We thought basically, if I medal, we will think about it. After I won, (Baylor) coach (Clyde) Hart and I sat down and we both agreed that there is nothing else in college for me to do.

It shows we compete, year in, year out.

I was fortunate to have a great bunch of guys running with me. Each leg put each other in a great position. Getting the stick around was our main goal.

They set me up with a great time. They gave me enough time to work with it. I just ran my usual race that I usually do.

Michael leaves all the coaching to coach Hart.

We know that we are the main athletes right now. We know that we are young and going to be on top for a while. We just go in, basically like we do every meet . . . we just focus on our own thing.

I'm a whole different runner from a couple of years ago, ... My race has been fundamentally perfect the last couple of years. In the big races I stay confident. I just listened to Coach Hart throughout my career, and there's no telling where I can go from here.

Coach Hart told me I could be Olympic champion.

All he tells me is to listen to what coach Hart says and if I have any nagging injury then I shouldn't try and run it off.
