THAT’S OUR GOPHER! 〽️ Abby Kohut-Jackson is headed to the #USATFOutdoors 3K steeplechase FINAL with a season-best time of 9:47.65‼️ #JourneyToGold

This. Is. Gold. 🤩🤩 Did her first pain free run in mid-May…now we’re onto the final 😳😳😳😳😳

12th in the whole freaking country… Two sub 9:50 steeples in three days after a **less than ideal** training build! Could not be more proud of this woman!! What a fighter and the epitome of what Minnesota distance running is all about! Walk-on to US Champs finalist 〽️💪🏼 Abby Kohut-Jackson

Two B1G names coming to Charlevoix!

Dangggg racing with no hurdles feels kinda nice 😜 4:26 for a road mile debut and big overall mile PR! Madeline Strandemo and I have had a weird few months but Sarah Hopkins (she/her) has mastered the art of my taper and her return to racing… in the same race 😅

Can’t wait!

BOOM 💥 First sub-4:00 for Alec Basten 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Excited to finally share this work with the world! HUGE thank you to @GreisingLab for trusting me to lead this project and to the rest of the coauthors and @Call_LabUGA for the countless hours they poured in to make it happen.

Huuuuuuge thank you to Justin M. Barnes & co for helping launch me to this awesome opportunity at #ASCO24! TLDR: state paid leave policy implementation is associated with earlier cancer diagnoses and better overall survival 🤩

Very grateful for this opportunity at #ASTRO24 to present our work on paid medical leave and improved survival in patients with cancer! Huuuuge thank you to Justin M. Barnes Fumiko Ladd Chino, MD, FASCO & the other amazing coauthors for their support and guidance on this project ☺️
