Lance recorded an unprecedented number of interviews - 11 - from the Friday, Jan. 23 indoor meet at Iowa State. He starts the podcast with news on Cedar Falls senior and Iowa State commit Jaden Merrick, who gave up his final season of eligibility to compete in - and win - the 3,000. Merrick tells his reasons for making the move. Former Drake standout Emilie Meyer talks about joining Minnesota Distance Elite and what's on the horizon. He talks to Air Force officer Jason Renze, a former Madrid prep who set a new mile personal record and is now based in Omaha. Lance corrals Drake assistant track coach Hannah Weiss, who provides her views on the program and if she wants to lead a program again. Nikki Borner of Indianola finished second overall in the 3,000 in 9:59 and Lance finds out what is ahead for the 40-year-old mother of four who topped almost all of the collegians. The podcast ends with former Simpson College and Ames High runner Ean Warrick telling how he is juggling a new job with competing at a high level.
