THE KENNETH ROOKS SPECIAL IS HERE
Kenneth won Silver at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the Men's Steeplechase. He ran an incredibly gutsy race coming through the line in 8:06.41.
A month prior, he was first at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Trials in the steeplechase with a time of 8:21.92.
Kenneth competed for BYU before becoming a professional with NIKE. He was the 2023 NCAA DI steeplechase National Champion, a Four-time All-American (three outdoor, one indoor), and holds three BYU top-10 records: No. 1 in the steeplechase (8:17.62), No. 1 as part of BYU's DMR squad (9:21.18) and No. 7 in the indoor Mile (3:59.65).
In today's conversation, Kenneth takes me through his Olympic Silver performance, everything that led up to it this year, his ambitions for the future, exclusive stories from the Olympic Village, and much more!
