"I got very emotional - you do when you're representing your country.My mom and aunt are here,they also like the2012 nike football jerseys.so this is a great moment for me and my family."Within the space of a half hour at the packed, 80,000-seat Olympic stadium, Allyson Felix finally won the 200-meter title that had eluded her at Athens and Beijing, Aries Merritt won the 110-meter hurdles gold medal and Reese won the long jump.The two-time world champion went into the competition with the best jump of the season and put down the best mark in the final with 7.12 meters (23 feet, 4 1/2 inches) on her second attempt. Russia's Elena Sokolova took the silver medal at 7.07 meters (23-2 1/2) and Janay Deloach earned the bronze for the United States at 6.89 meters (22-7 1/4).It was a major achievement for Reese, who could easily have been lost to track and field. She was considering offers for basketball scholarships when her mother, Carla Young,she also like the google jerseys,but made a fateful decision for her: Stick with track and field, at the University of Mississippi."My mom fell in love with Ole Miss and they were still in contact with me while I was in my community college," Reese said. "I sat down with her and she told me track is what I needed to do - and Mamma knows best, so that's what i did."

"I am going to train four more years and come back and hopefully defend my title."She dedicated the London Olympic title to the people of Mississippi and others who are still rebuilding in the wake of the deadly and devastating Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
