I overcame size with mechanics.

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

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

I never struggled with injury problems because of my preparation - in particular my stretching.

I wanted to go to medical school. But, I never got a college scholarship.

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

Stretching was a major part of my preparation.
