I am so glad I made the decision to come down here, it is one of the best things I have ever done.

We think we have a chance. It's been a definite step up in competition. There are so many good teams out there at this level. I am going to try and have the best year I can and then move to Texas. From there we will just have to see how it goes.

When my coach told me I was drafted I was really excited. It's a chance for me to keep doing what I love best. Losing out on the Olympics was sad, not just for me, but for a lot of little girls out there playing softball. That was always a goal of mine. That's life, I have to move on with this chance.

I think the thing (about) her is discipline; to be able to combine athletics and her academics, she's very serious about everything she does but she's also able to enjoy life as well. She has good sprint speed, she's very smart and she has a lot of guts. All that adds up to a good 400 runner.
