“I feel like in the very beginning I was very nervous, obviously to step back out there because a lot of athletes when they take a couple years off, you have a little bit of doubt if you’re going to even be the same athlete you were, how strong you were going to be,” she told PEOPLE.
“And then going into Championships was like, okay, let’s get through two dates of competition, see how this goes. Just keep training,” she added. “So I feel a lot more confident now I’m heading into World Trials and then hopefully making that World team. So it feels a lot better than prior.”
