After getting washed out by rain last year the Bruce Henderson Invitational was finally able to be ran after it was renamed to honor the legendary Atlantic coach last year. The hometown Trojans made the old coach leave with a big smile as they swept the team titles on the night and capped off the evening with wins by both the girls and boys 4x400M Relay teams.
On the girls side the Trojans ended up locking down the title after winning the 4x100M Relay and then put the exclamation point on in the 4x400M. Nicole Middents had a good start, Mariah Huffman kept the pace, Chloe Mullenix built a big lead in the third leg, and Ava Rush left no doubt as the Trojans easily outdistanced the field. Mullenix said they focus in well on that race.
Rush said she feels like the team is peaking at the right time.
Atlantic also got a 1-2 finish from Morgan Botos and Chloe Mullenix in the 400M Hurdles. Botos said it was great to push each other to the end.
Atlantic girls also picked up a win in the 4x100M Relay (Hailey Huffman, Lila Wiederstein, Nicole Middents, Jayci Reed 53.33), 4x800M Relay (Abby Smith, Mariah Huffman, Claire Wiederstein, Claire Pellett 10:30.06), Sprint Medley (Nicole Middents, Jayci Reed, Chloe Mullenix, Ava Rush 1:53.82), and Shuttle Hurdle Relay (Chloe Mullenix, Adler Bruce, Morgon Botos, Jayci Reed). Rush also won the 400M (1:00.08).
On the boys side in the 4x400M Relay Colton Rassmussen, Bennett Whetstone, and Caden Andersen all had strong legs and then Carter Pellett sprinted out extremely fast in the final leg to pass Glenwood and he had enough gas to close out the win. The Trojans had a team lead heading into the race but knew they needed to finish strong to secure the title. Pellett gave his thoughts on that anchor leg.
Fellow senior Caden Andersen enjoyed the chance to run at home on Senior Night.
The Atlantic boys also picked up a 1-2 finish in the High Jump from Jayden Proehl(5-10.00) and Colton Rasmussen (5-08.00). The Trojans also won the 4x800M Relay (Bennett Whetstone, Alex Sonntag, Tanner O’Brien, Caden Andersen (8:30.23) and the Shuttle Hurdle Relay (Jackson McLaren, Colton Rasmussen, Alex Keiser, Easton O’Brien 1:04.49). McLaren also went 2nd in the 110M Hurdles (15.63). Alex Keiser also had a big point gathering third place finish in the Discus.

DES MOINES, Iowa (May 1, 2023) – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig commented today on the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition Report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service. The report is released weekly April through November. Additionally, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship provides a weather summary each week during this time.
“The cooler and drier conditions allowed many farmers an opportunity to get back into the fields, which led to a jump in both corn and soybeans acres planted,” said Secretary Naig. “The weather outlook suggests warmer temperatures and near-average amounts of rainfall, which should help to increase statewide planting activity and gradually reduce the flooding along the Mississippi River.”
The weekly report is also available on the USDA’s website at nass.usda.gov.
Crop Report:
Cool and relatively dry weather offered farmers 4.8 days suitable for fieldwork during the week ending April 30, 2023, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. While planting progress continues at a decent pace, the colder than normal temperatures and dry weather have not done any favors for crop emergence. State level moisture supplies are still tightening up with the lack of precipitation. Corn, soybean, and oat planting continued this week.
Topsoil moisture condition rated 5 percent very short, 24 percent short, 68 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture condition rated 8 percent very short, 31 percent short, 58 percent adequate and 3 percent surplus.
Twenty-nine percent of Iowa’s expected corn crop has been planted, 11 days ahead of last year but 1 day behind the 5-year average. Sixteen percent of soybeans have been planted, 11 days ahead of last year and 1 day ahead of the average. Eighty-five percent of the expected oat crop has been planted, 2 weeks ahead of last year and 6 days ahead of normal. Twenty-nine percent of the oat crop has emerged, 1 week ahead of last year and 1 day ahead of the average.
Some reports of cattle being let out to pasture were received again this week, although pasture regrowth is slow with the current weather pattern. Overall, livestock conditions continue to be good.
DES MOINES – Gov. Reynolds, Senate Majority Leader Whitver, and Speaker Grassley have reached an agreement to provide property tax relief for Iowans. Gov. Reynolds, Senate Majority Leader Whitver, and Speaker Grassley released the following joint statement:
“We’ve heard Iowans across the state voice their concern about out-of-control property taxes and the impact on family budgets. Today, we’ve come to an agreement on a path forward. This deal provides much-needed property tax relief for Iowans and lays the groundwork for even bolder reform in the future.
“House File 718 curbs the growth of local governments in a responsible manner and begins reducing property taxes next year. It also provides additional relief for older Iowans and military families and requires property tax bill transparency. In total, the bill is estimated to provide $100 million in relief.
“This is an important first step toward long overdue property tax reform. Iowa’s existing property tax code is outdated, overly complex, and costs Iowans too much of their hard-earned pay. Work on this issue is just getting started.”
Governor Kim Reynolds released the following statement:
“My commitment to cutting taxes for the hard-working people of Iowa has never been stronger. After enacting the largest tax cut in state history last year, I’m proud to work alongside the House and Senate to begin property tax reform this year. Earlier this session I signed legislation to make state government more efficient, effective, and less expensive for Iowa taxpayers. This serves as a model for local governments, and property tax reform is a good first step.”
Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver released the following statement:
“We heard the urgent concerns of Iowans about rising property assessments. This agreement delivers on our promise to protect homeowners from huge property tax increases. I appreciate Senator Dawson’s tireless work on this bill, which will result in the most significant property tax reform in our state’s history.”
Speaker Pat Grassley released the following statement:
“With House Republicans representing all 99 of Iowa’s 99 counties, we are in a better position than ever to listen to Iowans. Our constituents spoke loud and clear that property tax relief must be a top priority this session and we got straight to work. I am very proud of the work Representative Kaufmann has done to deliver on yet another promise made to Iowans. This is a good first step and we will continue to work hard to provide certainty and relief for Iowa taxpayers.”
(Radio Iowa) – The eastern Iowa cities along the Mississippi River had to put their flood control measures into place, but have averted any major problems as the river crests today (Monday). National Weather Service Meteorologist, Matt Wilson, says the lack of any rain to go with the slug of water coming downriver from Minnesota snow melt kept the water from surpassing the record.
“We have been very lucky that we haven’t had any significant rainfall to come in on top of this crest. It’s been pretty straightforward for the last week or so, pretty dry here,” he says.”And even up north, we didn’t have too much extra rainfall up there in the last week or so.” He says the Mississippi River rarely rises to the level they are seeing without rainfall contributing to the flood conditions. Wilson is in the N-W-S Quad Cities office and says these high waters are passing without big damage.
“We haven’t had any reports of any type of major levee failure or any kind of major damage in protected areas along the river. Obviously, in the unprotected lowlands along the river, the river rose to its level and affected any structures or roadways that were there,” Wilson says. “But anywhere that was behind a flood wall — by and large we haven’t heard of any damages behind that.” He says there were reports of two minor levee breaks. One was at the Green Island Wildlife Management Area.
“Just south of Bellevue. No structures or roads were impacted by that one. And then another one in Commanche, Iowa, where it was quickly sandbagged. And they had the pumps going so before anybody even really knew that what was going on the crews there were already taking care of it,” he says. Wilson says the forecast is good for allowing the waters to recede.
“Over the next week, we’re expecting broadly, no more than an inch of rain across the states of Iowa and Illinois. And then for the next eight to 14 days after that, we’re also expecting below-average chances for precipitation,” Wilson says. Wilson says that lack of rain should allow the river to go down at a faster rate than normal.
“By the end of May, we’ll have pretty much every site here in Iowa back down below flood stage,” he says. The crest is going to end up somewhere around 21-point-four feet to 21-point-five feet — which would be below the record crest.
