I used biomechanics to save time when I was competing.

I didn't get an athletics scholarship at a major school.

The joint lubrication was not what it was when I was competing, and I decided that not having arthritis or rheumatism for the rest of my life was a lot more important to me than returning to the track.

I was always more of an academic than a jock.

Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet.

My father was also a principal of a school and mother was a curriculum advisor. Both were educators.

Stretching was a major part of my preparation.
