I Want To Run For Eternal Glory

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.

If I Wasn't Active And Involved In Different Sports And Just Moving Around, I Wouldn't Have Even Known That I Had The Potential To Become An Olympian.

For Me, My Faith Is The Reason I Run. I Definitely Feel I Have This Amazing Gift That God Has Blessed Me With, And It's All About Using It To The Best Of My Ability.

I Feel Like I'm Always Going To Be Me. It Always Goes Back To Being The Person That I Am. And I Hope That Will Never Change.

As A Female Athlete, You're Always Fighting To Be On A Level Playing Field With Your Male Counterparts. But I Believe The Olympics Is Great For Young Girls; They Get To Be Exposed To So Many Different Sports And To These Really Strong Women. It's An Opportunity To Showcase What We Do, Which Is Something That Men Get The Opportunity To Do On A Pretty Regular Basis.
