Why have you chosen to live and train in Eugene?  Racing and training around the globe has afforded me the opportunity to experience multiple communities and how they view and value the simple act of running. To put it simply, Eugene actually cares. In this city, running matters. My first visit to Eugene (to watch Prefontaine Classic) opened my eyes. Everywhere I looked, people were active. There was a certain electricity present at every track meet that reinforced that the most important fact regarding track and field here: there is no better place to be- if you are, have been, or will be a runner.

Why have you chosen to run for Coach Rowland?  Coach Rowland is the only coach for me. A good coach knows how to adapt a program/approach based on the athlete. At the end of the day, he's dealing with 20+ people who are at the pinnacle of their sport. These athletes are also driven by a variety of different motivations. It takes a special coach to decipher and cultivate those internal emotions. My coach does that better than any other. It also doesn't hurt that, as an athlete, he's "been there". Olympic medals weigh heavy in this sport. He's walked the walked, and knows what we are going through on a daily basis.

What is an interesting fact about you that we may not know?  I can whistle "Flight of the Bumblee". Ask me sometime.

What is the coolest experience you’ve had as a Nike athlete?  Being flown (business class in a lie-flat seat) to Dubai for a photo/video shoot! INCREDIBLE!

Which teammate inspires you and why?  Hassan Mead. He's dependable, physically and emotionally. He always shows up, positive and ready to do the job!

What is the most challenging moment you’ve faced as an athlete?  Weeks before the NCAA championship, running as a senior at the U of O, I sustained a navicular stress fracture. Determined to reach the end of my final season, I pushed through the pain and made it to that final meet at Hayward Field, taking All-American honors in the 5000. Unfortunately, my foot required surgery. I wouldn't run a step for six months. Graduating, I faced a big decision: pursue post-collegiate running with the grave set-back or move on to the next challenge in life. I chose the former, and am glad I did. Regardless, those long days spent in a cast and crutches provided ample time to ponder on the uncertainty of my future. The largest challenge was embracing that fear & marrying it with determination. I knew that I might fail and never become a professional runner, but I also knew that if I gave everything to my passion, I could live with whatever result followed.

What makes you different?  I'm a focused individual who, for whatever reason, is hell bent on realizing potential. I will never be that person who looks back and wonders if I could have done it better.
