State Track

This location was absolutely perfect to stay during state track. a 5-minute drive to Drake University made this location so desirable. Centrally located in Des Moines we had a lot of options for dining during our down time. The house is very spacious and gave us all our own space to relax after the track sessions. The younger kids absolutely loved the game room in the basement.
