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.

When I was younger, Jackie Joyner-Kersee was a mentor to me and gave me great advice. The best was to 'work 100 percent, but enjoy every moment along the way.' Sometimes you get so in the zone, you forget to enjoy your passions. I love running—but I also love the movies, relaxing on the beach, shopping and spending time with my friends. Enjoying my life helps me enjoy my running.

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

For me, my faith is the reason I run. I definitely feel I have this amazing gift that God has blessed me with, and it's all about using it to the best of my ability.

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

I love the relays. Track is such an individual sport, so it's fun to do something together.

Everyone sees the glory moments, but they don't see what happens behind the scenes.
