Post-race Interview
: This embodies why we think Cain is going to be great. It's one thing to run fast times early, but Cain's attitude towards the pursuit of greatness is what will ultimately lead the way for continued success in US women's distance running. No longer is it just "an honor to be out there with such talented women." It's a "Why not me? Why wouldn't I be able to be the best in the world?" attitude.
