Season 4, Episode 11: A conversation with Iowa graduate student Alli Bookin-Nosbisch

Alli jumps on the podcast on her 22nd birthday, and Lance has a surprise for her. The former Ottumwa state champion is asked about her training group and what she has learned from former Big Ten champion Mallory Lindaman. She tells of the differences between her and twin sister Grace, who also runs for the Hawkeyes, and how they got started in running. Alli tells a funny story of how her first track meet didn't go so well and how the experience instead fostered a love for track and field. Alli details her prep career in basketball and synchronized swimming and provides her favorite places to eat in Ottumwa. Alli has a Caitlyn Clark story to tell and also provides her prep basketball career highlight that came at the expense of a current Hawkeyes player. Alli also looks ahead to this weekend's Big Ten meet and then West Prelims as she eyes her first trip to nationals in Eugene, Oregon.
