I love the relays. Track is such an individual sport, so it's fun to do something together.

Jackie Joyner-Kersee is actually someone I have a personal relationship with and who continues to do amazing things in her community. I continue to be inspired by her. If I can emulate myself after someone it's her and I just hope to have that effect on my community and continue to go on to do things like she has.

I'm really laid back but I still like to dress up sometimes.

It was all kind of a whirlwind at the beginning. I didn't really realize that I had a special gift from God.
