I'll be giving it my best shot,

They were playing duck, duck, goose with the lanes. They couldn't find out who was in Lane 3 or Lane 7 or Lane 8, so they switched it around. Then the announcer called it with the wrong lanes, so they switched it around again. They did that about three times. But the audience was patient, we were patient and we put on a good show.

I was probably the slowest starter in the whole race but it's the last race of the season and I knew I had to go out there and do it on the track.

It was a great season for me. I want to focus on quality races next year.

It was really exciting as a college athlete watching the red, white and blue run the last day. Everybody comes on the last day to watch the professionals, whether it's raining or not.

The time would have been faster and the world record would have been threatened. But I still would have beaten him. If he's ready, bring it on, I'm the Olympic champion and the world champion.
