GAZETTE FEMALE ATHLETE OF THE YEAR 2026.
A three-sport star (she ranks in the top 20 all-time in Iowa in both points and rebounds in basketball).
Her family was wooed by several other schools to join them, but they held firm and stayed loyal to Springville High School.
Now considered a 'sleeper' and a 'steal' at the University of South Dakota.
Meet ROWAN JACOBI.

Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥

Hard is the lesson.
