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 think that kids aren't even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don't even know what they could do.

I'm always nervous. If I wasn't nervous, it would be weird. I get the same feeling at all the big races. It's part of the routine, and I accept it. It means I'm there and I'm ready.

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

I think every genius person has a bit of insanity.

There was a race that I was running in Mexico City and I was the only high school athlete running against grown women. It was a professional race, but I ended up winning. That was kind of a turning point for me where I felt like, "Okay, I'm pretty good at this and there's a possibility for this to be a career for me." That was a defining moment for me.

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