Additional quotes by Carmelita Jeter

You have to bring your best, because that brings out the best in everyone.

So much talk was, "Women can't break records." That was so annoying; to hear over and over what women couldn't do. Then to go out and break the record — not just break it, but absolutely demolish it. It felt really good on a woman's side, to show that women could break records.

But once we get on the track, it's business. It's my career; this is what I do, what I love. And it's my job.

Sprinting is my life as well as my career. It's what I breathe, eat and sleep. - Carmelita Jeter
