5 Questions with Marvin Bracy

Published by Daily Relay on February 20, 2014

1. Daily Relay: Congratulations on your big win at Millrose Saturday. How did it feel to win on that stage in NYC against a strong field? Were you worried you may have false started?

Marvin Bracy: Thank you! To be honest it felt GREAT, but it also felt like any other win. It’s just one race in the books now. It’s always great to beat great opponents. It kind of lets me know where I stand for now. I honestly didn’t know I flinched at all, but I’m truly happy they allowed me to stay in the race and compete.

2. Daily Relay: You have had a breakout season thus far. Did you see this coming? What has changed in your life to help you get to this next level?

Marvin Bracy: Like any other runner, you always look forward to your hard work paying off to have a great season. I knew that I’d have success, I just didn’t know how much. I just know what I have to do to be the best I can be at what I am doing. Also my drive is to put a muzzle on every doubter I can.

3. Daily Relay: Word on the street was that when you went professional, it was a gear deal with Adidas. Any truth to that? With your recent success, does your deal sweeten? How hard was it to leave football behind for track and field?
