Stop Me Project

Howdy & aloha! We’re joined by Coach James Majenge, Head Cross Country Coach at Ranger College (@rangersxctf1926).  In just two seasons, Majenge has guided the Ranger women to a conference title and top-12 NJCAA finish, while leading the men to a top-15 national finish and producing multiple All-Americans and national qualifiers.We dig into his journey from South Africa → JUCO → NCAA All-American, mentoring international student-athletes, building a culture of family and discipline, and how Ranger’s small-town gravel-loop training grounds have become a distance runner’s dream.HighlightsOrigin story & culture shock arriving in New YorkRecruiting international and local athletes to West TexasTeam bonding & Friday ugali nights
