Detroit Native Runs 10.93 in Final
Olympic silver medalist Lauryn Williams won the gold medal Monday evening at the IAAF World Championships in Helsinki. The Miami graduate now lives and trains in Miami. There are Williams' remarks at the press conference after her win.

I think my new saying is "silver feels good, but gold feels great."

I think it was a good start and a good finish. I didn't notice the rain. I was nervous, but it didn't even matter what was going on as far as the rain.

I think it was a good start and a good finish and that's why I made it to the finish line first. If I could put the whole race together every time I'd be a lot better off. I ran 10.91 in Lausanne. This is the first time I've noticed I had a good start and a good finish.

I think I needed the rounds. I think the biggest adjustment is that you come over to Europe and you get one race. We've been trying to do some different things as far as getting warmed up for just one race. But getting back into the rounds and having four rounds was a big plus for me. Going through, working the kinks out, being able to focus, go through the race -- my coach being able to tell me ' you did this wrong, try this next time' that sort of thing, I think that really made a difference.

I'm just getting started. I'm only 21 still. And I'm drinking milk though so I can probably make it to 5-3. 'Milk does a body good,' right?
