1. My pre-meet ritual includes …

I have my specific warm up, but I always have to follow my eyes around the track and visualize myself running my race before competition. I have to see each step in my mind, like where I am going to speed up and when I am going to hold back. 

2. Who are some of your major influences that pushed you to pursue collegiate track and field?

My parents have been so supportive in pushing me with track and anything I have done. My high school coach Curtis Custis has also been a huge influence for me getting into Division I track and he still continues to help push me, even in college.

3. If I could trade places for a day with someone, I'd choose...

Sanya Richards Ross because I would like to see how an Olympic gold medalist trains and what it takes to get where she is.  

4. If I'm not at track and field practice, I'm probably...

Studying or writing a paper. I also like spending time with my friends and talking to my family back home. 

5. One thing people may not know about me is...

I am only 5' 3" but I used to play center in basketball when I was younger.
