The term "Hawkeye" first appeared in the book The Last of the Mohicans. It was later used in its plural form to describe the people of Iowa.

Historically, Iowa has done well in wrestling. They have 34 team Big Ten championships and 23 team national championships. The Hawkeyes have also won national championships in three other sports. These are men's gymnastics, football and field hockey.[2][3][4] In basketball, Iowa has reached the Final Four five times. The men's team has done this three times and the women's team has done so twice. The baseball team has reached the Men's College World Series once, in 1972. Iowa's softball team has played in the Women's College World Series four times.
