Minneapolis/St. Paul – May 28, 2019 – Team USA Minnesota’s Dakota Lindwurm and Danny Docherty splashed through the rain on Memorial Day morning to take the wins at the 22nd annual Brian Kraft Memorial 5k that was held at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. In addition, teammate Tyler Jermann was second in the men’s field.
