I grew up in my mom's third grade classroom and always helping her, and I also got a passion for kids that way.

The biggest way I stay motivated is to run with a group of friends. Sometimes it's hard to get going by yourself, but if you have a plan and a meeting time, you know this run will happen for sure. It's a way to have fun - while also getting in a workout. Plus it distracts from pain, helps you fight fatigue, and gives you that extra push.

Most people don't think about plyometrics when they think about powerful strength. But I do lots of them to build mine.

I have learned that track doesn't define me. My faith defines me. I'm running because I have been blessed with a gift.

I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.
