As a junior in 2017, he placed second in the 800-meter and third in the 400-meter for Kenmare-Bowbells at the North Dakota state meet.

Also a second-team all-state performer in football and basketball, Rodin was the valedictorian of his graduating class at Kenmare High. He posted high school personal-best times of 49.49 seconds in the 400-meter and 1:55.03 in the 800-meter run.
