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

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

I've got to make sure I'm keeping weight on.

I definitely think I put more pressure on myself. I can be hard on myself and super-critical and very rarely satisfied or happy. I am my biggest critic.

It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though; I was just focused on making it to the state finals!

My faith is the reason I run - it calms my heart and makes everything feel like a lift. My speed is definitely a gift from Him, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, He allows me to do it.

For me, it's really important to be able to compete on the highest level.
