First-, second- and third-year physical therapy students made DMU proud by providing recovery services to more than 150 runners participating in the IMT Des Moines Marathon and half-marathon on Oct. 18. Tyler Wishau, D.P.M.’14, participated in the half-marathon while juggling three balls; he’s a longtime participant and international competitor in “joggling,” an officially recognized track event.
DMU students and faculty also staffed the DMU Mobile Clinic as a first aid station at the 37th annual Living History Farms Off-Road Races on Nov. 21. Dubbed the biggest cross country race in North America, the seven-mile event — a fundraiser for the central Iowa attraction — draws up to 7,500 participants, many in costume, who wade through creeks, dodge animals and crawl their way over gullies.
