What is your favorite track and field meet? The Payton Jordan Invite has always been great to my running career. Every time I’ve raced there from college to postcollegiate I’ve run a PB.
What drives you to work so hard? A long time ago I made a deal with myself that if I’m going to do something that I will give it 100% of my attention. Otherwise it would just be waste of time for me and my coaches.
If you could road trip across the country with anyone, who would it be? I would take Coach Rowland with me and our golf clubs so we can golf as we trip across the country.
What is the coolest experience you’ve had as a Nike athlete? Probably the gear. I like to style when I’m not competing they provide some of the dopest gear. So fresh so clean clean!
