From humble hustle to steeplechase sensation, James Corrigan is rewriting the script.
Born in Los Angeles and now a force at Brigham Young University, James has quickly made his mark in the 3000-meter steeplechase. In just the past year, he placed third in the U.S. Olympic Trials, secured his Olympic standard in a last-chance race at the Penn Relays, represented Team USA in Paris, and most recently, he became the NCAA Championwith a blistering 8:16 performance.
We're looking at a mission-serving, faith-centered student of mechanical engineering who has managed to balance it all (Olympic pressure, NCAA podiums, and viral "Sunday Night Live" faith content) while staying grounded and inspiring a generation of young runners.
He juggles, he hurdles, and he races for something bigger.
This is the story of resilience, belief, and barrier-breaking speed.
James Corrigan is in The Running Effect house. And he's just getting started.
Let's get into it.
In today's conversation, James takes me through his NCAA title, his training leading into it, training with Olympic Medalist Kenneth Rooks, his mindset going into USA's, being married and a dad while in college, and much more.
This is an inside look into the mind of one of the best runners not just in the NCAA, but in the country.
