Even though she grew up playing football, shooting hoops and running races against all the boys in her neighborhood, U.S. 800-meter champion Alysia Montano never wanted to be thought of as one of them.

As a result, she started wearing a flower behind her right ear to remind the boys they were getting beat by a girl.

- Alysia Montano - USA 800m champion, mother and the women with a flower in her hair.

Ran a pr in my first race as a collegiate athlete. Not a bad start. But it’s just the beginning✨

I’m not holding back anymore. No, I’m not just going to be mediocre anymore. I’m ready to break records, I’m ready to follow my passions, I’m ready to do me utterly and completely. I am going to explode. And people will tell me I’m doing it wrong. But only I know the power I hold within. No one is going to bring me down, especially the people who have not yet discovered the universe they have inside themselves. Because I am full of power and wonder. I am ready to unleash it.
