1. You really came out on the scene big last year in the 800 meters as a freshman by finishing second at the NCAA Indoor Championships and sixth at the Outdoor Championships. What kind of expectations do you have heading into the 2002-03 seasons?

Well I haven't given it that much thought. It is a World Championship year and I would love to make a run at the team. This year I want to be more comfortable in my game plans for races and trying to figure out what is the best way for me to run the fastest. There are a lot of talented guys out there now and I have to be on the top of my game to go after them.

2. What was your main decision to enroll into Tennessee considering you could have gone anywhere in the country?

I loved the atmosphere here. I signed before all of the success so that was not a large part. I felt that the guys here would be like brothers to me and that the coaches truly cared. I am happy that I was right about this place. This school embraced me quickly and I am glad I was able to produce results for them.
