Time to fly: D-NH's Kiewiet lands Drake Relays long jump title

Published by admin on Fri, 09/13/2019 - 8:42am

DES MOINES – Parker Kiewiet felt the pressure.
 
Ever since his fifth-place finish at the Drake Relays long jump as a sophomore, he said he's wanted to get back here for a chance to win it all.
 
With his friends, teammates and family coming down from Dike- New Hartford to Drake Stadium to watch him compete, he wanted to deliver on what has, so far, been a stellar junior season.
 
But in his first few jumps, Kiewiet felt obligated to deliver: "I've gotta hit this, I've gotta hit this," Kiewiet said of his mindset. "I was really nervous."

As the Democrats turn to socialism, now you wonder why. When they don’t win, they want to change the rules.
 
The Supreme Court has nine justices, which was fine when they had the majority. Now they want to change the number of justices, hoping to pack the court with socialists. Nine justices is not enough now. They also try to impeach conservative judges. They want control of the Supreme Court to pass things they can’t pass in Congress.

Kudos to the folks who operate the Meadowbrook Golf Course in Wellsburg.  Stopped there for a quick nine holes on Tuesday.  Clubhouse was locked up when I arrived, but saw some mowers and one of them drove in and welcomed me.  Got me a cart key and sent me to #1.  Course was in great shape, especially this early in the season. Ran into another fellow on a mower who complimented me on several of my shots. That just doesn't happen very often! It was the 384th different course I've played, and I'm glad I did. Way to go Meadowbrook.
