Commentary:
My achievements in athletics can be attributed to the support and love of my parents and the comradery and inspiration of my teammates and coaches throughout my career. I am a culmination of the tenacity and resilience of my mom and my dad’s unwillingness to give in or let up. I am now, off the track, a reflection of who I was on the track; prepared to compete, running my own race, and relentlessly chasing the finish line. I am grateful for the heart and focus I have given this sport, but more than that, I am grateful for what it has given me. To my love, Track & Field: My partner in rain, shine, tears, laughter, defeat, and now, sweet sweet victory. I am so humbly thankful that we have earned the right to celebrate one another. Thank you, always.
