Season 6, Episode 4: A conversation with former Dubuque Hempstead and Wartburg College runner Shaelyn Hostager
Episode 4
Monday, 9 March, 2026

Shaelyn comes on the podcast to talk about the wild Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference indoor meet that included a 5,000 title, her third NSIC title, and much more than she bargained for. The Dubuque Hempstead grad describes what her strategy was coming into the meet and her approach to races. The Wartburg College and Minnesota-Duluth 10,000 record holder tells how an injury changed the trajectory of her college career in Waverly and how time away from running has been beneficial. Shaelyn gives her biggest win that came out of her last meet as a collegian and how long she thinks her Wartburg record might stand. She talks about the thinking that went into choosing Minnesota-Duluth. Shaelyn also tries to take a guess at what Duluth is famous for. Shaelyn and Lance also play a fun game. Listen to see who won!
