I'm a little bummed that we had a strong head wind like we did. I haven't run that slow in a long time.

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.

I knew Tyson gets out very fast, and Wallace comes on strong at the end. I had to make sure I was patient throughout the whole race. I was pawning, playing chess with the guys.

As freshman, we were really bummed out that we couldn't win for the seniors.

They were playing duck, duck, goose with the lanes. They couldn't find out who was in Lane 3 or Lane 7 or Lane 8, so they switched it around. Then the announcer called it with the wrong lanes, so they switched it around again. They did that about three times. But the audience was patient, we were patient and we put on a good show.

I was probably the slowest starter in the whole race but it's the last race of the season and I knew I had to go out there and do it on the track.
