We work together, we train together, we live just down the hall from each other. We’re best friends, both on the track and off it, and to have someone, you know, that’s your best friend up there with you in the race over that final finish line, it’s fantastic. I couldn’t ask for any more.”Hicks was equally psyched that his teammate pulled out the victory. “Ky looked amazing,” he said.
