You know, I don't really see a reason to keep going, there's a lot more track to be run later in the season. So, I just wanted to make sure I came out here. I was able to put together a great start, a great acceleration and you know, a finish like Noah Lyles. So I'm ready to go even more later on in the season, this is a great start.” He shared [0:47 onwards]
