Morgan Uceny says she's just "a small-town girl from Plymouth, Indiana."

But she will be thinking big as she steps into the spotlight at the world's biggest track meet Saturday night.

Uceny, a 2003 Plymouth High School graduate, begins her quest for a gold medal in the women's 1500-meter run when preliminary heats are held at the IAAF World Track & Field Championships in Daegu, South Korea.
