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.

Being a role model is a privilege.

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.

I love the relays. Track is such an individual sport, so it's fun to do something together.

I feel like I'm always going to be me. It always goes back to being the person that I am. And I hope that will never change.

I've got to make sure I'm keeping weight on.

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