1. During the dual against USC, you competed in four events (400m, 400 hurdles, 4x100 relay and 4x400 relay) which saw you clock 51.69 in the open and 55.37 in the hurdles. What's amazing about the hurdle performance is that it came after the open. How did you prepare for each event with such a short time schedule?

Preparation for this meet starts back in the fall. My base workouts prepare me for a meet like this, NCAA and any other meet that I have to double, triple or quadruple. While at the meet this past weekend, the thought of whether I would be able to run as well as I did, doesn't cross my mind. It's more of a 'just get it done.' I don't really question whether I'm in shape to do it, I just do it.

2. Going back to the hurdles, your time is the second-fastest in the U.S. this season. Did the time meet your expectation? How technically sound was the race?

The time definitely met my expectations. Even though I did the same thing last year, to be able to do it again and run faster in both events shows that I have improved, which is my goal when entering any season. My race was far from technically sound; however, that was not because I haven't been working on my technique, it was more because I was focused on running and winning to get points. I hit a few hurdles and chopped a few times. So given all this I'm ready to run the hurdles fresh where I can focus on better execution.
