Right Now I'd Say My

I'm Always Nervous. If I Wasn't Nervous, It Would Be Weird. I Get The Same Feeling At All The Big Races. It's Part Of The Routine, And I Accept It. It Means I'm There And I'm Ready.

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.

I Spend Around Two And Half Hours On The Track Every Day Running And Another 2 Hours In The Weight Room Lifting Weights With My Strength Coach.

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!

The Most Important Lesson That I Have Learned Is To Trust God In Every Circumstance. Lots Of Times We Go Through Different Trials And Following God's Plan Seems Like It Doesn't Make Any Sense At All. God Is Always In Control And He Will Never Leave Us.
