Right now I'm trying to get my studies going then when I get out on the track I'm leaving everything on the track, but once I leave here I have to get back to my studies," McCloud said.
"When I'm running my mind frame is just try to stay clean and quickness over the hurdle and between the hurdles," McCloud said.
