I think it's very important, even if you're not in organized sports, but just to be active, to be healthy.

I know that they [Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Florence Griffith-Joyner and even Wilma Rudolph] have paved the way and they have been a source of inspiration.

I'm passionate about my sport and grateful that I get to do it for a living.

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.

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.

Everyone sees the glory moments, but they don't see what happens behind the scenes.

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.
