Very assured. I’m not lying. You know, Kenny’s quick time during the trials really got my attention. I was really proud of him, and I knew that he would not take the way he performed in the 100 lying down. He would say, “I’m going for it, but my job is to make sure that man ain’t winning.” They are all losing. They’ll be sad when I get off the turn,” he remarked.
