Really? So I did get some kind of record, huh? It's great to show how dominant I am this year, running fast times consistently and winning every race. I prayed before the season to be dominant, and it's all come together.

good grab grip guys held nerves obviously onto stadium stick stuck taking
I just thought it was a little nerves from the start; a lot of these guys have never raced in a stadium that big. Leonard stuck out his hand. Mardy held onto the stick tight, a little too tight. Leonard went to grab it and obviously had a good grip on it, and he was taking it out of Mardy's hand, and Mardy still wouldn't let go.

It was great. That's the biggest cheer I put out the whole time I've been here. Seeing her win the gold medal, she deserves it more than me.

I am working on my start, once I have a good start, I think I can go to boundaries that no other man has been to.

I feel I established better credit to my name, being more consistent this year, running bigger races, and hopefully next year I can do the same thing, run quality races in fast times on fast tracks.
