  • The Running Mom

    Most mother's of four have little energy to crawl into bed after a typical day of being Mom. Kelly Knight on the other hand gets her four kids – ranging in age from 8 to 18 – off to school and her day has just begun.

    Knight is an Iowa Western Community College sophomore studying to be a paramedic. Oh, and she happens to be ranked nationally in the 3,000-meters for the Reiver track team.

    To say Knight, 37, took an unlikely path to college long distance runner is putting it mildly.

    For the second game in a row the Glenwood boys soccer team used an overpowering offensive game to score five goals, this time downing Kuemper Catholic 5-2 in Carroll on Thursday.

    “Our focus wasn’t there to open the game,” said Selvey. “Maybe it was being out of town or staying the night in a hotel, but we didn’t stay focused.”
