    Today on the podcast is your 2023 US National Champion in the Steeple as well as your 2023 NCAA 3k Steeple Men's Champion, Kenneth Rooks!


    Kenneth Rooks is a standout athlete in the NCAA and now, after winning his first US title, in the world. Having just won his first NCAA title in Austin, accomplishing multiple All-American honors and multiple top-10 records at Brigham Young University, he has established himself as a formidable force. Rooks excels in the steeplechase and played a crucial role in BYU's record-breaking Distance Medley Relay team. He has also made his mark academically and through his missionary service in Uganda and Utah. His high school accolades, including state championships and record-breaking performances, foreshadowed his collegiate success. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Kenneth Rooks is leaving an indelible mark on the world of collegiate athletics.


    In this episode, Kenneth walks me through his incredible performance at the NCAA Championships, his faith and mission, his start in the sport, future ambitions, and more. I learned a lot from this conversation and had a great time talking with Kenneth. I hope you all enjoy!
