“I always had this goal in my mind to get my name up there,” Connally said. “But it started to become more serious during preseason for track when this was my chance to get it there and everything I was going to do was going towards this record.”

Connally began a speedster at a young age and in an earlier interview stated, “I wanted to earn my record next to my brothers as he is someone I look up to and who has helped me tremendously.”

in running throughout elementary school, “But it got more serious in middle school when I could join the track team…The work to achieve this goal was just to listen to my coaches and to always be pushing myself in practice. Some of the hard days were just when I got in my head, and when I just felt like I physically couldn’t do it, but I always just had to keep on pushing. I remember running my first actual race during the all comers meet in 2022, and it was amazing, I got to see how i compared to c level contact list high schoolers when I was in sixth grade and realized that I was fast. Something that I really love about this sport is that it’s just you and your thoughts when you’re running.”“I’ve been running for a long time, but didn’t start to run competitively until high school,” Iverson said. “When I finally ran on an organized track and cross-country team that practiced, worked out, and traveled together regularly is when I sort of became fully invested. And when I became invested came lots of hard work, that contributed to eventually getting the record. I think some of hardest days were over the winter, since it was just me and occasionally a few others, just running alone on a treadmill in the dead of winter, it was sort of hard to remind myself why I was working so hard when I was months out from the season even starting.”
