I didn’t even know. I had no idea.

Q. And what was the state record?

The state record was 10.65.

Q, Are they going to let you have the title?

No. It will be unregistered, I guess you could put it.

Yeah. (laughter)

Q. I’m excited for you.

I’ll see what I can do, I guess. We are all kind of curious now.

Q. About what?

How fast I can run.

Q. What are you going to do about your foot?

The trainers say it is a strain or something.

Q. Just stay off of it -s quit running?

Pretty much. It’s easier said than done, though.
