I was a disruptive child.

Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

I am a big believer in visualization. I run through my races mentally so that I feel even more prepared.

I think every genius person has a bit of insanity.

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.

There are moments that aren't great. And I think it's amazing for people to be able to have some insight, to be able to see the support system and what really happens.

It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though; I was just focused on making it to the state finals!
