"I myself am frustrated in just where sports are at. It's a hard thing when you're out there working ..." — Allyson Felix

My dad's a pastor and a seminary professor; my mom, she has such great faith.

I spend around three hours on the track and two hours in the weight room, five or six days a week.

It was not until the end of my freshman year in high school that I thought I could really have a future in track and field. I definitely did not think I could make it to the Olympics back then, though; I was just focused on making it to the state finals!

The 200 meters is my baby. To me, it's the perfect distance. It's still a true sprint, but it unravels more. You get to enjoy the race a little bit more than the 100.
