What do they love most about playing their sport(s)?

She loves pushing herself past her limits to get to the finish line. She just like running its her mental therapy.


Who inspires them—on or off the field—and why?

Her track coaches, me( her mom), and Allyson Felix.. We encourage her whether its a win or a lost. As long as she do her best thats all that matters. We remind her to stay out her head and her only opponent is her. She like Allyson because she ran the 400m and 200m dash. Which is her favorites to run..


What’s one moment in their athletic journey that makes you proudest?

Everytime I see her PR in her events but if I have to chose its when she ran at Arkansas State college for an AAU track meet for the first tim3 and became #4 in Arkansas in the 400m dash that year.
