I am a championship-winning distance runner and scholar-athlete currently training and competing in the United States after developing my athletic and academic foundation in South Africa.I compete in cross country and track while maintaining a 3.97 GPA with AP coursework. I was named Washington County Runner of the Year (2025), Maryland XC Champion, Varsity Cross Country MVP, and earned multiple first-place finishes at the county, conference, and state level.I continue to pursue long-term excellence with discipline and intention—training with elite methodologies, prioritizing biomechanics, recovery, and consistency, and holding myself to the same high standards in academics and leadership. My goal is to contribute immediately to a university community through performance, humility, and sustained growth.

Endurance & Special Challenges

JAMES MIREMBE

I successfully completed the 4×4×48 Goggins Challenge, an endurance event requiring participants to run four miles every four hours for forty-eight consecutive hours. Completing this challenge demanded sustained physical output, disciplined recovery, and mental resilience over an extended period of sleep deprivation and fatigue.This effort reflects the same mindset I bring to training and competition: consistency under pressure, commitment to process, and the ability to perform when conditions are difficult.
