"Everyone cheers for their alma mater, and I want him to run well but it's beyond that," said Robison. "It wouldn't matter what school James attended. We're very motivated to give people opportunities to run well and do some good things." "You race and you plan to win, and that's his goal," said his mother, Karen Corrigan. "Wherever he lands, we're just always so happy to support him in all of his endeavors."
"Go Cougar Nation, and thank you guys so much and everyone in Philadelphia for coming out, I really really appreciate it," said Corrigan.
