Trammell,
Track Athlete
k the Year
A: The runner from Belgium (Jonathan Nsenga)
was about 28 or 29 and I guess the race was supposed
to come down to he and I. They kept giving
him so much attention, but I felt like the race would
do the talking.
Q: Were you nervous... confident... excited?
A: I was confident, yet aware anything can happen.
I just carried God with me and tried my hardest.
After hitting No. 2 real hard and the coming back
from sixth place to win brought about a tremendous
amount of excitement.
Q: After you won, you took a victory lap with the
American flag. What was the official ceremony like
for winners?

A: It was the next day. They raised
the flags. It was just like the stuff you
see on TV with Allen Johnson winning the fl
gold medal. fl
\J: What was your mood like after the
USATF Championships (tripped over a hurdle
and did not finish the race)? How did you refocus? f
A: I was ready for redemption. Although I didn't |
do as I expected in Oregon (USAs), I felt like it
happened tor a reason. Besides, 1 can appreciate
making the (Olympic) team next year.
Q: What about the 4x100m relay?
A: I am running the second leg and I do plan on
coming home with another gold medal!
