High-Speed Chase Ends West Of Oskaloosa

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

Oskaloosa, Iowa – A call came over the police radio that Iowa County Deputies were in a high-speed chase with a Fiat at approximately 100 miles-per-hour.

Law enforcement scrambled to deploy stop sticks, and the suspect avoided one set placed by Mahaska County deputies east of Oskaloosa. An Oskaloosa police officer was able to deflate the front passenger tire of the Fiat as it entered the city.

The chase proceeded through Oskaloosa at high speed before the suspect turned west onto Highway 163 from Highway 92.

A Mahaska County deputy who was in front of the suspect’s Fiat was rammed in the bumper area of his police truck. The deputy took the suspect into a ditch, where the car nearly ended up in a small pond as it came to a stop. The deputies vehicle sustained minor damage.

The suspect’s name had not been released at the time of writing, but this information will be updated, along with the list of charges the suspect may be facing and information on why the pursuit was initiated.

Race For The Chase Rols On To Michigan International Speedway

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

Just three Sprint Cup Series races remain in the regular season and four spots are still open on The Chase Grid for non-race winners to fill heading into Sunday’s Pure Michigan 400.  Twelve drivers have been victorious thus far in 2016: Matt Kenseth, Kyle and Kurt Busch, Carl Edwards, Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Martin Truex Junior, Denny Hamlin, Tony Stewart and Chris Buescher.  All are within the requisite top thirty of the standings, which currently leaves a maximum of four post-season spots available based on the point standings.  Ryan Newman holds a thirty-five-point lead over Trevor Bayne in the fight for what would be the final “playoff” spot.  In this year’s first race at Michigan on June 12th, Newman finished eleventh and Bayne placed fifteenth … If the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup began today, Austin Dillon, rookie Chase Elliott and Jamie McMurray would hold the three other spots.  Any driver who hasn’t yet won but reaches Victory Lane in one of the next three races would qualify for the post-season, provided that driver was among the top thirty in points, and would reduce the number of spots available based on the regular-season standings.

Kevin Harvick Was “The Closer” Sunday At Bristol

Posted on by KBOE Administrator

Kevin Harvick lived up to an old nickname of “The Closer” on Sunday at Bristol, taking command in the second half of the race and leading the final seventy-one laps to notch his second victory of the season.  The race ended some twenty-three hours after it originally started on Saturday night, when just forty-eight laps were run before rain moved in and pushed the event to a late-afternoon green flag on Sunday.  Kyle Busch started third and was dominant throughout the first half of the race, leading 184 of the first 250 laps.  But what appeared to be a broken part on the suspension of his Number-18 Toyota sent the car spinning across the track.  Contact from Justin Allgaier ended Busch’s day with a thirty-ninth-place finish.  Harvick entered the fray soon after, charging from his Number-24 starting spot to grab his first lead at Lap-286 of five hundred.  Harvick ran consistently among the top five the rest of the way, passing Denny Hamlin seventy-one laps from the finish and never looking back to record his thirty-third career win – loosening Joe Gibbs Racing’s tight hold on short-track competition in 2016.  Before Sunday, J-G-R had won all three races run on ovals less than one mile in length … Harvick’s margin of victory over runner-up Ricky Stenhouse Junior was two seconds with Hamlin finishing third, Austin Dillon fourth and rookie Chris Buescher fifth – which lifted him into thirtieth place in the point standings as he now becomes eligible for a post-season Chase berth with his win at Pocono earlier this month.

2015 Heart Finish:8th out of 12
Letterwinners returning/lost: 4/5

Notable returners:
Payton Busch               Sr.        Centerville, Iowa
(Letterwinner, season-best 8K 27:56)
Zack Johnson               Jr.        Decatur, Ill.
(Letterwinner, season-best 8K 28:43)
Garrett Heckman           Jr.        New Virginia, Iowa
(Letterwinner, season-best 8K 28:18)
Cameron Shade            Fr.        Riverdale, Ga.
(Redshirted in 2015)

Notable losses:
Ochaung Akway
(Two-time national qualifier)

Notable newcomers:
Jamal Boma                  Sr.        Des Moines, Iowa
Filmon Bayene              Fr.        Houston, Texas
Mykael Holliman            Fr.        Rockford, Ill.
Terry Jackson               Fr.        Houston, Alaska

Slowly but surely, the Statesmen men’s cross country team is building a contender and the program will look to take another step towards the top in 2016.

William Penn, headed by Sean Gosewisch, finished a disappointing eighth at last year’s Heart of America Athletic Conference Championships, but strength is back, including top returner Payton Busch (Sr., Centerville, Iowa, Secondary Education).  The Statesmen will unfortunately have to replace two-time national qualifier Ochaung Akway, which Gosewisch feels is possible with talented newcomer Jamal Boma (Sr., Des Moines, Iowa).

Busch’s top 8K time was 27:56; he finished as high as sixth at the Grand View Invitational.  He will be flanked by two-time letterwinners Zack Johnson (Jr., Decatur, Ill., Mechanical Engineering) and Garrett Heckman (Jr., New Virginia, Iowa, Mechanical Engineering).  They were an interchangeable 3-4 last fall with Johnson posting a top time of 28:43 and Heckman at 28:18.

Cameron Shade (Fr., Riverdale, Ga., Sociology) redshirted a year ago and should be in the mix, while Jeremy Mooney (Sr., Clinton, Iowa, Physical Education) provides the squad with a lot of past experience.  Mooney’s fastest 8K finish is 29:34.

A handful of newcomers will also vie for spots in the top seven, including Filmon Beyene (Fr., Houston, Texas), Mykael Holliman (Fr., Rockford, Ill.), Terry Jackson (Fr., Houston, Alaska, Biology), Robert Rosebud (Fr., Southaven, Miss., Physical Education), and David Williams (Fr., Victor, Iowa, Secondary Education).

Schedule/Conference

The 2016 schedule is identical to 2015 with the Augustana Twilight again serving as the opener on September 2.  The Heart Championships will be hosted by Mount Mercy, therefore basically making the NAIA Seminole Valley Stampede on October 22 a preview meet.  Benedictine and Mount Mercy are favored to be at the top of the standings in November.
