Here she is, ladies gentlemen, Melissa, Jefferson Wooden.

Melissa, how you doing?

Good.

How are you guys?

We're doing amazing.

Let me start you with this. You get off to a great start. You run high 10-8s early in the season and you haven't let up. Do you feel you're in the type of shape, you're in the type of condition that you can go to the, the,

uh, the championships and maybe run sub 1060. You feel you in that kind of condition? The right track, the right conditions, the right people, because you're going to have offering in that

race. You're going to have Toulou in that race. You're going to have Tia Clayton in that race.

You're going to have your, your training partner, Shakari Richardson in that race. You're going to have Toulou in that race. You're going to have Tia Clayton in that race. You're going to have your training partner,

Shakari Richardson, in that race. So you're going to have the competition.

Will the conditions permit you with the fitness that you're in right now?

I think so. And I think really it just boils down to, you know, me at the end of the day, just continuing to do the things that's been working for me with it, which is, you know, showing up and executing my race to the best of my ability.

And I think I definitely do think that is possible.
