When I was in high school, I ran hurdles, but I was really short, so I'd barely clear them. I was pretty quick, but I had little legs, so I had to take 50 steps in between each hurdle.

I didn't go to university. I didn't go to culinary school, barely made it through high school.

It's big. I was shocked when I ran out there. It's kind of breathtaking, but it was a lot of fun.

He ran well. He got off to a real good start, tripped up on a few hurdles in the middle, but what counts is that he scored and earned All-America recognition. I think this is redemption for being left out of last year's indoor meet.

I've been enjoying it, getting a chance to play against top competition. Even when I was younger, playing high school in Natchez, a lot of people wouldn't have expected me to play at this level. It's been fun.
