I try to think about my goals. I think about my competitors-I know they're working hard, and if they are, I have to work hard too. I have to be one step ahead of them.
I always want to give more than I gave yesterday.
Philippians 1:21 is very special to me because it helps to keep my life centered.
Before a race, I block out what's going on in the stadium. It's different for everyone. But for me, I've always been able to block it out. For a sprint race, it's important not to get distracted.
Being a role model is a privilege.
I'm just competitive. It doesn't matter what it is. I want to win.
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.
I never let track define me. That's something that's really important to me.
For me, there's a lot of expectations and you want to be able to live up to them.
I've got to make sure I'm keeping weight on.
I love a great pair of jeans and a nice blouse.
I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.
I majored in elementary education, and I have a passion for kids.
I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.
