Hello everyone,
First off I’d like to thank you guys for giving me the opportunity to talk about my progression through the sport. I will also be giving you updates on how footlocker is going while I’m in San Diego, including after the race.
Where do I begin? Well, I first got introduced to the sport when I was in 3rd grade through the Knoxville Track Club’s youth athletics program. I’d go out to the practice sites mainly to hang out with my friends. It was fun. Eventually my friends started making the AAU team, so I decided that I was going to have to make this “team” so I could hang out with them. The first event I made it in was the high jump, ironically. After a couple sub-par seasons (to say the least), I decided that the high jump wasn’t for me. The next move I made was the multi-events, which are the combination of 110 hurdles, shot put, long jump, high jump, and 1500 meters. Now I wasn’t as bad at this as I was at the high jump, but still sub-par. The good thing ...
