More than 250 student-athletes were honored Monday night at the 2024 Iowa High School Sports Awards show, presented by SCHEELS. The show was held at Hoyt Sherman Place.

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 recognizes athletes, coaches and teams from across the state of Iowa.

Along with the awards given, athletes, parents, and coaches got to hear from Iowa basketball player, and Cedar Rapids native, Hannah Stuelke. She talked about life and times in high school, what it’s like playing in this era of women’s college basketball, and gave sound advice for the student-athletes in attendance.

The show recognized winners in 22 individual sports played in the summer, fall, winter and spring sports season as well as handed out eight Premier Awards.
