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

My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.

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

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.

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

I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.

I grew up in my mom's third grade classroom and always helping her, and I also got a passion for kids that way.
