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!

Every moment is not great and sometimes those are the moments in which you learn the most.

Competing at the Olympics is the pinnacle of your career. Everything is amplified, and you feel so proud to represent your country. You're there with athletes from all over the world. Everyone is coming together, putting differences aside.

I love a great pair of jeans and a nice blouse.

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

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

I always look back to my first Olympic medal in 2004 in Athens. I was very new to the sport, and it was my first big win at the Olympics.
