JoJo Jourdon Speaks After Breaking 4 Minutes In The Mile As A High Schooler

Back on the podcast is the newest Sub 4 kid, JoJo Jourdon!

On February 3rd, he won the 2024 New Balance Grand Prix in a time of 3:59.87. JoJo became the first Utah high school runner to break the four-minute mile barrier.

JoJo was the 2023 Men's NXN Champion and won in stunning fashion. He came out of the mud on top and that was just the start. He's also run 1:55.55 in the 800m and 8:46.87 in the 2-Mile. Lastly, he won the 2023 Utah 5A XC State Champ, 2023. 

JoJo is committed to run for Wake Forest this upcoming Fall where he'll join a Rockey Hansen who also broke four minutes in the mile as a high schooler last year.

In today's conversation, we recap his historic race, not winning Gatorade state or national player of the year, his training leading into the race, his amibtions for the rest of the year, and so much more!

Don't miss this one.
