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

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!

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.

I think that kids aren't even exploring the option of sports anymore, and they don't even know what they could do.

Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.

I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.

I focused solely on the sprints, dedicated my time there, got in the weight room, just really did everything I could to make sure I would be in the best position to run for gold.
