Really? So I did get some kind of record, huh? It's great to show how dominant I am this year, running fast times consistently and winning every race. I prayed before the season to be dominant, and it's all come together.

I think it really stakes the claim that I'm the champion, ... I run like a champion. I show up big when it's time to show up big.

The 100m has always been my main focus in life but I'm now wanting to run more 200m, particularly next year. I think I have a lot to prove in the event.

call home knew places run time tracks
The first time I was in Icahn Stadium, I knew you could run sub-10 on that track. It's New York, hey. It's where I was born, where I was raised. There's not a lot of tracks I can call home, that have a home feel about them, and I think this can be one of those places for me.

It would be nice to grab first place in both events. If I run a great race tomorrow I can finish top of the 200 as well.
