I overcame size with mechanics.

Stretching was a major part of my preparation.

I always got my work done before playing.

I don't really see the hurdles. I sense them like a memory.

One of my major competitors was Harold Smith. Smith beat me in 1977. I was loafing during that competition.

I went to Moorehouse College. There was no track and field there.

Both parents supported my becoming a world class athlete.
