Expectations for Rio: My expectations include making it into both the 400m and 4x4 relay finals and winning a medal. It is also my goal for our men’s 4x4 relay team to defend its Olympic title and and have our national anthem played once again. Finally, I would like to just go out there and have fun while representing my country and enjoying my 5th and final Olympic Games.
