Day Six Quotes — IAAF World Junior Championships

“I was nervous because I knew that I had good starters next to me – good runners in general next to me. I knew Dior [Hall] was going to get out, so I knew that my start had to come together. I knew everybody was going to bring their A game, plug game. This is the finals. I got out and of course I was behind, but I knew it. I’m a strong finisher, so knew if I kept my technique together I could hopefully pull away, and the finish was close because I got to about hurdle eight and nine and could still see Dior in my peripheral, so I knew I had to sprint. I knew I had to remember to not lean because whenever I lean, I end up losing. I just tried to run through the finish line, and I’m happy that we both got in the 12s. it’s a really good feeling.”
