This determination has allowed her to excel in two sports at the highest levels winning medals in both gymnastics and track at a national level. She is a very coachable athlete, constantly looking to improve by asking for feedback during track practices and after races. In my nineteen years of coaching track and field, she is the most talented sprinter I have ever had the pleasure of coaching."
