On Thursday, Rob Kardashian turned 24, but MTV asked the reality star to rewind the clock a few years and reflect on life at 17.

In the new episode of "When I Was 17," Kim, Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian's baby brother revealed that he was quite the athlete, albeit it a hot-tempered one, seven years ago when he competed in his high school's cross-country team.

As Rob's stepfather, Bruce Jenner, told MTV, "Rob had a very good cross-country career, and he won a lot of big races."

One of those big wins lead Rob and his teammates to a championship race during his senior year. "No one had ever done that in our school, so that was a big accomplishment," he said.

But, things were about to go terribly awry for Rob at the three-plus-mile race in which, as Bruce recalled, there were "hundreds and hundreds of people there."

"At the end of a lot of races, the runners tend to just stop right after the finish line," Rob explained, "but the officials want to keep you going because you're holding up the guys that are behind you."

Unfortunately, Rob was about to have a collision with one of those very officials — literally! After an impressive finish in the top 20 runners, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star's arm was grabbed by an official.

That didn't sit well with Rob, who was already feeling "exhausted and probably about to vomit." After yelling at the official to "Get your f---in' hands off me" and throwing him to the ground, Rob and the rest of his teammates were disqualified from the race.

Watch Rob Kardashian, "Top Chef" judge Padma Lakshmi and daytime talk-show host Wendy Williams recall more stories from their high school years in a new episode of "When I Was 17," airing at 11 a.m. Saturday on MTV.
