Actually, I didn't know for sure. I thought it might be around the record. When I had gotten back, I looked online and found out it was true, and I was pretty excited about it. ... It's just gratifying to know that I got my goal. |
Going into my race, I felt wet and cold, ... and I really wasn't in the mood to run. |
I don't know if it's really sunk in yet. I am glad I did it. I kind of made it my goal to do that. |
I had been wanting to do that for a while, but I didn't know how or when. ... It felt great, wonderful, amazing. |
I prepared in the long run, conditioning and training, with Coach Cochrane and Christina Winkler, our assistant coach. ... I really didn't expect a provisional at all. |
I was close in high school to a few, but never really got them. ... But I'm glad I got the one for [this] school, and I hope it lasts for a while. I hope I can best it this year. |
You don't really think about much [while racing]. You're just so into the race, you just kind of instinctively just run as hard as you can. Not a lot goes through your mind - just beat the person next to you. |
