I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.

Competing at the Olympics is the pinnacle of your career. Everything is amplified, and you feel so proud to represent your country. You're there with athletes from all over the world. Everyone is coming together, putting differences aside.

As you get older, there are going to be a few more challenges, but thankfully I'm still feeling good.

The pressure is hard. You get - the world is only watching every four years, and I think lots of people feel like they have to win in that time frame.

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.

Most people don't think about plyometrics when they think about powerful strength. But I do lots of them to build mine.

My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.
