TURNING PROFESSIONAL
She gave up a university scholarship and turned professional after high school after discussing her options with her coach, Derek Thompson. Her first season competing in the Diamond League was in 2013 when she was still a teenager. "I just remember my first season, running in my first Diamond League final and I don't remember what place I got but I remember going out into the stadium in Zurich for the ceremony and the lights were on and everyone put their phones up and it was such a cool energy and experience, to see the athletes get in the cars and go around, the fireworks, it was such a huge moment for me."
