Collaborating to find solutions
CYstarter Micah Walker is a senior majoring in entrepreneurship and member of the Iowa State track and field team who throws hammer and weight. When Micah broke his foot, he recognized a huge issue within the throwing industry: the design for throwing shoes has not changed in decades. Micah founded Stratus Throws to solve that problem. With the help of Michael Brown, a senior majoring in industrial design, and Peter Gilroy, a junior majoring in industrial design, the three students are working together to create a new throwing shoe.
