The team was on its way back home from Milwaukee after placing 2nd in the NCAA national meet. The plane crashed around 5 p.m. and killed the pilot, three members of the the Iowa State Women's Cross Country Team, two coaches and a trainer.
The memorial was held where at the exact spot the plane went down at the intersection of Country Club Boulevard and Shriver Avenue.
There's also excitement because on Wednesday a new park was unveiled in honor of the seven victims.
