Mikey Brannigan Documentary to Air on E:60

It’s not everyday a runner gets featured by ESPN’s award-winning primetime sports magazine.

But if anyone deserves it, it’s Mikey Brannigan.

You would be hard-pressed to find someone with a more compelling story.

The 19-year-old East Northport resident, who has autism, became one of the nation’s top prep runners during his time at Northport High School and has continued to make a name for himself after graduating in June.

E:60 is documenting Brannigan’s story for the world to see.

In the trailer preview on Facebook, E:60 writes, “Mikey Brannigan can run a mile in almost 4 minutes flat. But it’s his spirit, not his speed, that makes him unforgettable.”

“I have a talent from God,” Brannigan says in the trailer. “It’s like a work of art.”

Catch the viewing Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.
