Kevin Hansen, one of our sports turf students, was chosen for the Toro Super Bowl Sports Turf Training Program this year. As part of this, he will work for 7 days to help prepare for the Super Bowl and will be on the side-lines for the game. Only one student nation-wide is selected for this honor.
This has been getting a lot of publicity locally. Here are links to the Des Moines Register story and a press release by the university.
Watch for him at the game.
