One thing we don't have that other countries have is discipline, ... You have egos that get in the way, people who want to run certain legs, or who feel they should be on the team when they haven't proven themselves to the point where they're reliable enough to get the stick around.
I feel I established better credit to my name, being more consistent this year, running bigger races, and hopefully next year I can do the same thing, run quality races in fast times on fast tracks.
I feel a little sore, tired, like any person that runs fast.
The 100m has always been my main focus in life but I'm now wanting to run more 200m, particularly next year. I think I have a lot to prove in the event.
The first time I was in Icahn Stadium, I knew you could run sub-10 on that track. It's New York, hey. It's where I was born, where I was raised. There's not a lot of tracks I can call home, that have a home feel about them, and I think this can be one of those places for me.
I don't want to leave the sport saying I could have run faster. I just want to be tapped out, like I gave it my all.
I might go out there and grab a medal from these young boys running fast,
Pre has always produced fast times and great races. I'm looking forward to running fast like I did there last year.
I think it really stakes the claim that I'm the champion, ... I run like a champion. I show up big when it's time to show up big.
Leonard Scott ran a very good technical race, Sean Crawford came through easily, everybody's running really fast and times are pretty much equal in the first round. So everybody's going to have to come out and put their game on.
They have three rounds under their belts. I have about seven rounds under my belt right now. If I go out there competitive and run a great race, I think I can do it.
I'm a little bummed that we had a strong head wind like we did. I haven't run that slow in a long time.
It was really exciting as a college athlete watching the red, white and blue run the last day. Everybody comes on the last day to watch the professionals, whether it's raining or not.
It would be nice to grab first place in both events. If I run a great race tomorrow I can finish top of the 200 as well.
Really? So I did get some kind of record, huh? It's great to show how dominant I am this year, running fast times consistently and winning every race. I prayed before the season to be dominant, and it's all come together.
