Glad you outlined the Becker/Petersen clan's deep roots in Dike and Dike-NewHartford volleyballs success. Bobbi also has sisters who played.

Also, in addition to Coach Bluder heading up the Drake women's program before going to Iowa City, she is a member of the UNI Athletics Hall of Fame. Kinda sorta like Coach Gable wrestling for that school 130 miles west of Iowa City that wears Cardinal and Gold and is named for a meteorological event (no, not the Simpson Storm, go a little further north up I-35) before becoming Hawkeye wrestling coach. The U of I's sister institutions have made big contributions to Hawkeye athletic success.
