After USA failed to put an athlete into the final of the 2012 Olympics 400 meters, Poynter was asked for analysis:
"'I believe that we do not provide room for younger 400 runners to develop and just rely on retreads. It takes hard work, discipline, and support from our educational system. Physical education and track has been cutback or eliminated in many schools. If we do not increase and develop runners in our community I can only see the problem getting worse.'"
