“I’m so excited and honestly I can’t wait to get out there. (I feel) Amazing. Honestly, yeah I just can’t wait honestly I’m very excited to get out there and do my best. I know my place and I want to try and usurp some people, get faster, get a personal best if possible, yeah I’m just going to go out there and do my best.”
