Benton Lindaman | Des Moines Register Staff Blogs


Benton Lindaman Des Moines Register Staff Blogs
I included this as something I read because this article talks about an all around great young man, Ben Lindaman. I have watched Ben grow up as an athlete and a young man of character. He went through orientation at UNI last week. My daughter works on orientation staff, she said, "I love Ben. He has his head on straight." The article asks where Ben practices the javelin. We know the answer. Ben has participated in West Side Track Club since he was first eligible as a seven year-old. I have seen with a turbo javelin. I hope I don't offend the Lindamans, but I think it was made by Nerf. As a young boy, Ben threw that thing well and that has moved into a young man, throwing the real thing well. I include this, because of all the things that I read on my RSS, this was the most interesting to me. Ben is the kind of role-model young people should look to. He is an example of hard work paying off. He is not only a great track athlete, he is also a great swimmer, singer, dancer and person. Ben is one to watch at UNI next fall.
