Sophie Berning & Hannah Jorgensen

Berning: I’m from Kansas City, Missouri. I lived here for like the first six years of my life and then moved away, so I’ve always been a Hawkeye fan. My parents loved Iowa, so I decided to move back here, and it feels a little more like home. [OnIowa] has just been really fun to see the community. I feel like it’s a community here, like everybody’s a family almost.

DI: What do you think it means to be a Hawkeye?

Berning: Being a Hawkeye just means being the best you can be.

Jorgensen: I’m from Hampton, Iowa. Everyone’s really welcoming here.
