Vigil honours star golfer who was killed in Iowa

Teammates of an Iowa State University student who was killed while playing golf near the campus have lit candles at a vigil to remember the 22-year-old.

The vigil for Celia Barquin Arozamena drew a large crowd north of the Campanile, a bell tower on the Ames campus.

Several speakers, including women’s golf coach Christie Martens, talked about the star golfer from Spain.
