Dubuque nurse chosen as Iowa’s hero for Iowa Nebraska football game

News, Sports

November 27th, 2019 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) — A nurse from Dubuque who helped save a man’s life in March is Iowa’s hero chosen to be honored at halftime of the Iowa-Nebraska football game Friday. Katie Gudenkauf says it started as she was talking with a friend at an indoor soccer tournament on the Clarke University campus in Dubuque. “We were just about to leave when someone yelled up from the court down below that someone had collapsed. So myself and Becky Noethe went down — she’s a nurse as well,” she says. Jake Tebbe was the player who went down during the game. “Jake was kind of on the sideline and his teammates were around him and they didn’t really know what had happened to him,” Gudenkauf says. “So we kind of looked him over and were looking for a pulse — and neither of us found one — and his teammates started C-P-R.”

She says she asked someone to go get the automatic external defibrillator or A-E-D, and her other friend Ally quickly found it. She used it to shock Jake’s heart two times. “He had a pulse before he left the gym and is doing well now. It’s just wonderful how a good team responds like that. Several people who had medical experience were able to help Jake — just everyone working together,” Gudenkauf says.

The Red Cross takes nominations to honor two people at what’s become called the Hy-Vee Heroes Game. Katie’s two friends put together a video to nominate her for the award. “And I was so surprised that they called me back and I said that this has been chosen,” she says. “I actually hadn’t even heard about this, so I went back in and looked at all the Iowa hero videos. And it’s so cool that they do such a thing to show the good that’s going on.” Gudenkauf is hesitant to call herself a hero because she says it was a group of people with medical training that were able to come together when someone needed them. “It’s hard to say that because I feel like in any situation I would never not help. I am just so glad that Jake is doing so well and that we were all there to be able to help him that day,” Gudenkauf says.

She says she doesn’t watch a lot of football, but is looking forward to traveling to Lincoln, Nebraska Friday to cheer on the Hawkeyes. Gudenkauf was telling her friends Ally and Becky that she found out she was pregnant on that day when they were called down to the field to help Jake. Her son is about ten weeks old now, and she says this is going to be a good story to tell him when he gets older.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — David McCormack scored 16 points, Ochai Agbaji added 14 and No. 4 Kansas turned a big second half into a trip to the Maui Invitational title game with a 71-56 victory over Brigham Young. The Jayhawks dominated inside against the smaller Cougars and did a good job of rotating out to their shooters to earn a shot at their third Maui Invitational championship.

UNDATED (AP) — No. 7 Oklahoma is already locked into a chance to win its fifth consecutive Big 12 title. The Sooners need to finish the regular season with a win in their Bedlam rivalry game at No. 21 Oklahoma State if they are going to have any chance to get back in the College Football Playoff. Iowa State and Kansas State both carry seven wins into their “Farmageddon” rivalry game.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) — The Battle 4 Atlantis opens with four ranked teams playing in an early season test through the Thanksgiving holiday. Sixth-ranked North Carolina, eighth-ranked Gonzaga, No. 11 Oregon and No. 13 Seton Hall headline the eight-team tournament at the Atlantis resort. Alabama, Iowa State, Michigan and Southern Miss round out the field in the tournament that starts Wednesday and runs through Friday. The past two Atlantis champions have gone on to win the national title.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The NCAA has rejected an appeal by the University of Missouri to limit or overturn sanctions for infractions tied to the case of a former tutor. That means postseason bans along with recruiting and scholarship reductions will remain in place for football, baseball and softball. The Tigers’ basketball programs were not involved in the case. The school says it is appalled by the decision.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have changed hands from David Glass to an ownership group led by John Sherman and that includes actor Eric Stonestreet and a several local businessmen. The purchase of the Royals for approximately $1 billion was approved unanimously by the owners of the other big league clubs at their meeting last Thursday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Kamar Baldwin scored 22 points, including the game-winner with five seconds left which lifted Butler past Stanford 68-67 to win the Hall of Fame Classic. Baldwin scored the Bulldogs final six points in the last 1½ minutes, closing out the win with a pullup jumper over the outstretched hands of Daejon Davis from about 18 feet on the right wing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Austin Reaves had 19 points and 10 rebounds, Brady Manek contributed 17 points and Oklahoma hold off Missouri 77-66 in the consolation game of the Hall of Fame Classic. Kristian Doolittle scored 14 points and Alondes Williams added 12 as the Sooners led wire-to-wire.

CANCUN, Mexico (AP) — Miles McBride came off the bench to score 18 points and hand out five assists and West Virginia overcame a 15-point second-half deficit to beat Northern Iowa 60-55 in the Cancun Challenge. The Mountaineers (5-0) trailed 42-27 after Northern Iowa’s Isaiah Brown buried a 3-pointer with 10:31 remaining in the second half.
