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

I focused solely on the sprints, dedicated my time there, got in the weight room, just really did everything I could to make sure I would be in the best position to run for gold.

I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.

If I wasn't active and involved in different sports and just moving around, I wouldn't have even known that I had the potential to become an Olympian.

It was all kind of a whirlwind at the beginning. I didn't really realize that I had a special gift from God. It was probably towards the end of high school in my senior year when things really started to come together and I realized that I had more potential and that I could do this as a career and that the Olympics were a possibility.

My mom always has this amazing ability to always see the best in a situation.

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