Kendall Ellis Fulfills A Dream By Winning The U.S. Olympic Trials 400m, Back-To-Back PRs | CITIUS MAG LIVE FROM EUGENE

“It was really just keeping that hope alive, telling myself over and over again: it’s going to happen when it needs to happen. God made me who I am and when it’s supposed to be, that’s when it’s going to be. No earlier, no later.” Kendall Ellis joins us live in Eugene to share about her trajectory over the past six years + how she was finally able to have a breakthrough personal best to win the Olympic Trials 400m in 49.46. She shares about how she’s stayed patient while continuing to build confidence, how she prepared for the Olympic Trials, how she blocks out the noise of her competitors’ performances, other 400m legends that she looks up to, and lots more.
