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.

My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.

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

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've heard so many stories of young girls watching the Olympics and being inspired by it, and they want to do it now, and that's really cool.
