Sorensen's race to stardom was rather slow. In high school he was moderately successful, finishing in 6th place in the 800 metres (1:52.38) at the 1986 CIF California State Meet while running for Villa Park High School. (Youtube video of that race ). He then ran for Santa Ana College and Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, eventually achieving a Division II NCAA Championship at 1500 metres in 1991. He became the 190th American to join the 4 minute mile club in a race in San Francisco in 1993. His time was 3:59.70.〔(Sub-4:00 with Jim Sorensen | Running Times Magazine ). Runningtimes.com (December 17, 2010). Retrieved on October 25, 2011.〕 He qualified for and competed at the US Track and Field Championships from 1993 to 1997. By 1996 he was the No. 4 ranked 1500 metre runner in the United States.〔http://www.trackandfieldnews.com/rankings/men/1500usranking.pdf〕 His lifetime personal records (PR's) for 800 metres, 1500 metres, one mile, 3000 metres, and 5000 metres are 1:47.24, 3:38.65, 3:59.16, 8:09.00, and 14:10.17, respectively.
==Olympic pursuit==
He ran in the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials, finishing a "surprising" second place by .02 seconds in a tight "kicker's" race. After finishing the race in Atlanta, Georgia's heat and humidity, Sorensen was carted away from the finish line. To add insult to his injury, because he did not achieve the "A" standard, Sorensen did not get to run in the Olympics, his berth being given to Brian Hyde,〔http://www.usatf.org/statistics/champions/OlympicTrials/HistoryOfTheOlympicTrials.pdf〕 though his 22 day pursuit of the qualifying time netted him his lifetime personal record of 3:38.65, .65 slower than the qualifying standard.〔
