Shedding light on her upcoming goals, Shelly said, “Well, listen 10.6 after having that season last year. That’s definitely opened a new door for me in terms of the dreams and goals that I am chasing. But in this season I am definitely looking forward to run 10.5 and possibly 10.4 because that’s the aim. And I think I am on my way to that. I just have to continue to trust that goal and I’ll just continue to put in work.”
