I'm an athlete who's very determined and I understand sacrifice.

The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God's plan seems like it doesn't make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.

I want to run for eternal glory and track is great, but it's not what life is all about.

I feel like my name completely does not belong on that list [of great athlets], but I'm completely grateful for everything that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have done.

I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.

I think I'm a person who is proud of my [Christian] faith and where I come from.

I am a sprinter, and I love to go fast. It's very difficult for me to be patient and follow a race strategy or conserve energy.
