TeeTee Terry reflects on the elite level of competition in track and field

In her interview with the Olympics in April 2025, the notable athlete TeeTee Terry expressed her thoughts on the high level of competition in the sport and competing among the best athletes in the world.

“Competing with some of the top ladies, not only in the US but in other countries as well – you have Julien [Alfred], Shelly-Anne [Fraser-Pryce], Shericka [Jackson], you have so many people that are going to come on your A-game every time they step on a track – so, you want to make sure you're in the same position because obviously in this sport nothing is given to you. You have to earn it."

TeeTee Terry won the bronze medal in the 2019 Pan American Games in the women's 4 × 100 m relay race event.
