Defying The Odds: The Story Of James Corrigan & How He Made The Olympic Team In Stunning Fashion Jul 11, 2024

Show notes

Today on the podcast is newly minted Olympian James Corrigan!

James has had quite the wild past few months going from 9th at the NCAA Meet to placing third at the US Olympic Trials. Because James didn't have the Olympic standard or enough world ranking points, he had less than a week to chase the Olympic Standard time. James flew out to Penn and got the job done, qualifying for his first Olympic Games in Paris.

James has run 4:01 in the Mile (at altitude), 8:13 in the steeplechase, 13:30 in the 5k, and was an All-American in his first NCAA Cross Country Championships.

James will be a junior this upcoming fall at BYU.

In today's conversation, James takes me through his wild last month, from making the Olympics to getting married and everything in between. We break down his remarkable performance at the US Olympic Trials and document what it took to get to that place.

Show notes

Back on the podcast is NCAA Champion Parker Wolfe!

Parker won the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Title in the 5k, taking down debately one of the most stacked fields of all time.

Parker also placed 9th at the 2023 NCAA XC National Championships, set a bunch of new PRs, and placed 2nd in both the 5k and 3k at the 2024 NCAA Indoor National Championships.

I always thoroughly enjoy my conversations with Parker and walk away feeling inspired.
