Hurdler Cordell Tinch was selling cell phones two years ago, now he's competing at Olympic trials

Cordell Tinch is hoping to secure a spot on Team USA to compete in the 110-meter hurdles at the Paris games. But his road there was winding. During the pandemic, he left his college program and moved home to Green Bay, working for a moving company, and selling cell phones. He returned to the track in 2023, and five months later, ran the fastest time in the world that year. NBC News' Sam Brock reports.
