The girls put me in a great position and I love to chase. It was a smart run and I'm really happy to be getting that experience early in the season.
I think we have solidified ourselves as one of the best relays in the world and we're just continuing that on.
I'm really excited to see what we can do at the World Championships now that we're qualified.
