Raised in an Alaskan commercial fishing family, Lani’s appreciation of fitness started at a young age picking salmon nets around the clock. Eventually trading waders for spikes, Lani attended the University of Nebraska (Go Huskers!), where she was a NCAA Division I track and field athlete. Lani competed in the pentathlon and heptathlon, earning all-conference honors in both indoor and outdoor seasons all four years. She also was elected team captain of the track and field team in her final year of competition. Lani went on to earn a DMD from Oregon Health Sciences University and is also a certified personal trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine.
