you know I didn't know what to expect this year um being my second uh trials I kind of knew what my expectations were I knew what times I needed to run I knew what it was required to make the team so just giving my best out there to you know hit my a standard and hopefully make the team on Sunday okay and I see you giving Barbie a social yeah it's a little purple today I love it so I see that referen you as a it girl so this another it girl moment for you and what does it mean for you to be it girl yes it means a lot show my style you know and also perform and just show that feminine energy on the track sports that's all I'm you know for so I love that you know people are acknowledging my outfit they are St off with the nail yes yes yes and how how it has carried you through this moment into for par so I have a lot behind me I have train I have a phenomenal training group that I um train with in Orlando Florida and then obvious like my parents my family like myant other like they're always with me every step of the way they try to come to as many tracking as they possibly can and I always feel the love and support whether they're here or you know back at home okay nice so so training in Florida is a lot different than like coming from Cleveland absolutely oh my goodness if you ever get used to it yeah no yeah everyone's like oh my gosh why are you so hot you live in Florida I'm like we train at 7:30 in the morning like this is crazy but um a lot different you know I'm able to train Outdoors all year round that's something I didn't get the opportunity to do up North cuz it's cold until about May um so being able to train fulltime Outdoors has been very new to me but the 100 m t63 final thankk you so much congratulations can I get a couple of questions
