My Dad's A Pastor And A Seminary

I Am A Sprinter, And I Love To Go Fast. It's Very Difficult For Me To Be Patient And Follow A Race Strategy Or Conserve Energy.

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 Have Learned That Track Doesn't Define Me. My Faith Defines Me. I'm Running Because I Have Been Blessed With A Gift.

It Was All Kind Of A Whirlwind At The Beginning. I Didn't Really Realize That I Had A Special Gift From God. It Was Probably Towards The End Of High School In My Senior Year When Things Really Started To Come Together And I Realized That I Had More Potential And That I Could Do This As A Career And That The Olympics Were A Possibility.

I'm Always Nervous. If I Wasn't Nervous, It Would Be Weird. I Get The Same Feeling At All The Big Races. It's Part Of The Routine, And I Accept It. It Means I'm There And I'm Ready.
