[@apryljuly710]

No need to apologize for anything! The Fact that U are going to Paris as an Olympian TELLS us, that U have been busy, prayerful and focused. We your FANS understand your journey and are here to celebrate with you ! See U on the Podium(in JESUS name🙌🏽)

Congratulations 🍾

[@xtraana1108]

Not to be dramatic, but I actually did cry when I saw that you won. All those meets you weren't performing as you wanted turned into this golden moment. AND what hit me the hardest was that even though you kept hitting hurdle after hurdle you didn't give up and not only did you wait but you thanked God while you waited. It's always nice to see blessings in real time. GOOD LUCK MASAI !!

Congratulations Masai, I remember in tour final collegiate year in the NCAAs when you were unable to secure an individual national title, and it the following years you made team USA twice, and now you are an Olympian. Truly delayed but NEVER denied. Your growth from being a freshman at Kentucky to now being a professional athlete is a testament to faith, patience, hard work, and never giving up!! Glad to say that I have been a part of your journey in sharing your bright and unique personality. Congratulations once again and thank you for being an inspiration to many (including me)!!!!

Thank you 😭❤️

[@shawndamon7051]

Something that stood out to me the most was after you started to mention you were having some mental hardships this season, following that statement, you said "it's only been looking up from here" -or something along those words.. that to me speaks so much resilience and humbleness, because despite all the things you were experiencing at those times this season, you still came through with a positive and growth mindset, and didn't let the things you were going through, take you away from the prize. That's so real sis, and I'm happy you get to share your real and raw story, with the world.

[@kas.ee_]

literally teared up watching the finals 😭😭😭SO SO PROUD OF YOU GIRL❤❤

[@dawngreen5092]

Congratulations Baby Girl! I’m super duper proud of you. I’m an old lady that loved track as a child but never got the opportunity to do organized track. However, I still love it and I still root for young people such as yourself. I discovered your videos about a year ago. I used to live in Upper Marlboro so the connection to the DMV had me rooting for you from the start. I was in tears Sunday when you broke the record! Go after your dream! Your light is shining bright right now 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@CLVerner]

I coach in DC. My athletes and I have been following you since your Bullis days! Super proud! Congratulations!

Your vlogs make us feel like we are a part of the journey so thank you for the effort you put into your channel. I know the year seemed like your toughest most challenging year and maybe it was but that's exactly why you have a trials record and soon to be world record. The perseverance you showed was amazing! It's only up from here 🥇

Well done Masai. I was so proud of and happy for you. You've worked so hard. The difference I saw was your confidence and belief in yourself at the trials. If you take that mentality to Paris, you will definitely be a dark horse to win it all. You are so inspirational and positive and I'm glad you have such a strong and supportive village around you. Please please please, continue to block out the noise and you will rise to the top because the talent, humility and grace is there.
