Allyson and Shaunae are amazing finishers, we are all that talented, but when I went down the home straight, I just believed in myself and stayed patient.

More quotes by Phyllis Francis

What I tend to do to myself is run other athletes' races so this time I decided to do my own race and it turned out really well.

It was such a satisfying feeling. It validated my decision to leave Oregon and train out of Texas.

At the finish line I was surprised, I thought I was second or third but then they told me, 'You are first!

When I looked over toward them, they were like, 'You did it! You did it!' They were jumping up and down.

I went to (the University of) Oregon and it rains there all the time. This is nothing. I actually like this kind of weather, believe or not.
