My name is Ben Blankenship and I am a 2016 Olympian specializing in the 1500m in track & field. I grew up in Minnesota but now live and train in Eugene, Oregon. I am committed to relentlessly pursuing a path of becoming the greatest athlete I can be. I work hard on behalf of a sport and a community I love. I’ve represented my high school, college, and country at the highest of levels. I’ve had many incredible opportunities along the way, but my focus remains fixed on the opportunities ahead!
