Today, Oklahoma coach Jennie Baranczyk (a former Iowa player) faces Iowa coach Jan Jensen in a Sweet 16 game as her team hosts the Hawkeyes.
Baranczyk said she expects strong emotions (honoring her late teammate Jamie Cavey-Lang with pins marked 52) as her squad vies for a chance to advance.

He began his journey in 2009 and said his final race in South Carolina stirred strong emotions.
