If you thought the signature first quarter tradition at Iowa was taking the sports world by storm, you haven’t seen anything yet. Carrie Underwood included the tradition sweeping the nation in a new music video for The Champion, mixing in a glimpse of the Kinnick Wave from the point of view from inside the children’s hospital followed by a look from the stands as fans wave to the children and their families watching over Kinnick Stadium on game day.
The images of the wave are seen about midway through the music video (starting at the 2:15 mark in the video) just as Ludicrous steps to the microphone to perform his part of the collaboration.
Underwood’s video shows off various moments of sports glory, but it also reaches beyond the realm of sports by showing off her own accomplishments and highlighting heroic efforts of other professions such as firefighters and teachers. As the Kinnick Wave shows, there are champions in the children’s hospitals as well.
