McKenzie talks about enjoying Nashville, where she will be attending Vanderbilt University and running for the Commodores this fall. She talks about becoming a Nashvillian, which means buying her first pair of cowboy boots. She details problems at Alabama that led her to transfer to the University of San Francisco and teammates who welcomed her to the team. She mentions the race she wants to try at Vanderbilt this winter and the most impressive athletic feat she's ever seen (hint: it's by a family member). McKenzie also details the food she eats just about every day.
