“I’m extremely excited to be back to Ocean Breeze for the competition this weekend. Being able to have a track meet at an awesome venue like Ocean Breeze during these times is huge for the athletes. I’m very thankful to everyone involved in putting the meet on for having me here.

Training has been going really well. I’m 2 weeks off of a fresh personal best in the indoor 800m which was also the 6th fastest time ever run by an American indoors. The weird year last year gave me some extra time to work on my weaknesses and I’m excited where things are at headed into a big outdoor season and am hoping for a big race here at Ocean Breeze on Saturday.”
