MySpace Backgrounds"EVERY ACCOMPLISHMENT STARTS WITH THE DECISION TO TRY."I moved to San Diego from Houston, TX in 2002 to train for the Olympics as a 400 hurdler. Now, I'm on the east coast still pursuing my Olympic Dreams with a great new coach as a heptathlete. I LOVE the sport of track & field, but more so the journey and the challenges it brings. I LOVE to compete. My best lifetime performances have resulted when people thought I was out for the count. I guess you can say I am a sucker for a good challenge. I draw my inspiration from within and from other athletes in the sport.
