Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Tell us about one of the most memorable experience that you had at the Olympic Games.
Ms. Chantae McMillan:
I have a couple of memorable experiences from the 2012 Olympic games. One was walking into the track and field stadium to compete in the first event of the heptathlon, the 100m hurdles. 80,000 fans became little dots of colors, all blended together, making noise that all muffled together into one large roar. It was amazing competing against the best heptathletes in the world! I also enjoyed being surrounded by the best athletes in the world at the Olympic village and meeting so many people that I can call my friends to this day.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You were one of six athletes who graced the 2015 cover of ESPN’s famous Body Issue. Share with us your experience doing the cover.
Ms. Chantae McMillan:
Such a great experience to be on the cover of the ESPN Body Issue! I was invited through email to participate in the Body Issue, then after the photo shoot, I was told that they loved the photo so much, they chose it as a cover! The shoot itself was 2 hours East of San Diego, in the middle of nowhere. Throughout the photo shoot, the sand became very hot, requiring breaks periodically to hydrate and cool off my bare feet! Overall, I was very comfortable being naked in the middle of the dessert because we compete almost naked at every track and field meet! I’m thankful for everybody involved in making this happen and allowing me this opportunity.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Advice and motivational words to the inspiring and budding track and field athletes who all are your fans, they shall like to know from you, what they should do for their climb to ladder of success in this field?
Ms. Chantae McMillan:
Being a track and field athlete is hard because it is all about you. There is no team, there is no one else to depend on throughout competition when it’s go time. You have to learn about yourself as an athlete and build confidence off your best qualities. Being disciplined is key in track and field. Listening to your coach and trusting the program that he has put together for you! Completing the little things before and after practice, such as stretching, rolling out, icing, eating to help your muscles recover. Stay focused, daily on the small goals that are going to help you reach the ultimate, large goal!!
