ICYMI: Post-WCs Reflections

With the conclusion of the World Championships in Beijing, the finest, fittest athletes take a moment to reflect on the event with perspective, resilience, humor, and thanks, and set their sights on the future.

It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. I left Beijing with life lessons and new friends. I was not in my top form this week, but have confidence that the best is yet to come….#roadtorio2016 #olympics #teamusa #motivation

Well I might have had my worst meet in 10 years but at least this didn’t happen to me. #SilverLiningKindaGirl https://t.co/e8b3JBhRHs

Despise the result today, worst at a major in my career. Much appreciated those who showed me love. Can’t wait to see my growing family!

Man, what an awesome experience. Not the ending I was hoping for, but excited to have some more racing opportunities next month. Best of luck to the rest of Team USA as they finish up the World Championships in Beijing and thanks to everyone back home for the continued support as always! #USATF #NikeRunning #runningwildic

Teared up walking the steps of the Great Wall today. As I reflected on how far I have come and how bright the future is looking, I was overcome with so much emotion. Never thought I would be here but know there is no place I’d rather be. #blessed #RoadtoRio #Worlds2015 #TeamNike #TeamUSA #usatffoundation

I can’t believe I just got 4th place at the World Championships…. Someone has seriously been watching over me. I have said it a million times, but I’ll say it again: I can’t thank my supporters enough because without you guys, I never would have made it here. #ProHogs #WPS #TeamUSA #Nike #USATF #2015WorldChampionships

As I prepare to leave Beijing tomorrow, I can’t help but to reflect back on how special this week was for me. To have my parents in the stands watching as I received my first medal was truly a blessing. As I stepped on the podium, I couldn’t help but to think back on how far I’ve come. This experience has been nothing short of amazing, God is good, and I do believe the best is yet to come. #Beijing2015 #Blessed #GreaterisComing
