Age is no barrier. It's a limitation you put on your mind.

Don't follow in any footprints, make your own prints. Because, you are the future of tomorrow.

"Competing in both track and field and basketball for the Bruins I have a lot of great memories to choose from. But my all-time favorite moment in collegiate sports has to be in 1982 when we won UCLA's first NCAA title in track."

Once I leave this earth, I know I've done something that will continue to help others.

I don't think being an athlete is unfeminine. I think of it as a kind of grace.

I'm a realist and I always have been.
