Faith is the word🙏🏽 shoutout to God.
Only 10 women in history have broken 12.30. And now @masai_russell is one of them. The NCAA record holder is also now the Olympic Trials record holder with a 12.25 victory to make her second straight U.S. team and first Olympic team.

🩷 I will stop to talk with you every time. Thanks for the great vibes and positive energy. See you soon <3.
Got told by athletes that I’m easy to talk to because I give off big sister energy that makes them feel safe. BIGGEST COMPLIMENT EVER!!!. Met @masai_russell for the first time in Zurich & caught this 😭. Super grateful for all the athletes that trusted me this year for real 💜
