Moines. Tickets are now available.

Stuelke is a homegrown Iowa talent who dominated in high school and is now making her name known in the college basketball world.

She’s a graduate of Cedar Rapids Washington High School, where she set 11 school records, including most career points and rebounds. She also was a first-team all-state selection three times. During her senior year, she was named the Iowa Gatorade Player of the Year and Miss Iowa Basketball. She was also a stellar student, winning academic awards in math, science, and foreign languages.

Continuing her basketball career at the University of Iowa, Stuelke has continued to dominate on the court. She led all freshmen in minutes and was named the Big Ten Sixth Player of the Year.

This past season as a sophomore, she scored 47 points against Penn State, third-most in a single game in Iowa history. She earned second-team All-Big Ten honors from coaches and media. She finished the season by averaging 14 points and 6.6 rebounds per game.

Her consistent production throughout the NCAA Tournament, including a game-high 23 points against UConn, helped lead the Hawkeyes to their second straight national championship game appearance.
