Quote:
"To be honest I hated track
in high school, and never went to practice. But here at
Emory there is a certain bond I have between my coach, my teammates,
and my goals, that make me want to come to practice every single
day and work as hard as I can. Running track at a great
school like Emory is an unforgettable experience."
