Her instructions were to stay back and when people started to falter, she made her move. Once she was ahead, I knew no one would catch her. The other runners looked like they were wearing down, and she looked like she was just warming up.

She's a good captain. When you are that good (at running), you get that kind of respect right off the bat. She's a good person - a nice young lady. She's easy to approach, but when you run like she does, she automatically gets respect.

To finally get a national championship - she worked so hard and she deserved it. It is hard to come by. There are lots of good runners in our division, but it was well-deserved with how much she wanted it and how hard she worked. She's the best female distance runner we've ever had here - and we've had some good ones, but she heads the list. She's going to be hard to beat.

I have nothing to hide. I've had my ups and downs, and went through something 20 years ago. I've been ridiculed and persecuted, but I'm not bitter. I've gone through an enormous change, and now my life is driven by Christ.

This is not Bambi. You can't think of these things as cute cartoon characters. They are animals.
