I’ve always been very athletic  (Track And Field Quotes) 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.

The local people had programs for us year-round, where as kids we had the opportunity to play football, basketball, baseball, track and field - we just went from one sport to the next, year-round.  (Track And Field Quotes) In high school, I did a little track and field and ran on my own. In college, I would run every now and again, but I didn’t have enough time to be devoted to it.  (Track And Field Quotes) I’ve had some experience in track and field in school, but I did have to train to be able to play Jesse Owens - to be a runner, to be an Olympian.  (Track And Field Quotes) I went to Moorehouse College.

For me, track and field was a whole ‘nother beast  (Track And Field Quotes) Many track and field people know that if I stay relaxed and run my race like I’m supposed to, I will be the winner at the Olympic Games  (Track And Field Quotes) You’d like more people to recognise what you do is special.
