I Don't Have A Sprinter's Body.

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

There Was A Race That I Was Running In Mexico City And I Was The Only High School Athlete Running Against Grown Women. It Was A Professional Race, But I Ended Up Winning. That Was Kind Of A Turning Point For Me Where I Felt Like, "okay, I'm Pretty Good At This And There's A Possibility For This To Be A Career For Me." That Was A Defining Moment For Me.

For Me, There's A Lot Of Expectations And You Want To Be Able To Live Up To Them.

Every Moment Is Not Great And Sometimes Those Are The Moments In Which You Learn The Most.

My Mom Always Has This Amazing Ability To Always See The Best In A Situation. In That Moment [when Finished 2nd In The 200 Meter Race In The 2008 Olympic Games] I Was Just Completely Devastated. I Mean, I Had Worked So Hard; That Was My Opportunity. And She Was Just Able To Turn It Around For Me. She Helped Me To Be Able To See The Other Side Of Things And That This Is Not The End For Me. She's Just An Amazing Supporter And An Encouraging Person And She Has A Unique Ability To Do That. And So Those Are The Kind Of Things She Said To Me In That Moment And Over The Next Four Years. When Things Get Tough, She's Always Been My Strength.
