The first thing she noticed was the cold, because that’s usually the first thing everybody notices about Iowa during the winter. But Heather Bowe can handle it. She’s from Wisconsin, after all.
“It’s not that bad here,” she said, “but I’ll get used to it again.”
She has to, really. Bowe (pronounced bo-VEE) will spend the next two winters in Ames after transferring from Vanderbilt. She arrived 10 days ago and is officially a member of the Iowa State women’s basketball team.
Bowe will not compete until the 2016-17 season, though. Not playing this semester allows her to play all of next year.
