It kind of surprised me. I didn't train too hard, because I didn't want to overdo it. It worked.

It was a step back. I took the summer off. It was a mistake, but I think I've learned from it.

None of the other girls made it and I was just kind of ready for the season to be done after the conference tournament that year.

I'm much more excited this time. I'm older and smarter.

Those are the kind of teams I've always been around. Scrappy guys who like to train hard, put the team first and have an intense desire to succeed. So the superstar thing kind of goes out the window.

I've got a song called 'Salt Skin' because when you run in the heat it evaporates and you've got salt crystals on your face. I love that, because it means you've worked really hard.
