She did what!?

A conversation with Busiwa Asinga about the pressures of being a female division 1 runner

Viviane de Castro

In today's episode, I was joined by my amazing friend, Busiwa Asinga. Siwa is a division one runner at Drake University. Just last week she made history running her season-best of 59.55 seconds to become the first-ever Drake Bulldog to win the women's 400-meter hurdles at the Missouri Valley Conference Championships. In this episode, you'll hear her speak about the pressures that come with being a female d1 runner, personal pressures that come with being a daughter of two olympians, and how we can better support athletes battling mental health problems.
