Lynna Irby
What are you looking forward to most about the trip?
I'm looking forward to having a great time, learning about a new culture hands on, and getting great competition to run with.
How did it feel to receive all the sweet Team USA gear?
It made me more motivated to continue what I love to do (run track). The feeling was surreal, it was like opening birthday presents even though it wasn't my birthday.
What have you been doing to prepare for the meet?
I've been training really hard and staying focused
What’s life like at the training camp ?
It's almost like a little preview into college, we have a lot of freedom to make the right decisions when it comes to what time we need to practice, to when we need to eat. Makes me practice my time management skills, which I'm not so bad at
What are your goals going into World Youth?
My goal is to run my best times, and to make it on the podium to represent USA
Have you done any international MileSplit stalking of athletes you will be going up against?
No, looking at other people's times makes me so nervous to the point where I could cry and stress out to much. I just need to remember to run MY race the best that I can.
