00:00Let's bring him home!
00:02Something special here on the board!
00:05That's what I was thinking when you were like,
00:07Mike J is, and I was like, Mike J is track.
00:10You know?
00:11It's crazy how a voice can mean so much
00:13to just the sport of track and field.
00:15Little Hawks off the turn with the lead.
00:18Prairie running second.
00:19Outstanding field.
00:20Noelle Steinis has tipped him in the field,
00:22the four-time cross-country champion.
00:24And the jackrabbit!
00:26I've been to a lot of big meets in different places,
00:31and there's good announcers,
00:32but there's just a great announcer, Mike J,
00:35and I mean that sincerely.
00:37He's the best.
00:38I thought that there was an opportunity for Dad
00:41to do something for the sport.
00:44That's what we started in October of 2018
00:47with the goal of gifting 25 pair of new shoes
00:50to Iowa kids that needed shoes
00:52and one $500 scholarship each year.
00:55When he's not gone somewhere to a track meet
00:59or at an event,
01:00he's usually working on his track guy stuff.
01:03Our mission is to give Iowa kids
01:05what they need to be successful
01:07in track and field and cross-country,
01:09or at least help them with what they need
01:11at no cost to them.
01:13For what he does for these kids
01:15in the state of Iowa alone,
01:17I can't speak enough about him
01:19on what this foundation's done for our program,
01:21but also around the state.
01:22It's been absolutely amazing.
01:24There's our first pair of 2025 going out.
01:28The way that he's been able to bring us
01:30into track and field
01:31and share that passion with him
01:33is indescribable, I guess.
01:36We are so lucky, fellas,
01:38to be able to do what we do.
01:40It's just crazy.
01:42Never take it for granted.
01:44Never take it for granted.
01:46Unfortunately Nots
01:47It's awesome.
01:48I'm sure it's really good.
01:49It's incredible.
01:50But it will be a bit of a tree.
01:51I guess it's really crazy.
01:52I'm sure it's really amazing.
01:53I need to make this step,
01:54with this make-up
01:55It's really fun.
01:56I need to make it for the to be able
01:57to be able to try and find it.
01:59So I used to be able
02:00where we are currently
02:01to be able to prepare
02:02for the right-hand moments
02:03and so I probably won't be able
02:05to make this step.
