"I am looking forward to the Brooks meet. It is a fun filled fantastic meet and I've been to it since I was a freshman. Take aside all the fun I'm looking forward to the competition. It's such a fast meet you couldn't get any better than this meet. My Goal for Brooks PR is to get a PR. It is my last indoor meet of the season all the more to try and go out and get a PR. It is a perfect environment to get a PR in."
