WORLD CHAMPION!!

This year was anything but smooth. I didn’t race particularly well all year. Honestly, I hadn’t raced well for the last two years. But training really clicked this year with some new ideas. I knew at some point all this hard work would show up. My job was to keep showing up everyday, regardless of how things were going. This process over the past two years has allowed my faith to grow in the man upstairs. My faith is the backbone of who I am as a person, and that is something I’m really proud of. 

I want to give a shout out to some very special people. First and most importantly, my wife. Cherie has had my back ever since we started dating and is big reason for my success on and off the track. She has taught me I am more than an athlete, which has allowed me to enjoy all aspects of my life. Success like this is so much sweeter because I’m not just a world champion, and it is amazing to share this win as a team! 

To my family, I’m honestly lost for words. The support you have showed me over my career I could never repay you for, but I can say those phone calls post race are moments I will never forget. 

A huge thank you to my performance team, especially the two at the top, Coach Heather and my uncle Trevor, who has kept me healthy my entire career. They both helped create a program that worked best for me and being injury free all season set up perfectly to race well when it mattered. I’d even go so far to say that my execution at Worlds might have been the best of my career. Trevor and his son Luke even came to our pre-camp in Dubai to make sure I was all ready to go for Worlds. 

The work went beyond the two that I mentioned. India made for a challenging world championships to prepare for and my team absolutely nailed it- Jessalyn O’Donnell, Ollie Armstrong, John Coleman, Penny Werthner, Geoff Harris, and Sandeep Nandhra. There are many others to thank, but I wanted to personally mentioned these specific individuals.
