About
I started to run track before it was popular for girls, joining the boys track team in junior high. The boys track coach had seen me sprint in physical education and talked me into going out for the team. This was before title IX so I had to get permission from the boys head coaches before I could compete. At first they laughed and just humored me by saying yes. When I started to beat their boys, they tried to change their minds and not let me compete. I ran on a track scholarship at Michigan State.
