Tonight’s (Tuesday night’s) Grand Blue Mile at the Drake Relays will feature the return of 2017 winner Katie Follett. The former Washington standout will compete in the USA One Mile Road Championship. It is her first race since the birth of her son seven months ago.

Several years ago motherhood was considered the end of a career but that is no longer the case.

Follett says it is possible to have a track career and a family.

Minnesota native and two-time Gopher track and field All-American Shane Streich is having a breakout season as a pro. Streich capped off his indoor season by setting an American record in the one thousand meters at a meet in Louisville, Kentucky. His times have been improving since narrowly missing a spot on the U-S Olympic team last year in the 800.

Streich will compete in the 800 later this week at the Drake Relays and on Tuesday night will compete in the USA One Mile Road Championships in Des Moines. The former Waseca High School standout has made several trips to Drake as a competitor and spectator.

Tuesday night’s race will be his first of the outdoor season.

The New York Mets scored 5 runs in the top of the ninth inning to grab a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Brandon Nimmo had 1 hit with 2 RBI and 1 run scored. Pete Alonso, Eduardo Escobar, and Jeff McNeill each had 2 hits for the Mets.

Paul Goldschmidt had two hits and drew a walk to lead the Cardinals offense.

The Cardinals fell to 9-6 overall on the season. The Mets and Cardinals meet again on Tuesday night at 6:45 p.m. We’ll have that game on KJAN with pregame at 5:50 p.m.

The Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association (IAHSSCA) has released its weekly rankings for the 2022 boys’ soccer season for all classes: 1A, 2A, and 3A.

Class 3A Ranking

Class 2A Ranking 

 Class 1A Ranking 

ST. LOUIS, MO., April 25, 2022 – Prior to today’s game, the St. Louis Cardinals have recalled infielder Brendan Donovan from Memphis (AAA).  Outfielder Lars Nootbaar was optioned to Memphis following Sunday’s game in Cincinnati.

Donovan, 25, the Cardinals seventh round selection (213th overall) out of the University of South Alabama in 2018, was batting .298 with a home run, six RBI and three doubles through 16 games.  He has hit safely in 14-of-16 games and is batting .421 (8-19) against left-handed pitching with a .364 mark with runners in scoring position.

Born in Wurzburg, Germany, as his father was a Deputy Commander for the United States Army at their Combat Readiness Center, Donovan will become the seventh Cardinals German-born player.  He will join the most recent, Edwin Jackson (2011), who was born in West Germany.

Donovan was a 2021 Arizona Fall League Rising Star and was selected to the 28-player roster for Germany before they canceled the 2021 World Baseball Classic.  He traveled to Los Angeles for the 2021 National League Wild Card game as a member of the Taxi Squad, but was not on the active roster.

Nootbaar played in seven games for the Cardinals after beginning the season on the Opening Day roster and is compiled a .125 batting average with one RBI.

Donovan would be the second Cardinals player to make his Major League debut in 2022 and the seventh to make his Cardinals debut this season if he appears in a game prior to Packy Naughton. He will wear uniform No. 33.
