James only ran two seasons of cross country, is sophomore and senior years. As a sophomore, James qualified to the CIF State Championship at Woodward Park.

"James has shown great initiative since joining us this summer for conditioning. He comes from a small school so having additional teammates of all abilities is helping him develop quickly. He's got great leg speed so it will only be a matter of time when the endurance portion of our training kicks in and he sees some amazing times."
