You know, I love wearing heels. I wish I could wear them all the time, but, you know, my sport doesn't really permit it.

I don't have a sprinter's body.

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.

I try to think about my goals. I think about my competitors-I know they're working hard, and if they are, I have to work hard too. I have to be one step ahead of them.

I'm an athlete who's very determined and I understand sacrifice.

I know that I wasn't bred to be an Olympian. I didn't start running until high school, and I just stumbled upon to.

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.
