BYU Cougars' Kenneth Rooks' journey to becoming a U.S. steeplechase champion is incredible. He talks to Jason Shepherd about the spiritual lessons he learned from his insane comeback after falling during the U.S. Track and Field Championship and how he broke Henry Marsh's old BYU records. He also talks about growing up as an only child in Walla Walla, Washington, playing various sports in high school, serving a unique mission, and choosing to run for Brigham Young University.
