Look at this stud. Krishna credits the start of her career to her 2nd grade PE teacher back in her hometown of Nashville, TN. He referred her to a local track club, so it’s no wonder why the track is her favorite place to run. Now as a coach herself she tries to set a good example for all the athletes she coaches. Keep the inspiration juices flowing Krishna! They are working.
