BIG 12 FOOTBALL Iowa State announces Chizik as new head coach
Iowa State, in hiring Texas assistant Gene Chizik, sought a piece of a national champion to revive the lackluster Cyclones.
Chizik replaces Dan McCarney, who resigned this month after 12 seasons. The Cyclones went 56-84 overall under McCarney and finished 4-8 this season.
Chizik came to Texas before the 2005 season, and the Longhorns won a national championship during his first season there. By the end of 2005, Chizik's teams had won 28 straight games dating back to his years at Auburn, where he was defensive coordinator for three seasons.

TRACK AND FIELD Kansas shot-put athlete inducted into hall of fame
Kansas shot-put great, William "Bill" H. Nieder was a recent inductee to the National Track and Field Hall of Fame.
Nieder grew up in Kansas and was the first high school athlete to throw past the 60-foot barrier with a 12-pound ball.
With the Kansas track and field team he captured five conference shot-put titles, two for the indoor seasons (1955-56) and three for the outdoor seasons (1954-56).
He also became the first college athlete to surpass the 60-foot barrier with the 16-pound ball.
Nieder finished second in the shot put at the NCAA Championships in 1956, breaking the world record in the event three different times.
The Hempstead, N.Y., native competed at the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, earning a silver medal, and was the Olympic champion in the shot put in the Rome games in 1960.
Nieder will be inducted at the Jesse Owens Awards and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Indianapolis, Ind., on Saturday, Dec. 2.
