Joseph Fahnbulleh On Being The Fastest Man In The NCAA After Winning The 100 Meters, 200 Meters + Team Title For Florida

“Becoming a champion is a byproduct of becoming a team player. Everyone has to play a role and do their own part.”

This past weekend, Florida’s Joseph Fahnbulleh won the 100 and 200 meters at the NCAA Track and Field Championships. He won the 100 meters in a personal best of 10 seconds. He won the 200 meters in 19.83 seconds, which is the fourth-fastest in collegiate history. Florida won the team title with 54 points. Last summer, Fahnbulleh competed for Liberia at the Tokyo Olympics. We touch on all of that, his roots as a distance runner in Minnesota, his goals for the World Championships and much more including your listener questions.
