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


Listen Later

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.
