Athlete Quotes - Women's Heptathlon - Day 1

Hyleas Fountain – Leader Women’s Heptathlon (Day 1)
 
On the first day of competition:
“My awesome shot put PR was great. I started slow but I knew what I wanted to do.”
 
On her season thus far:
“I haven’t really raced that much this year. With a few more it would have been better today but there have not been many meets for me to compete in this year without going to Europe.”
 
On the field:
“The competition is great. There are a lot of collegiate girls out there and some pros that I haven’t competed against yet before. I think everyone is doing really well though.”
 
On competing at Hayward Field again:
It was a huge confidence booster. Last night I had the best night of sleep I ever had the night before a meet.”
