I don't have a sprinter's body.

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.

It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though; I was just focused on making it to the state finals!

My faith inspires me so much. It is the very reason that I run. I feel that my running is completely a gift from God and it is my responsibility to use it to glorify him.

I grew up in a Christian home with amazing parents.

My mom is great and I make sure that we pray together before every race. She helps me put everything in perspective and remind me of the real reason I run.
