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

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!

My speed is a gift from God, and I run for His glory. Whatever I do, it all comes from him.

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.

Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.

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

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