On Being The Big 12 Hammer Throw Champion?
“I’m really excited because I’ve never won a Big 12 championship in hammer yet. So, this is my first one outdoor and I’m really excited. I’ve won two indoor Big 12 weight championships, but never hammer so this is a big step for me."
On Higher Elevation In
“For some reason I get really winded easily out here?I run a lap and I’m about to die, but it didn’t affect me when I was throwing. And, it’s just beautiful having the mountains in the background throwing.”
On Throwing Day?
“I came in really relaxed and I wasn’t really nervous, but I got a little worried on my first throw because I fouled it. But, then I just tried to get my head together and threw out a 207 and just kept building on that.”
