Minnesota head women's rowing coach Wendy Davis walked into her office this morning only to find a giant wallaby waiting for her arrival. Wiley Wallaby, the Austailian Style Liquorice mascot, made the trip to campus to present Coach Davis with a gift basket in honor of her heroic acts on the Mississippi River in June.

Davis, assistant coach Peter Morgan and two student-athletes rescued a woman from the fast-flowing Mississippi River in the early morning of June 18. Read more on Davis' story here.

Wiley Wallaby Australian Style Liquorice is a product of KLN Family Brands, who's headquarters are located in Perham, Minn.
