How about #UrbandaleIA native & former @DCHSMaroons standout @KarissaSchweiz4 knocking 29 seconds off her PB to move from #4 to #3 on the U.S. all-time list, passing her coach @ShalaneFlanagan (30:22.22).She finished 9th @WCHoregon22 in 30:18.05 & will run 5000 Wednesday.
As co-chair of the Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Task Force, @MikeNaigIA held a joint media availability this morning with @EPAwater head Radhika Fox and Sr. Advisor for Ag Rod Snyder. $60M in funding was announced to advance nutrient reduction strategies in the Mississippi River Basin.
